Another Day Another Time #98

Hey all,

It'e been a while since I posted an ADAT entry. So I'm deciding to post another one :). I told you I'd be back :D.

Everything has been fine lately, just been looking around for my new PC parts trying to get the best deals and stuff. It's really hard to find the perfect setup and keep the price under $800 :P. I hope that prices go down once the Next-Generation stuff starts to come out (G70 and R520). It's mainly the CPU and Videocard that are holding me back. Everything else is pretty cheap especially RAM. I guess I'm going to have to wait a month and a half before I can make a solid decision.

School has been doing pretty good nothing bad is happening lately. I have just been trying to keep focused and getting all my work done in my main classes. I for sure am NOT going to take Electronics 9/10/11 next year...it's way too tedious. I have the same teacher for 2 classes...and it's NOT fun. I'm pretty much average in all my classes to which I'm not too proud of...I've just been really busy.

Gaming wise, everything has been pretty much the same. I played Forza Motorsports and I'll be posting up a new review of it some time later this week. I've been playing Halo 2 a lot lately and I'm getting back into Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. I'm going to start some ranked games in SPCT multiplayer soon too...I want to get past level 1 :P. In Halo 2 I'm -

  • Level 23 in Team Slayer
  • Level 11 in Head to Head
  • Level 13 in Rumble Pit
  • Level 2 in Big Team Battle
  • Level 9 in Team Skirmish
  • Level 16 in Team Preview
  • Level 21 in Double Team

Other then that I'm just waiting for my new rig and to play Half Life 2. See you all later!

P.S. Bender you're going down.

New Sig!

Hey all!

I made my first sig!!!

I used a template made by Sentinelrv from the HCU and I customized it :). I think it looks amazing! I like it :D. What do you guys think?

Another Day Another Time #97

Hey all!

Just finished a Science test today...my brain is totally fried. But I think I did pretty well at it. Plus I got alot of work done in English today.

I'll be getting my computer by the end of the month. I've decided to go with a 64-bit processor so my setup is going to be different then what I posted previously.

Here is a good idea...why don't I make a comic strip dedicated to my journal entries. That way my journal entries will be more fun to read! When I get my new computer I can make a comic using the Half Life 2 Source Engine with Garry's Mod. What do you guys think?

I don't know what I'll be doing this weekend...possibly nothing at all. So yeah, I'll see you all later and we'll have to wait and see what I'll do this weekend! Peace!

Another Day Another Time #96

Hey all,

I recently just listened to some of the *NEW* System of a Down album, which I LOVE. It is SO good! I especially like the song "BYOB". It is pretty interesting...I guess it shows off my hard rock side :P. I also listened to some of the new White Stripes music, which is also pretty good.

School was okay today. In Science we did a Lab on Acids and Bases. It was quite easy but you had to be VERY accurate with the chemicals because apparently they are "dangerous" and very "reactive"...Yeah right :P.

I skateboarded alot today, at lunch break and at my friend's house, but I didn't do that great anyways.

I've gotten ALOT of criticism over my current configuration for my next rig...but I don't want to change my settings because then I won't get a 6600GT which is apparently a really good videocard.

Oh well I'll PROBABLY get it anyways, since technology in the Philippines is apparently VERY GOOD and VERY CHEAP. Argh...this is so hard.

Well I'm gonna go now! See ya later! (No Fave Comic Today)

Another Day Another Time #95

Hey all,

5 journal entries away from 100!!! Let's keep this going everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been working really hard on getting the right prices for my computer and such, it's been quite a struggle surprisingly! I'm so picky with what parts I should get! Here is what I'm getting -

AMD Athlon XP 2600 (Barton) Skt 462 $124.98 $124.98
Samsung 400MHz 512MB PC3200 DDR DIMM $49.98 $49.98
MSI 8989 NX6600GT-VTD128 128MB VIVO AGP8x $255.98 $255.98
Thermaltake 420W PSU 20/24-pin ATX 2.0 $58.98 $58.98
Asus Athlon A7V8X-X $59.98 $59.98

Subtotal: $549.90

I'm not going to go with 64-bit yet because I can always get that stuff in the Philippines so I'm not worried.

School has been a pain the *** lately because I have to catch up on SO much work...it's not even funny. But atleast I'm not failing anything! I'm just thankful for that! In Science 9 we're doing "Word Balancing Equations" which is INCREDIBLY hard. So hard that our own teacher is struggling to explain to us how to do it! No joke! It's so funny though. And in English 9 I have some projects due and a some small assignments that aren't that big of a deal.

I've decided that Dayna is just not for me, and I am just going to move on. Is it normal for a girl to say she misses you and wants to see but NEVER calls you, and doesn't reply to your emails? Yeah that's what I thought. I think I'll just let her be...she missed out on something good.

Well it's almost dinner time but I'm going to start doing this thing where I'll post my favorite comic and you can all read it. It's from www.phwcomics.com and they are absolutely amazing. They are made with the Source engine from HL2 and created with Garry's Mod www.garry.tv (click on Garry's Mod for Half Life 2). I'm also creating a Comic Series for the HCU and I'm fairly well known in the HCU now because I've getting to know everyone there. I love the HCU simply because of their dedication to one of the greatest games ever created, Half Life 2.

Here is my favorite comic for today - Brought to you by PHWComics.com - Click Here!

Well I best be off now because I have to go eat dinner. I'll start posting regularly (I promise this time). Peace.

Another Day Another TIme #94

Hey all,

Sorry I have been just coming back and leaving over and over again. I'll try and keep a steady posting of my journal entries.

I'll start posting in my Union again too since I'm back and I'll be trying to help our Union's level and whatnot. Not alot of people visit the boards and it's kind of slowing down now.

I think I'm almost failing most of my subjects in school now that I had to miss alot of school and yeah...I've been thinking about my move to the Philippines and what not...it's just so crazy that this is happening! But nonetheless I'm excited for what the future has to bring and I hope that only the best comes to my Mom and I since it's us that are moving the Philippines.

My ex-girlfriend talked to me last night and I was quite shocked to see her username blinking at the bottom of my taskbar on my PC. She told me she missed me and that she loved me. Apparently she was never over me in the first place and we could be getting back together but I'm not even sure about that yet. I do miss her alot though. Love makes you do crazy things.

Anyways, I'm gonna go now! Peace all.

Another Day Another Time #93

Hey all,

Just sitting at the computer and on the forums. Decided to update my journal to let you all what's up with me.

My friend Ryan and I beat Doom 3 on Xbox Live and yeah that game was so scary :shock:. It was pretty fun...but pretty short.

Still trying to find the best parts for the best price for my computer because I seriously want a new computer.

Well I'll update this later. Peace.

Another Day Another Time #92

Hey all, Well as you all know I have been having a computer buying predicament for a long time now...and well...I think I finally found the place I'm going to get it. Since I heard that I might have to mod my Xbox/PS2 just to play games over in the Philippines I think I'm just going to game on my computer online and keep in touch with my friends/family. I know it sucks but I don't have a choice. Sorry guys.||| Well anyways, I played some more Splinter Cell CT last night and man was it good. It never fails to please me online and off. I played some 2v2 with my cousin and we versed so many people that would quit just because we would absolutely destroy them. ShadeZero and I have become so good at the game. The intensity of having a mercenary walk RIGHT beside you and not see you but is like 2 feet away is like the most incredible feeling ever. I couldn't move the slightest bit or I'd alert him :P.||| I watched the E3 Demonstration of the new engine from Unreal in action (Unreal Engine 3.0). It was AMAZING. OMG. You have to see it for yourself. I was so shocked to see what it could do. It is the DEFINITION of Next-Gen Gaming. See it and you'll be amazed.||| Well I'm gonna get out of here. See you all later! Peace.| Kevin | RunAwayChickenX | No.64167317
