my blog post is here!

Long time no update, I know. But anyway, I can say I finalized my computer, after almost a year.

I bought a computer with E6300, 1GB RAM and only an on board video card. Yup, I suffered for a long time because of that. No serious games until I got my hands on a 8800GTS 320MB, which allowed me to max out any game. DiRT, Company of Heroes, Quake 4, Half Life 2: EP1, Command & Conquer 3, F.E.A.R, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, World in Conflict (demo for now), Lost Planet, Caesar 4, S.T.A.L.K.E.Rwere all allowed to enter my computer and hard drive, after I crave them for so long. I must say I was dissapointed by most of these games, but I found the few I enjoy and I never complain I don't have anything to do (The Sims 2 and FIFA are my "last resort" games).

Anyway, 1GB of RAM is not enough, obviously enough. Now I bought another stick of 1GB, and my machine is complete. I'm really happy and satisfied now, having all this power right next to my feet. And now even better, brilliant games are being published and demos released in an amazing pace. I will soon get Bioshock, that though I never went with the 'hype', seems like an excellent game to play now. World in Conflict's demo is amazing, the multiplayer is great and I think I should get to RTSes again after not really paying attention to the genre after leaving Warcraft 3, over a year ago. And with all these, I even got an MP4 player and I put in it a lot of gaming videos. I couldn't think of anything else yet.

Yes, it's a golden time. The prime time of gaming. The combination of summer vacation, great computer and great games is fantastic. It makes even the worst shows of FC Barcelona look good. I wish it would never end.

awesome!

Sigh, my personal-PC (heh) died 3 weeks ago. I'm totally game-less, wandering between my lil sister's computer and my dad's mobile computer.

But I haven't touched a single game for 3 weeks, and I'm getting really pissed.

Oh let me tell the story first.

It was whileI was playing FIFA, Barca vs RMadrid in manager mode, I'm playing barca. The game started, and a couple of minutes in game the computer simply shut-down, having the "no video" sign on the screen. Afetr a few secs later, it started beeping.

That was every time I tried to turn the comp on.
So a couple of guys said my mobo is dead, and I need to replace it. Now that's a more frustrating problem. My mobo was old so I had two options: Replace with old mobo, but waste the money or add a LITTLE bit more and get a better mobo. But I can't use a better mobo cause I have P4 CPU and AGP based GPU... so I need to repalce these too.
I don't have much free time, and nor do I have expereience in building a new computer. So I'm pretty much stuck till I drag my dad to a hardware store... cause otherwise, I can't do nothing.

We've been researching a bit, but it's had to find the best combination (CPU+matching mobo+beign not expensive). I've been aiming at a dual-core CPU, E6400E6300 specifically, but they aren't cheap around here... and of course a compatible mother board+2xDDR2 memoy sticks to go with.

Not to mention giving up on my AGP gpu cause new mobos don't have AGP slots -.-

Hurray!!

woot woot Come on I want to be friends with all gamespot here Keep adding me.. I love meeting new guys and all.

Hey, making it to level 8 gives me such a good feeling but I miss being a Sectoid already

I have also decided to not write the second part of "Life suucks" cause I'm too lazy to remember what happened, but it was awful, believe me.
