Well, Im back on gamespot. Truth be told, this is due to the current influx of high-quality titles being released, and of course the one im looking forward to most is Skyrim! UGHN cant even say the name without dying a little inside! :D

I know its been a while since my last blog post, but something happened to me this week that i felt was worthy of a blog post.

I FINALLY GOT A PLAYSTATION 3

*waits for the 'woots' and 'hollas' to subside*

And its plugged in to my surround sound system and 26" plasma screen in my sitting room, oh, the sublime beauty of it all...its almost to much... TOO MUCH!!! And what a better time , the week of E3 when i can see what tantilising things are in store for the system, in the mean time i spend my days shortening the online lives of people in Resistance and laughing at the ragdoll bails of my created skater in tony hawks. Brilliance personified in such a sleek and sexy package. Sure it cost mea months salary, 8 weeks of allowance and a quarter of my nestegg... but man, oh man, i have never been soo happy with a purchase in my life!

A few days ago my familly had to buy a computer, since we moved to a new country and didnt have one, so i decided heck! why not get a gaming one, it should stave my lust for gaming goodness until the ps3 arrives. So i got one and its brilliant. here are the specs and i am damn proud of them.

AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800

ASUS M2N32-sli deluxe

Kingston RAM 1GBDDR2

Nvidia Geforce 7600gt XFX model

Seagate 160GB HDD with 3gb/s transfer rate

ahhhh...sweet satisfaction, later all! now i can review some pc games aswell!

well thats it. Months of anticipation, well was it worth it?

from my point of view it was, it most defintately was. It may not have been groundbreaking but it cleared alot of doubts and reinvigorated the spirits of the ps3 supporters, announced many, many excellent game titles..introduced more innovative ways to game and gave the japanese something to do on their day off :). It may have been over 231,000km away but i could taste the bitter sweetness of the next-generation.

BRING ON TGS07

OHO!

Much is made nowadays of the institution of war-the idea that conflict is neither a by-product of democracy's inability to offer new physical territories and resources, or simply an economy-boosting industry, but absolutely vital to any society. It's an obvious concept given the amount of workers involved in that particular sphere of commerce, and one that seems sensible considering the potential hike in unemployment should the defence industry ever suffer a collapse, forced or otherwise. This kind of attitude not only allows governments to, quite literally, get away with murder, but allows us to feel slightly at ease about the entire concept by giving us the opportunity to take a negative view on the act of war, whilst taking a neutral stance on the military institution. It's one of those happy mediums that's just the right side of palatable for the masses, but allows others to go about the businesses with the minimum of hassle from the public. Whilst capitalists argue that democracy and free market are the most effective promoters of peace- because war is bad for any other industry as it is good for defence- almost everyone else's opinion is inclined to agree that capitalism breeds conflict.

There is a little known theory floating around at the moment called " the broken window fallacy", named thus because of the comparison of war to petty vandalism. Think, if you will, of a shopkeeper. Sometime last night a drunken hooligan launches a brick through his gleaming shop window of his fine estate. It's easy to see the knock-on benefits from an economic point of view: the act of breaking this unfortunate's window facilitates the movement of currency  so vital to any economy, and extrapolated out, the absence of any bricks through any windows could cause the collapse of the entire glazing industry, making the mindless hoodlum more of a social benefactor than a thug. This idea falls down however, when you consider that the shopkeeper would otherwise have a perfectly serviceable window as well as the money required to replace it. Money he would have no doubt delivered to another part of the economy. In essence it's easy to see the economic benefits of minor vandalism, or indeed a major war, but ignore the simple fact that war costs. Not only lives, but economic stability. One in the eye perhaps, for those who cite economy boosting as a reason for war. So what do we do? what options do we have? what choices must we make? what necessities must we sacrifice?

What is the future of war?

Just bought half life 2 goty edition, its amazing ....but still not as good as i want it because it crashes everytime i save and i can only run it on medium with no water reflections or shadows...thanks to my crapalicious computer.
