First Time Using VR Playing Light Repair Team #4

While i was at PAX East in Boston Massachusetts one of my goals was to try out the VR experience.  Unfortunately most of the lines were over four hours and required a reservation.  i was lucky because i found a booth behind the Discord area. i started to talk to the guys from Eerie Bear Games who developed Light Repair Team #4.  This is my experience.



About Game:  Light Repair Team #4 is a light-reflection puzzle game where you play as a light-pipe repair person. Figure out how to properly bounce, combine, move and split light through 25 puzzles so that you can return power to nearby buildings and get the city back on its feet.



The city of New Corona's power grid is none like any other. The city uses light to power its buildings! However, due to flooding and a new canal system to replace old roads and paths, the light-pipe power grid has fallen into state of fragility. It's breaking all the time! As the player, you will play as a light repair person on Light Repair Team #4. What happened to Light Repair Team #1 through #3? Well, thats another story. Use the provided mirrors, lenses and prisms to re-route the light pipes to their proper receptacles.

Sound like a simple job? Well, that depends on how bright you are.

New CPU cooler for BF

So I finally got my AIO water cooler for my CPU working quietly.  I had to remove the existing 48db fans and replaced them with Noctua NF-F12 fans.  The existing cooler is a Zalman Reserator 3 Max Dual.  It's a OK cooler I have some gripes with it but this isn't a review.  Anyway because my system didn't need the Cooler Master Hyper 212 which is a great after market CPU cooler for cheap.  I again am off point.  However I knew my boyfriend's computer was very loud. assuming that it had a AMD stock cooler I decided that he could benefit from the Hyper 212.  I got in to his case and omg did I find some dust bunnies.  I pulled his heatsink out pulling the CPU right along with it. I was shocked it was as if the heat spreader of the AMD FX6300 was cemented to the CPU cooler.  I got out a razor blade and carefully removed the excess thermal compound or should I say cement. Put the edge of the blade between the heat spreader of the CPU and of the heatsink at a corner.  I tapped the back side of the blade think the CPU came loose. Eureka the rest was child's play.  Got the cooler installed cleaned out the case and hooked it all back up.  Tonight he tried out some games he hasn't been able to play for a while and they worked great.  I can only assume that his CPU was overheating which was causing a number of problems.  

Here is a picture of his heatsink.  

This Wasn't Cooling Anything

I guess the point of this long story is that you should maintain the inside of your computer at least annually and sometimes all you need to do is a little spring cleaning.  This could have been expensive if his CPU burned up or if we replaced his system because we thought it was just shit hardware.
