After months of waiting and trying to buy it I finally got the Wii.  While I was at work my dad waited in line early in the morning and got the last voucher to by the Wii.  Its a lot of fun.  Right now I'm playing Zelda and Wii Sports.  Lots of fun:)

Right now I'm mostly playing Final Fantasy XII.  I'm saving up to by the Nintendo Wii and then Xbox 360.  Then I may buy a better gaming computer to play all the high end video games coming out in the next 12-20 months.  I'm getting the Wii and xbox for different reasons.  I ruled out the PS3 for now since there aren't any appealing games right now or even in the works.  I would love to see more RTS and computer style games on console systems, and I would prefer to have a system that is standard where I do not have to worry about upgrades, system comflicts, patches, and figuring out all the system specs for each and every game I play.  Anyways... ...I'm looking forward to Halo Wars and that new command and conquer game (both RTS games on the xbox360).  I am also looking forward to spore, but it looks as though I will have to save up for a better system.  Damn I am sick of saving for computer systems.  It seems like as soon as I buy a system it goes out of date in six months!

I am going to buy a new computer within the next month or so, and I’m looking into my options.  I don’t know how to custom build computers myself so that isn’t an option, and I don’t want some piece of crap basic model that the typical computer stores sell.  They also don’t come with a very good video card 9 times out of 10.  I want to order one online so I can get the specs I need and well…can afford.  Right now I’m leaning towards Velocity Micro.

They seem to have at least one system on there that’s worthwhile and at around a thousand bucks give or take a few hundred.  I also browsed, Dell, Gateway, and Alienware.  Gateway and Alienware are too expensive, and Dell offers inferior video cards when compared to velocity micro.  You at least get a Geforce 7600 with a Velocity Micro PC.  With the other online companies you’re lucky to get a 6000 series.  The Dell ‘gaming’ computer or the XPS system comes with a Pentium, and Pentiums aren’t as good as Athlons for video game performance.  All around I think Velocity Micro is my best bet.  I’m going with the entry level gaming system because I can’t see myself spending more then 1500 bucks for my system.  I may upgrade the video card at a latter date.
