 That's right, folks. I have beaten this masterpiece and here are my words to you:
 
Play it. Buy it. Upgrade your PC for it. Now. This is seriously a game that shouldn't be missed by any means necessary.
 
That is all.

 It's just the case, but you get the idea.
 It's just the case, but you get the idea.
My Mother's work friend (him being a PC tech guy) visited our house so he can fix my Mother's laptop for reasons in no need for explanation. He took a rest from the fixing process and wandered around our house with peaceful permission. He went into my room just to see my (past) PC that he oh-so built back in 2003/04. He asked for my PC's status. I responded with an A-OK. His response: "Does anything need an upgrade?"
 
There most certainly was. My PC had a single-core, Pentium4 processor that is nearly impossible to buy , now that all computers--from business purposes to the like--had dual-core processor. So yes, the processor had to go. As for everything else, I was fine with it. I just had to get a better CPU.
 
"Alright, Tim. Give me the PC and I'll get it done!", The man said with cheerful glee.
 
As he built and upgraded, I traveled to LA to visit my Great Grandmother's funeral, for she ceased to live at 98. After embracing the sorrow and unbearable temperature of LA, I finally made it back to my home town, Fremont. By then, I forgot about the whole PC business. I finally remembered after witnessing my PC's nonexistence. So I waited for a day, and that's when the tech-guy-dude brought a giant box containing something way beyond my knowledge. But despite my dumbfoundedness, I was excited and happy at the same time.
 
Now, we all know what that box contained, so there is no need for blunt explanations. The topic that should be stated are the specs. And by all reason and logic, are they gawk worthy.
 
  • 2 Terabyte HDs (One being my original)
  •  Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
  • 4 GB of RAM
  •  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 (GeForce GTX 285)
  • LG LCD Monitor. 1920x1080 21''.
 
And better yet, I bought a VGA cord for my 360 and connected it to the back of my monitor. I can now play my 360 games at full 1080p. How freaking awesome is that? And despite the monitor and VGA cord, it was all free. Apparently, the tech-guy that my Mother's friends with won the lottery and had the ability to upgrade my PC just for the hell of it. Or heck, he wanted to give me an awesome gift. I give my thanks to him.
 
I hope I didn't make any of you lads and laddies jealous. Sometimes I regret having "cool, expensive" stuff, simply because it makes me look like a brat. But I seldom get things like this, so bear with me here. This was a once-in-a-lift-time thing, and it sure makes me happy.
 
Thanks for reading, folks. Have a great day.

Really. It is. 
Really. It is. 
I have played very few RPGs as a gamer. Most of them being utmost masterpieces, some being driveled messes.  I would consider The Witcher, while wonky in most of it's content, to be one of the best RPGs I've ever played. The reason is because of how the game's presented. The story doesn't drag on like most RPGs. It starts off with a quick intro for each chapter, then grabs you by the heart and squeezes it until your arteries go nuts. Every moment is hinted with dark foreshadowing, only to then express the true answer to the mysteries that are oh-so shown in confusing fashion. The answer is that being plot twists. And they're not just slow, minor twists. They're explosives ones.
 
If you're smart enough to know how to tell a story, you should, by knowledge, understand that a tale doesn't need twists to be good. And many games have disobeyed that and constantly created "shocking twists" just to make the player intrigued. While the previous paragraph stated that The Witcher is a twisted tale, it's more then just twists. It's the choices that Geralt, the main character, is given. There are no moral choices. There is no good or evil. It's just you, the world, the society, the races, and--if I forgot to mention, mind the joke: YOU. 
 
The world of The Witcher is surprisingly realistic, following a J.R. Tolkien-like world of dragons, magic, monsters, dwarves, elves, and those bastardy tallywhackers known as the humans. It contains gruesome violence, criminal underworlds, cussing, prostitutes, war, sex, and alcohol--things that you wouldn't expect from a folklore. It's a corrupted, if-not dreadful world of mind-boggling choices, most of them rash or easy.
 
While the story is presented in an outstanding fashion, it's not the main contribution that makes The Witcher so incredible. And explaining the rest of the game would make me go on-and-on much longer about the game's facets. Just buy it. Try out the demo if you're still  not interested. A game with such low sales and under appreciation is absolutely unacceptable to me. CDProjekt has proven to be a professional development team, and a charitable one at that. They released a free update for the game that completely recreates the character models, script, and animations. All being very wonky and goofy in the original version. If only development teams and their publishers were this generous.
 
If you have a snuff-enough PC that can run a game such as Half-Life2 and you're an RPG fan, buy the Witcher. Really, that's all I can say. I haven't even beaten the game, and I can already say that it's an epic win. It's very fun, satisfying, and hard to exit the program's screen.

I almost forgot about it, and it'd be sad if I did. But I did not forget about it, so let us all have happy faces on this unnecessary, boring, "who-gives-a-flying-crap?" birthday. Tru3 Blu3's one year anniversary in Jeff's greatest creation: the Giant Bomb!

That is all. Too lazy to make a large blog the size of the Deceleration of Independence (ironical, since I just did a mission in stealing that very document in Fallout3).

Fallout3 was my game of the year in 2008. It fixed many of the problems in Bethesda's highly addictive Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, and that's an achievements in itself, considering how massive Oblivion was. So pretty much, Fallout3 sucked me in, and I didn't want to pull myself out of its vortex.

Now, after hearing news about updates and patches for Fallout3, I became quite pleased. Bethesda would raise the level cap, give us DLC quests, and make the game much better then it already is--three gifts that were well promised. The first two gifts were accomplished with no circumstances. But the last gift? Plenty of circumstances. Plenty.

I haven't witnessed a single time when I played the game for more then thirty minutes without witnessing a single crash or texture problem (which causes crashes for
A bug in Fallout 3, folks. All in its glory.

some reason). Even quitting the fucking game crashes your PC! ... Oh, I forgot to mention: this is all related to the PC version. Quite obvious, considering it's, y'know, the PC. And I've spent all my points on two great DLCs and one shitty DLC that I just beat a few days ago--that being Operation Anchorage. I want to endure the lushness of this juicy content, but the bugs suck the juice out and destroy my chances in flavoring the flavor of the DLCs. It's a serious bummer, and a frustrating one at that.

But hey, it's Bethesda. It's quite natural for them to create massive, but buggy RPGs that are patched the living fuck out of, creating even more bugs while leaving behind the ones that are supposed to be fixed. I'm sorry, Bethesda, for making you angry. I know you guys love making unending games that are so massive, they could be MMOs. And you know what? That's why I love you, Bethesda. You take my life away with your phenomenal games. But you guys have the understand; massive goals or achievements are not easy, for they must be polished with great perfection. Take a few hints from GTA4, Bethesda, and you'll get the picture.

Hey, at least your guys's games' quest structure isn't as impossible to follow as GSC Game World's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
