Three weeks of let-downs is three weeks too many. I owe everyone an apology for doing stupid ♥♥♥♥ to my computer (or my connection) ahead of matches and then not being able to play in them as a consequence.

~ Two weeks ago, I ran out my monthly bandwith limit and (tried to) resort to a neighbour's unsecured, unreliable hotspot instead.

~ One week ago, I tried to run TF2 at max settings after my computer had been on for 72 straight hours. The cooling system threw a fit and turned off my graphics card.

~ Today, I somehow dislodged (then broke) one of the internal power cables connected to the motherboard. I've spent the last three-or-so hours figuring this out and solving the problem.

It feels *really* ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to launch Mumble each week, apologise for (and explain) what happened the previous week, then blunder into yet another preventable ♥♥♥♥-up just as the match starts. In the coming weeks, I vow to regain the team's trust and do what it takes to stop this ♥♥♥♥ from happening again.
