I'm Leaving GS!
And I thought it would be easy...
Ok since the PC building thing is all I can think about right now; I decided to hit the stores and look for a good graphics card. It was wierd that the strongest card in all these stores was nVidia GeForce 8500 GT except one store who had sth different, A nVidia GeForce 8600 GT. Okay, thats a good card for someone who don't want playing his game on 1600x1200 16AA 16AF turned on but wait... I asked the assisstant for its price and it was priced 250 U.S dollars! And I thought things will be cheaper here just because I bought my 360 cheap and found some original Wii games price 5000 iraqi dinars (which is 5 $). The only thing I can think of is what is the price of nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX or GT and GeForce 9800 GTX would be?
The PC building thing will be a lot harder than I though and it wouldn't come cheap too. Guess ordering stuf will be better than buying mid-range cards with a price of high-end ones.
I also noticed each day, new GS members join my union! I feel happy about that!! YAY!!
Wow...!
I haven't noticed it but my union (TX3N, which I ledt it for a while) is slowly growing (although we haven't got 30 or 20 yer
). I noticed couple of new members enlisted which is very cool and I thank them for accepting my invis (If i sent one! I dunno) and it is a strange thing that all of them are close to my age! Wow! This is cool!!! I see that the union and the members will work in harmony! YAY! ![]()
I also began to read the Windows Middle East magazine (which is a magazine provides infos about hardware, software, games and all related services) and found a review on the XFX GeForce 8800 GS Alpha Dog XXX Edition which got four stars out five in the arabic version.The FPS ranged from 15-40 in Company of Heroes anf World in Conflict. but they saud that the lowest res score was in WIC. note that this was played in high res. My question is can this card play games at high spec in 1024 by 768 with DX10? Like Crysis maybe? Keep in mind that it costs 250 $.
Updates of This Month...
Hello all! Long time no see homies! Many crazy things happened in the month; some of them were good and some of them were bad. I'd like to start with the school trip: in April 19th we had a school trip to somewhere on the Amedi road. The place was plane and with some trees. I went with my friends from the other class. We had lots fun although everyone brought all kinds of ciggaretes; it was fun. We made Tekka in teh evening and played some football and some cards. Overall we had lots of fun! I have the pictures and I will upload them later.
Also my 360 died again!! No surprise! When my scool gets over I'll fix it and there is a chance that my bro buys a ps3. I need thermal paste for the fix it so I was wrong about replacing da heatsinks (so sorry about that). And another wierd thing, my father bought another phone , the samsung d880 that can wield two sim cards so he gave his nokia n95 8gb to...my brother!!!! Can you believe it? my younger bro has a better mobile than mine!! anyway that is no problem.
And my pc news is plain crap!! My pc can't run games on full any more!! I bought Gears of War and had to decrease it to low specs. Same with Crysis. And I also bought Jericho because I missed first person horrores like F.E.A.R and I thought it would be the right choice for me. I also found nVidia 8500 with a stupid price: 90 bucks!! That is a total rip-off!! Anyway I'm looking for new pc hardware like motherboards, CPUs, GPUs and RAMs so I started reading PC magazine (Middle East version). So when I'm done with school I'll begin picking parts for a new upcoming pc (hopefully! since thing here are cheaper than their original prices, if you take that rip off out)
goodbye friends
Enjoying my last day of my holiday!
School is tomorrow! It sucks! I can't play 360! But wait! Let me update you my life achievements! I successfully modelled a pawn and a bishop of chess set! I learned how to create models by using the spline technique and add Lathe modifier to it then make it look the way I want. I hope I learned more in 3DMax because I want to make mods for Oblivion and The Witcher (My favourite PC RPG games).
If you noticed I wrote a review of Mass Effect. I gave it 9. Expect some errors and wierd stuff I said becuase I haven't wrote a review from a long time. I started a new character in Mass Effect, a Soldier. I completed Liara mission and brought the babe to my crew. I got Dog of War achievement too.
I also completed Into Hatch episode in Lost. Good game but the animation and the models just suck! and the game is kinda easy to me and I feel like electrician more than being a journalist.
Goodbye friends.
