So I finally get the new computer that I've been saving up forever for, and not only that but I ended up getting way more stuff than I expected. I was able to get a Quad Core proc instead of a dual core, 750 watt power supply instead of 500, and an awesome case that is way nicer than the one I was originally going with. Then my parents went out and got me a 22" widescreen HD moniter and Guitar Hero 3 finally comes out, and I get it the day it comes out. Sounds like life doesn't get much better eh?

Then it happened. I got home to play GH3 on my 360 and lo and behold, the Red Ring of Death. I couldn't turn it on at all, it just went straight to it. I'd been waiting soooo long to play it and the minute I get home my 360 craps out. This could possibly have been timed worse, too, because Mass Effect (my most anticipated game of the year, or ever until KotOR3), CoD4, the Orange Box, and Assassin's Creed were coming out right when I my 360 is being repaired.But Ihad Crysis to look forward to, right? Wrong, it got delayed a week ago until mid November.

A few weeks later I'm feeling a little bit better, but its still pretty mixed. Crysis has come out and it has rocked my socks off, but I (along with everyone else) can't play it at Very High at the native resolution of 1680x1250 resolution on my 22" moniter. I got Super Mario Galaxy for my Wii, expecting it to be mediocre and finding it to be the most amazing platformer I've ever played. I still don't have a 360. My friends are flying ahead of me in rank in Halo 3. I got to play Guitar Hero 3 for a few tantalizing hours when I had my friend bring his 360 over, but now I want to play even more. And worst of all, I CANT F*CKING PLAY MASS EFFECT!!! I've been staring at every screenshot and video of it for the past year and now my firends will have beat it before I get to touch it. I also cant play Assassin's Creed, though I'm still awaiting my best friend's approval before getting it (it got mixed reviews and I'm running very low on cash).
