Thats something i didn't think i'd ever say, but i like a golf game.

Previously i always gave them an "eh" yet still enjoyed the numerous demo's that i tried, but this time, whilst playing the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 demo, something finally hooked me in, and i bought the damn game the next day without hesitation.

So what grabbed me? im not even entirely sure but damn its addictive and fun, and i'll admit it, im in it pretty much for the courses, i've always liked golf courses, but never liked golf. This game has a mad amount of courses and holes yo. Best part, since i havent played a Tiger Woods game properly before, all the courses are new to me, to fans, only 5 are new, so i win!

So to golf game fans, i get it now.


On a side note, i have a few drawings of Ryan and Jeff, from the screen to paper...to screen, but i'll upload them at a later date.

This post relates to: Left 4 Dead

I thought i might as well give my thoughts on the L4D demo, instead of say to myself, "i'll do it later"

But i'll keep this as short and sweet as i possibly can because for the people who really know me, i never shut up, so here it goes...

ZOMFG!!

You see what i did there? anyway, popular internet phrases aside, i fucking love Left 4 Dead, and not that i thought i wouldnt be impressed, because i really liked the concept of the game years back, i remember when the characters, 2 in particular, looked really different, and my memory doesnt serve me well here, but i remember them looking even more different, i could be wrong.

The thing i love it the most? i've never felt more convinced by Zombies in a video game, motion capture goes hell of a long way for crossing the uncanny valley, it feels almost real, and with the, somewhat annoyingly termed "AI Director" changing the game around each time you play, its extremely addictive, can't count how many times i've played the demo...on the PC

Im still kinda a PC fanboy jerk, so, forgive me, but ever since my new powerhouse of a PC i've gone back to PC gaming, my old PC sucked so hard, following the PC bandwagon was difficult.

Plus, call me crazy, but i've stuck to playing it on singleplayer...reason being is because i like to go at it at my own pace, with other random dudes i imagine it would ruin the pacing, plus you never know what nobheads you'll meet, Unless they are my buds...i dont have any of those so im kinda screwed. Then again, i've never liked multiplayer unless its Counter Strike...hmmm, see the contradictory connection?

SO! overall i love it, its not perfect, but i love it, and the best part, it doesnt "scare" me like survival horror games might, its nice to have a horror first person shooter that doesnt quite play like a typical horror game, plus i love me some zombie apocalypse, i know one Rich Gallup probably wouldn't feel the same way.

Damn, that was not short and sweet....if you've made it this far...Good Job!!!! have some complimentary Will Smith.

Ohhhh Yeah!!

Just thought i'd let you know to those of you who might care, i got a new PC finally after having to wait a month for a Dell XPS only to have it cancelled by Dell Themselves.

So yeah, New PC, Lets see how long this lasts...its a HP Pavillion Elite M9280 *crowd goes "Ooooh"*

Im Currently enjoying Crysis, well, mostly, it runs on medium/high settings farily well but im still suffering from some pop-up, which is expected and unavoidable, but i should be thankfull it runs at a fairly good framerate. World in Conflict runs awesome on high, and any old game that vista actually likes, runs like a charm of course.

Im Also playing Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2006 for the PC....Now hold on, i dont take pleasure in shooting virtual animals, well the inteligent ones, But i do like the outdoors and after playing Big Game Hunter 2008 (which is...OK, except for the part where animals run left right and center across the map, begging for a skull fuck with the most American rifles by the most red neck dude you'll ever come across) 2006 is a much beter game yet still, too fucking linear!

I wont go into why its so annoyingly linear.

Oh and i purchased SoulCalibur IV last friday, Big mistakes made in that game...

Im going to keep this short because im pretty damn furious.

Over 4 weeks ago i ordered a new PC from Dell because my old one died, it was a Dell XPS...

It was supposed to take 10 working days....cool

Then i got an e-mail saying it would take 15 working days... ok

But then on the 15th working day i got Another e-mail, saying its been pushed back another 2 weeks (August 4th) due to popularity....What!? why not tell me fucking sooner!?

And Now August 1st ANOTHER FUCKING E-MAIL! saying its been pushed back to August 20th....OK i can wait one more time...

BUT....few minutes later, Order is cancelled due to lack of the speakers i asked for.....WHAT!?

Dell are disgusting people

PC World then?

EDIT: persuing HP Elite
