On a more positive note, I have started watching the HD DVDs of Heroes and I have to admit that the first couple of episodes were pretty cool. I look forward to juggling the first and second season all at once. It ought to be fun. ;)
Also, I managed to get my hands on a copy of Bioshock on Friday. I have yet to play it, though I have had the opportunity, so I will talk more about that when I actually get a chance to play a while into it. I have played the demo and did like it, so I’m curious what the rest of the game will be like. Actually the most video gaming that I have been doing recently has been playing some Motorstorm with Dave and some Half-Life 1 & 2 with the occasional dabbling in the various expansions.
Lastly, I think, is that I finally got my PC working again. I got a dual-core AMD for my existing mobo. Turns out I popped my old one in the process of dusting my case. Turns out it’s not a good thing when you remove the CPU fan and the processor is stuck to the bottom of the heatsink and the CPU locking arm is still down. It’s not the best CPU out there, but it’s definitely good enough to run HL2, which is good enough for me. Well, running the Lost Coast expansion for HL2 was a bit choppy with it’s HDR lighting and all that. I still played it, though. I still need to get a power extension for my power supply to clean and level out the power to my SLI cards. Too bad Radio Shack is never open when I need them. Which reminds me that I need to go back to a 32-bit OS so I can play Silent Hunter III and maybe get a SH4 after I get paid. Maybe a 32-bit OS will actually see my dual-core as a dual-core. I’ll report more on that later as well.
I’m also thinking about getting a Gamefly account for those games that I want to play, but don’t want to buy. Renting is good, but you rarely have time to really get into the game. Especially with how little time I have and how I divert all my free time between school, work, favorite TV, homework, etc. Fifteen bucks a month for one game at a time seems like a fairly decent deal to me.
Ok. I’m done typing and am tired. I shall now continue my task of reading the Dune series. Which makes me want to watch the two SciFi miniseries I have on DVD (Dune and Children of Dune), but I must wait until I finish reading Dune Messiah and then read Children of Dune. Then I can watch them. Good books, I recommend reading at least the first book. We call it Dune.
Good night, all.
