My life a year and a half later..

It's been almost a year and a half (1year, 5 months to be exact) since my last blog post, haven't been giving Gamespot some proper time in a while so i decided to update my profile every once in a while rather than leaving it abandoned like that. So with out further ado, let's get this started.

I finally graduated with a bachelor's degree in accounting after four very hard years in college. Got my first job at a bank, and after a year of fast food and long hours of gaming on the couch, I've gained about 10 Kgs (That's about 22 pounds). But you're not here (whoever's reading this anyway) to know how a random person on the internet is doing with his life a year later now, aren't you? that's why I've decided to please all you tech fans with pictures of my new gadgets and hardware that i got over the course of the year, starting with:

EDIT (Right click, View Image to see full Image size)

My New Plasma TV:

Whoever said there's a slight difference between SD and HD can go get their eye's checked. God Of War III looks incredible on this 46" monster.

This make's the wait for March 16th even harder.

Next comes:

HTC Touch Pro 2 (Tilt 2):

Except for it's somewhat heavy weight, i really like this smart phone. Windows Mobile 6.5 is much better and faster than 6.1.

Video playback is great though I've been having some problem with the Youtube player ever since i updated to WM 6.5, sometimes the videos stutter and sometimes even stop altogether, I don't know if it's just me having this problem or not. I'll probably Google it but if anyone has any idea on how to fix this please let me know.

Nothing much to say here except for that this is probably the best QWERTY keyboard I've used on a smart phone ever.

Let's see, hmm....Ah yes, my new:

ATI Radeon XFX HD 5850:

With a complementary copy of Dirt 2. Great performance over all but i think my processor is bottle necking my new graphics card (currently using an Intel Quad Core Q6600 @ 2.4 Ghz, not overclocked, i know, i'm stupid). If you haven't figured it out already I'm kinda light on money to replace my processor at the moment so...yeah.

I'll post the Crysis pics later. And until then, I hope you've enjoyed my blog, whoever you are, I'll try to update my profile more often now. So until next time, never trust anything that bleeds for 4 days and doesn't die.

So i got warhawk.....

It's a pretty awesome game, had alot of fun shooting down other warhawks, it's a great game overall, except for the fact that ever since those booster packs came out most people stick to them.

I, for one, can't buy the booster pack since my credit card doesn't match the country or the address so i tried using something called entropay; a virtual visa card that i heard alot of people use it to buy stuff off the US store, but unfortunately for me by the time i heard about it, loaded it up with $20, and attempted to use it on PSN, the playstation network wasn't supported by it anymore:?.

Another thing that i heard was that the booster pack could be shared on multiple accounts, so for all you do gooders out there: If you're willing to trade the booster pack with something, say a 2 month WoW subscription, or anything of that sort feel free to PM me or leave me a comment.

Level 30 + New Gaming Rig

As usual it's been a long time since my last blog post, you probably figured by now that i'm not much of a blog person, but in celebration of my new gaming pc i'd like to share this great news with all of you here at GS. I saved up for like a year in order for me to buy this pc, here are the specs:

Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz

3070 MB RAM DDR2 800

Nvidia GeForce 8800GTS 320 MB

I know that the 8800 GT is out and is better than my current display card, but the thing is that i bought my card before the 8800 GT was out and then bought the rest of the computer after the release of the GT, Why you ask? I'll tell you later in my next blog post, it's a long story and i'm too lazy to type it now.

I got Crysis up and running on my new rig, It runs pretty smoothly on very high with a resolution of 1024x768, no AA, but it sometimes does slow down a little bit for a couple of secs when in a large fire fight, specially in the morning time (that's in-game morning time for all you stupid people out there lol jk), but its no big deal since it only drops down a couple of frame rates and jumps back up again.

In other news, YAAAAAY i'm lvl 30 W00t, i'm supposed to be 31 if it wasn't for all the modding i've been getting but watever.

P.S: I finally have a computer that i can put in my sig :D.

cheers.

I got suspended for a week.....

This was my first ever suspention here on gamespot, aperently i was suspended for flaming everybody at system wars ( i kinda got frustrated from all the bashing going around so i made a topic insulting most people in system wars), here's a pic i made while i was on suspention :D

Finally, after 3 years of waiting.........

First of all i'd like to say wooooooow its been a very long time since i posted anything on my profile, now that that's done, i proudly say that since yesterday 8:30 pm, i am a proud owner of a 60 Gig PS3!!!!! i still can't believe that i have one, its like a whole new era of gaming for me, although i did pay a HELL LOT to get one with a copy of R:FOM, but it was worth it :D. So far i'm pritty impressed with the machine, everything is just soo high tech if ya know what i mean, i really feel like i didn't put my money to waste. The only thing bad about the current situation is the lack of Metal Gear Solid 4 :P, i will post pictures of my setup soon, but don't expect much, i only have an SD tv so the HDTV has to wait a while :wink:

WoW......LVL 20!!!!!

Been a long time since my last blog entry, anyway, noth'n new with me, been really busy cuz of the exams but the good thing is that i'm gonna finnish tomorrow...YAAAAAAAAY, ohh and to keep it on topic, I'M FINALLY LVL 20!!!!... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY again...
