Follow up on the horrible Computer incident.



So, after the previous story, we installed a new fan in my thankfully working computer. We go to plug in an HDMI cable into my capture card, and flames shoot out, I unplug the cord and we discover my computer has not only fried my capture card, but also the HDMI cable, and a port on my HDTV.



At this point, the computer is unsafe. We have removed the hard drives and installed them in a backup computer, which should have enough power to allow me to finish the editing on the Zeldathon intro, and XSplit assets.



A friend is going to be bringing her rig temporarily for Zeldathon to use the duration of the marathon.



After this however, I will be going to AGDQ, then returning to a dead main computer. Not sure what if/can be salvaged at this point, as my graphics card got hit with the fire, so it may be time to get a whole new computer, which there is no way in the world I can afford, so uh... I don't even know what will happen. Guess I will be stuck on backup computer then.



Really a bad night, and I am now scared of the entire electrical wiring in my house, have to call the Landlord tomorrow, as he is an electrician and hopefully doesn't mind taking some time off from his holidays to fix us.



I don't know. Zeldathon will go on, but I can't produce any videos until January 13-15th at the very least when I can get things properly organized on this computer. I am really sorry about this guys. I am in a tough spot and I am really tired and wow... just a horrible day. Horrible. I am really sad, and I feel like I am disappointing you, but alas, the marathon goes on.
