So ive been gone a while.Thats because it was college break and i have been working my ass off for money.
This was originally for an upgrade to my computer to notch it back up to gaming specs but thankfully i managed to strike a deal with a freind.He offered me to work decorating his new house he was about to relocate to for a month or so and he would make me a gaming rig.I jumped on it and after about a months of work or so i got my pc assembled.It was an englighteneing experience because i was sat in his warehouse where his company builds pc's to order and i learned way more than i thought i would, or could.I lifted teh specs off his company's website off the base system and added the alterations.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ 3.00GHz - Antec Nine Hundred
- Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro
- Asus M2N SLI Deluxe DDR2
-
- NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTB OC 512MB
- Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB 7200RPM SATA-II 32MB Cache HDD
- Pioneer 20x DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter
- Corsair TX 650W Power Supply
I also managed to bargain a 26" Samsung SM-2693HM 26" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black for about £150 (half price basically) as a token of gratitude, from him.
So yeah that prompted me to get back on steam, download TF2 and just go bugnuts with it.I still love how smooth and balanced the game is, theres nothing you cant beat if youre experinced and if the opposing player isnt playing well...and the counter system where everything is countered by something else is awesome.
Speaking of bugnuts, i bought spore.I bought it for £35, played all the way through to the space stage in a sitting and i have no desire to play it again.I dont find the space stage that interesting, seems kind of repetitive and i think that the creations you can make arent all that great.The DRM issue doesnt affect me because theres only a few games i hang onto and play long after release and there always installed, but i can see why people have issues with it.
Im getting into the site again.I just all and out stopped looking at teh site for a few weeks even while i wasnt working so hard because i thought that now the new car smell has gone, theres not that much there.But i think things are stepping up and will obviousley step up quickly so no worries anymore.
Now to look at all those blogs i missed.
