PC 360 and PS3 oh and Wii (It's a rant)

Weedamando or whatever their name is got me thinking about PCs and Consoles. First of all getting a system to play a game that just came out within 4 months of the date you plan to buy your computer and or the parts is absolute absurdity. If you want to play a game wait at least 6 months and then get a computer that can run the game as well as you want it to run. Consoles of course shouldn't have that problem except when consoles run into hard drive. For the Wii and 360 especially if you get just a regular 360 and you want a serious collection of games and their save files to have on it then it is going to cost you to get more memory. Any relatively new computer that comes out now has enough hard drive to run at least 50 games and still have plenty of space for other files and more games. Everyone I know who owns a computer already pays for an Internet connection. Why because of the bundle pack that came with TV, telephone service, and Internet all for whatever for the first month. Or just because they text too much and typing is easier so they do instant messaging or so that they can have email. Xbox Live is not so. I do have to congratulate the Wii and PS3 for either non-monthly Internet (besides your regular one for the Wii) or free Internet service altogether. The Wii has inevitably failed my expectations as a console. You finally have the chance to bring motion senses to play in any manner of game and you waste it on Tennis and Exercise. The Wiimote has so few buttons it requires an upgrade just so you have a control stick and 2 more index finger buttons. While the PS3 I have mainly ignored because I don't have one and I don't plan too because it is the middle. Also because all of the games that I want are on both PS3 and the 360 so I can't say much about the PS3 and I apologize for leaving it out of my rant. Sins of a Solar Empire. One of the best PC RTS games on the market at this time perhaps THE best. I think the PC has much more potential when all consoles have to conform to whatever they put in the first one of that model they make. Buying a 360 game now has to work on a graphics card created what 2 years ago? I really am tired right now so if there is a game you like and it is on PC wait 6-12 months to get a more affordable computer that can run the game without having to get another upgrade. Also if you want a gaming computer it can't be a Mac.

Sins of a Solar Empire

Oh my god. This game is amazing. Graphics are wonderful. It has achievements to make you feel good about yourself. It has only a small selection of ships for each Faction which means the game is all about strategy. It allows you to save your game whenever you want to so the hours you spend on it can be split into maybe 15 minute sessions where you get something done and you don't have to wait for 1 or 2 minute load times where it wouldn't be worth it to play for only 10 minutes or so. However when you start a game the start time can take some time but other then that it works pretty well on all different types of pcs from low end graphics and RAM to high end computers. The people who complain about it are people who wanted a Civilization 5 or people who just aren't strategy gamers. I bought it last Sunday and have been playing it quite a lot and now my dad is hooked on the game as well. It is wonderful that you can play LAN without having to buy a second disk. Thank you Stardock.

Bioshock and TF2

I have bought Bioshock and Team Fortress 2 recently and I think they are both great games. Team Fortress 2 has Pixarish characters with guns and every game can make you laugh. Bioshock is pretty weird. The concept and plot are really good.I haven't finished it but the main problem I get is that all the enemies are generally alike except for the Big Daddies or Big Daddys I don't know which is correct.

World in Conflict

Now at 2200 for INF. I am working on it. I changed my avatar to my new pumpkin. So that was fun. It has a hat of fire.

Top 5000

I reached my goal today of being in the top 5000 Infantry players on WIC. I am now somewhere around 3400 and I am trying to get in the top 1000 as my next goal. Who knows how long it will take. I am determined to be a good Inf. player.

guess I should start a blog

I got annoyed at the empty blog space so here i go. I recently have been playing a lot worldin conflict. I played in the tournament and we lost horribly. I played as infantry and got run over by tanks. I finished the WIC campaign. It had some interesting points but the multiplayer has a lot more to be gained from it.
