i cant really say that i have enjoyed it. Not because i haven't done anything special, but i haven't been on Gamespot that much, when our vacation starts. I spent two weeks playing games on that days cause im getting bored. Remember my previous blog about "I Can't open Gamespot". Ok, enough for that now. Next Tuesday will be the start of our next Sem, oh guys, i can't wait for christmas? I wonder what gifts will i be receiving? hehehe!
Anyway, i've decided to make a header for my profile yesterday and here it is.

It might be a little boastful and dont mind it guys
I think i just need some attention when i am doing this ![]()
Upgrade (In) Complete

Any PC enthusiast of the last ten years or so knows that with every upgrade or makeover of his system comes-at the very least-a quiet consideration for games. The equation is quite simple: more powerful PC equals better-looking games. Following this proposition, PC gaming can be ruthlessly expensive. But the true-blue PC gamer understands this conceit and is willing to live by its dictates. Detractors will just have to keep their mouths shut, thank you very much. Flashback to 1993. The SNES was king and the Playstation was still a year away. Games are being peddled in diskettes. VGA monitors and novelties. A friend drops by to install a soundcard on my PC and it just blew me away. The standard synth fare of Carmen San Diego suddenly padded with audible voice and sonorous music? How cool is that? I had lots of good times with my 286 AT system. Hours on end of Dune 2, Civilization,Eye of the Beholder,Prince of Persia,to name a few. Plus complete mastery of Word Perfect, for the occasional distractions of writing. I never really got going when using the old MS Word and that pesky paragraph symbol. But PC systems are not gamers'lifelong friends. All it takes is a couple of new catch phrases like "math co-processor" or a 1 gigabyte HD," plus a few "high-end" games that won't even recognize your system of a down. I remember saving up for a 386DX machine simply because i wanted to play Eye of the Beholder II and X-Wing. Then there was that pentium 100 and my little big adventures with Frederic Raynal's industry forerunner, the pre-3D game Relentless and its kick-ass muppet-cute hero, Twinsen. My upgraded Pentium were mainly the realm of the Diablo, WarCraft, and other Blizzard staples. Then came the 3D cards. The gaming restlessness just wouldn't be contained. The next wave had come, and it was all the rage. A 3dfx Voodoo graphics card was a must-have for any gamer (nVidia was but a footnote in the video card industry back then, working on pixels in the shadows). Who in his right gaming mind wouldn't want to try out the new game called Half-Life, anyway? It's interesting to think that the recent release of Half -Life 2 is exactly why my PC system is looking more lifeless nowadays. And it's not even just because of the overstaying video card. The same principle applies to all the other parts the beloved Frankenstein monster that is our gaming PC. Pardon the oxymoron, but the PC gamers cannot afford having wimpy systems. Big memory, big hard drives, the latest processors, the newest graphics, wicked add-ons--we want them all. The constant upgrades definitely make PC gaming more and more impractical. Console gaming seem to be the logical answer to this, and many will agree. But the bottom line is, the PC will continue to set standard by which gaming is defined. Even the promise of upcoming PC-like consoles will not match the "open-mindedness" of the PC, graphics-wise in particular. The PC will remain the playground of developers and the birthplace of games. The funny thing is, the seemingly endless upgrades demanded by the PC is largely what's appealing about PC gaming. This games need only check a decade-long history of personal computer makeovers to realize why he still cannot say, well, game over. Instead, as our favorite Orc peons from WarCraft would say, "upgrade complete."
