It was AT LEAST a half-hour. I walk into my room at 7:30 and to my surprise, the computer was performing an update on itself. It was 9% completed. It stayed 9% completed for a few minutes. "I can't even use the thing I bought when I want to!" I yelled. I figured while the stupid thing was updating that it would be a good time to play my Dreamcast. I wondered what game I should play. I picked out Mr. Driller. Takes me an average of several attempts and 16 or so minutes to clear the beginner stage. I keep getting squished by falling blocks and die of needing air. But I finally completed a stage. It said at the end that it took me 6 and a half minutes to do. (Just the current attempt, not all the times I restarted the game.) After that, I turned the Dreamcast off and looked at the computer. Still updating. So I put in the Next Tetris. Now I remember why I don't play this that often: I can't see anything because the screen is too dark. I turned up the contrast of my TV, and it didn't help that much. Fifteen minutes later, after a half-hour or so of waiting, I logged in. It said "Hi. We've updated your PC." "I noticed that," I replied angrily. "These updates help you in a world online." After its dumb speech, it got me to my desktop. It added Shop and Edge to my taskbar. So I deleted them from it. Then I went and entered this blog entry. But god, really, over a half-hour of updating seems a bit much to me. It's times like this I wish I got a Mac. But I fear some programs I use to program video games won't work on Mac, so I keep getting Windows.
