oh yeah , i got a new PC finally :). earlier i had planned to buy a new pc around far cry 2 s release date . but the fact that Half-life 2 Episode 2 is now out and the Next Big Thing - Crysis is just weeks away from release . i thought it was the right time to pick up a new PC . my old PC was good , but not that good to handle games that are going to be released like Crysis , Hell Gate London and Gears of War . and now i am glad that i didnt waited till 2008 for a new PC :wink:.
My PC Specs are
AMD 4800 X 2 dual core processor . Asus M2 NE -Sli board . XFX Gforce 8600 GT 256 GPU , Transcend 667mhz 1GB X 2 Ram . 250 GB Sata HDD . Zebronics Gaming Cabinet with led lights . 550 watt SMPS. Logitech X-530 5.1 Speakers . Logitech Wireless Mouse Keyboard .
i didnt bought a new monitor . i have currently A 19 inch Samsung 997DF crtMonitor & a samsung 26 HDTV . but i ll be getting a new 19 inch monitor later when crysis is out . i came very close to get a 8800 GTS 320 GPU , but since i ll be getting a Quad Core PC next year with a 8800 ULTRA GPUand the fact that my pocket was almost empty after getting all of this , i decided to get a 8600 GT for now
. i also got Lost Planet bundled with my new GPU.
My history with Half-life 2 was a real long long story back in the day :P. i played it after15 monthsfrom its release after getting a new pc that time . it was worth it then , and its worth it now again :wink:
Episode 2 aint the only reason i bought a new pc . i am a big fan of the Half-life Series .its my favourite PC game of all times ,infact it was my very first game after 5 years of break from gaming .it is like what Halo is for me on the Xbox and God of War on the PS2 .i could have also picked up the 360 version of orange box and enjoy it on my 360 ( which i will do 4 sure later :P ) . but since i ve played all the previous halflife games on PC , i decided to play this first on pc then later on my 360 :wink:. my old pc was also able to handle it , but with some turned off effects , and when it comes to the half-life name, i compromise on nothing . the other reason is The Next Big Thing or should i say the best yet in PC gaming :wink:

Ever since i watched the footage from crysis , i ve been waiting to get my hands on this Next Big Thing , and now that i ve a new pc , i ll be able to enjoy it 4 sure . i may not be able to play in the highest settings , but still i ll be able to enjoy it in medium settings . i hope so :) .i ll be getting Gears of War , Quake Wars and Clive Barkers Jericho next week for my new pc .its so good to be back with some hardcore fps action on PC after almost a year . i am comfortable with both , a mouse and keyboard and the xbox 360 &Sixaxis controller . i like fps on both consoles and pc . but on pc its a lot better when you ve got some games like The Orange Box , Unreal Tournament 3 , Crysis , Quake wars and a lot more .
i still dont have a high speed internet access yet:( . its been 3 weeks that i played on xbl & psn . dam........ i miss Halo 3 , gears , warhawk :cry:. i miss my online buddies alot . i didnt even blogged for almost 15 days . i think this time has been the most frustated time 4 me in years . i picked up a ton of games in the past like bioshock , heavenly sword , age of empires 3 , stalker , world in conflict . but hardly enjoyed any of it . i havent even touched my ps3 and 360 all week . last week i played some Forza 2 . but in the end , i stopped playing that too .without xbl and psn . i dont want to play any of them :( . i got dam frustated that i even thought of leaving gaming and gamespot , which will never happen :lol: never ever :P. thing is the more you stay away from gamespot , blogging, friends and gaming , the more frustated you ll get in the end:wink:. but now that i am back 4 good , i am felling a hell lot better :) . i hope that my new internet connection gets activated soon .
and now that i ve got a nice freakin PC, i am starting to enjoy gaming a lot especially with the Orange Box and Stalker . orange box is a must buy whether you have a pc or 360 :wink: . i was a pc gamer only years back , then i got into console gaming and handheld gaming along with pc gaming . but the past year i didnt enjoyed pc gaming that much coz i played my Xbox 360 to death . i dont think that i even did pc gaming that much like i did on the 360 & ps2 . i had an awesome time with console and pc gaming all these years . and now that i ve got a new pc and almost every current gen console . i can expect some serious fun in gaming at an all time high :). i prefer both pc and console gaming . bottom line is this . if you are really passionate about gaming and gaming is your life in manny freakin ways :P. then you definately need to get a PC, a Xbox 360 , a PS3 , a Wii , a DS and PSP to enjoy all the gaming worlds:wink: . you cant go wrong with any of the gaming platforms . all have got something gr8 about them .
in other news my Halo 3 legendary edition Box is on its way , i ll be getting it by next week 4 sure :wink: . i payed almost 240 $ U.S for it . which means no Wii 4 me this year :( . but anyways i ll be getting a Wii this year coz my cousin is giving his Wii to Mii for a couple of months to enjoy or untill i get my own Wii :lol:. cant wait to play Zelda Twilight Princess & Resident Evil 4 :oops:
now that i am back , i ll be visiting all your blogs 4 sure :wink: . i hope all of my buddies here are having a rocking gaming time , have fun guys , i ll catch ya all in my next blog and ofcourse in your blogs :P
