An Act of God

It would take an act of God to keep me off the internet.......................or my motherboard dieing on me.

The latter happened.


So the past, what, week? Two weeks? I've been computer-less and internet-less (sad face) but it hasn't been so bad.

Work has been keeping me busy, I'm now an Assistant Manager at one of the GAME stores in Melbourne. I picked up an Elite (shock horror!) played and clocked Halo 3 in one sitting and honestly don't see what all the fuss is about. Half Life 2 runs rings around any Halo game. So call me a PC person, it just works better.
Mass Effect is really spectacular though, and is a system seller for me.

My 360 isn't hooked up to Live yet because you gotta pay for that crap and for the wireless adapter. Not happy with the system, but hey, product knowledge and I get to write some of it off on tax.

On the PS3 I've been CoD4-ing, Judging some Eyes, Warhawking and I even got to play Assassins Creed at the Ubisoft Event in Melbourne last week.

At anyrate, I'll be ordering in a new motherboard in the next few weeks and probably in a month (I gotta recouperate my $700 loss on the 360) or so I'll just get a whole new PC that will have pretty much top of the line hardware, including Q6600, 8800GTX, 2GB RAM and XP.. Yeah, XP. Maybe I'll dual boot it for Vista, who knows. Or maybe by then MS will actually make it functional....doubt it.

In other news, me and my GF finally got accepted for a house to rent! We move out Dec 1st. Exciting!
