Finally, after a very long time, I've made a new banner for my profile. The new James Bond movie has got some pretty sweet posters so I stole one of them and popped my own head onto Daniel Craig's body. I also had to change the background because I didn't want "Quantum of Solace" to be all over my beautiful profile banner. Anyways, let me know what you think!

Yes!! Three months and I've finally slain the monster known as LEVEL 20! I guess it wasn't actually that bad, it just took a lot of time. Now I'm looking forward to advancing through the levels at a quicker pace.

Which brings me to the new PC portion of this blog. Its a HP m7680n with Media Center and two DVD drives (one writer and one reader). Now for some stats:

• -Intel Core Duo CPUs (2.13GHz each)
• -2GB of RAM
• -500GB Hard Drive
• -nVidia GeForce 7300 LE (not the greatest I know)

Along with a 22" Widescreen LCD moniter, games suddenly look amazing compared to my old computer which had integrated graphics (BLEH!) and a measly 512MB of memory. I've also found that many games which just wouldn't run on the old computer now work beautifully (not at max settings, but I'll take medium over nothing at all any day).

I love new computers!

In case you didn't know, Gamespot's Gamespace Banner Union is currently holding voting for their November/December Banner Contest. The three finalists are AdamStir, sgately869, and your's truly, GeneralGrievous. I know this must seem like a shameless attempt to grab votes, but I just want to encourage people to vote; not necessarily for me. Like any poll or election, the more votes that are cast the more accurate the results. So head over to the voting page here, look over the finalists, and vote for the one you deem best. Good luck to the other finalists, and may the best banner win.

Yes! I've finally reached Level 20! It sounds like I'm going to be stuck here for a while, so I'd better get used to being metallic and covered in gooey substances.

This is the first part of a video walkthrough of Beneath a Steel Sky. Considering how long this video is for just a small portion of the full game I probably will never finish videos for the whole game; but we'll see what happens.
