Well I said there was going to be a blog in the coming days and here it is. There is going to be some interesting stuff in here but first I want to start this with a question. I got 2000 MS points yesterday and I spent 1200 points on Battlefield 1943, and it's awesome, but now I have 800 points left over and I don't know what to spend it on. So here are the choices I have and I think I know what everyone's going to say:

• 'Splosion Man
• The Maw
• Rock Band songs
• Monkey Island

I could just get some more points but I'd prefer not to do that. Anyways, please help me solve this dilemma. I would've got Fallout 3 DLC but I won't be playing that for a while and I'm not even that far in it yet. Okay, now for the cool stuff. First, I got the new Microsoft Arc USB wireless mouse for my laptop because I'm sick of the touch pad. That's minor compared to what's next. In a few weeks, I will be getting this. It's the Alienware M17x gaming laptop. The only difference from what you see on the site is that instead of red lights they will be green. I'm not getting this just for gaming (although that's part of it) but I'm getting because on August 31st I start college and, as some of you may know, I will be going into become a level designer in the game industry. I want a gaming laptop to make sure it will have the right graphics. The specs that I want, and can afford, are these:

• Windows Vista Home Premium (already have) + Windows 7 upgrade coupon
• Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz (3MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
• Single NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M, 1GB (good enough I don't need the best)
• 17-inch WideUXGA 1920x1200 (1200p) (HD, baby!)
• 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1333MHz
• 1TB - 2x 500GB 7,200RPM - RAID 0
• Slot-Load Dual Layer Blu-ray Combo (BR-ROM, DVD+-RW, CD-RW) (I don't know, I might stick with DVD. But, it's Blu-Ray!)
• 4Yr Ltd Hardware Warranty, InHome Service after Remote Diagnosis
• World of Warcraft Preinstall Edition (gotta have WoW pre-installed. hey, it's free!)

So that's that. I know, you probably are going to say it's crappy or I could do better but this is what I can afford and this is what I want. I'm also getting a 1TB external hard drive to help back up everything. Anyways, please comment, I'd love to hear your feedback on this stuff.

Until next time, I'm done with Guitar Hero: Smash Hits.
