Alright, so if anyone knows anything about my gaming habits: it is I never play PC. I've pretty much been strictly a console gamer for my whole life. Well, yesterday I went out an bough a new PC that serves as upgrading my crappy laptop and functioning surprisingly well as a gaming rig. So, far I really only have Left 4 Dead 2. I picked up the Fallout Classic Collection but that was a while back. So, yea, I'm gonna try my hand at PC gaming.

So far, I actually really like it. The fact that the PC always offers the superior version of a game 9 times out of 10 was a really appealling to me. Everyone always talks about how much better mouse and keyboard is for control and I partially agree with that. When it comes to FPS or really any shooter, the mouse is superior in every way to an analog stick, no contest. But I find the keyboard to be harder to control then a controller. Mostly because every key on the keyboard feels the same, while on a controller the layout is very easy to remember and get used to. I'm sure the deal with the keyboard is just a matter of me having to get used to it. I did find myself getting more and more used to it as I was playing the Half Life 2 demo. Which BTW, I've pretty much done nothing but play demos, just giving the machine a test drive. I know HL2 is a 7 year old game by now but goddamn, it looks impressive on max settings. Speaking of Half Life 2, Valve was one of the reasons I felt like getting into to PC gaming. Steam is just amazing, what else could I say? The games on there are super cheap especially compared to their in stores, console counterparts AND they have constant deals going on. So once I have a means to buy things off Steam, many dollars will be spent.

I suppose now's the time I show off my PC specs, I didn't want anything too expensive but after taxes, it came to about $900 including a $140 monitor. Anways, here they are, it's an Acer Aspire M5910 BTW:

Intel Core i7 processor 860

8GB DDR3 memory

1.5TB hard drive(for all my sexay pr0nz:P)

DVD-Super Multi Drive

Blu-ray ROM drive

ATI Radeon HD5570 1024MB

That's what it says on the side of the case so, that's all I know :P If you can't tell, I'm kinda not all up on the super techy side of things. But what can I do, I'm a console gamer through and through. Which basically means I'll still likely do the majority of my gaming on my PS3 but maybe with certain multiplat releases I'll get the PC version. Of course, in the near future I'll have to upgrade the graphics card. Anyways, I'm off.
