Another general update

My son's play finished, my wife's has begun.  Always busy here.

Work has been super duper busy.

I have distro hopped back to Manjaro... but this time I opted for the GNOME Beta 4.  Not RC yet, but wow it has been very stable.  And their implementation of GNOME is pretty well thought out and as unobtrusive as possible.

Performance is also quite good for such a heavy UI.

So!  I have already decided what my next build will be... even though I imagine it will be spotty for awhile:  ARM.  Supposedly ARM will be coming out with a desktop CPU designed to compete with AMD and Intel and they claim competitive speeds/throughput.  So I am very much looking forward to that.  How can anyone NOT want a RISC machine?  :D

Been plugging away at Borderlands 2... I am so not a good first person shooter gamer.  I was screaming at the computer the other night because I had just about killed the boss that kidnaps Roland and he started firing out turrets like it was popping corn in an open pan.  I was a couple shots from beating him then the turrets came out so fast I spent all my time picking them off (my life was low) that he was able to target me with one of those flying things... I was so mad.  So then I leveled up again and went to the Hyperion prison and took him out there, in his home base.  :P  Felt good.

Now onto whats-his-face...  I forgot the robot's name... eh.  Anyway off to face him.  There's another one who rejoices in spitting out other robots to distract you.

So far, in game, I have not gotten past the eagle, again forgot his name, but I am trying a new build and hoping I will be able to take him this time... Bloodhawk?  I think that's his name.
