Hey guys!
I just wanted to hop on here and wish everyone a Happy Holiday! Hope the everyone gets what they want! I got a Sapphire 100314 SR Rsadeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP ready CrossfireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity.
No, I did not make that name up.
Basically, its an upgrade to my current HD 4850 video card. I actually got a 5700 originally, but it just wasn't powerful enough, so I dropped another $100 bucks and got the bigger one. I like to play my Crysis with High settings at 60 FPS, and apparently this card can do it. I am also asking for a faster HDD as well.
I am such a geek, and damn proud of it too.
I am a Senior in college now. I have 1 year left. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it scares the hell out of me. I have people around me that say I will be fine, and I know that I will, but leaving college and getting into the world of video game entertainment industry is a bit overwhelming at first. I hear that there is a game studio here in the Seattle area that is looking for game designers. It is a non-paying intern position, but it is something that can add to your resume, and portfolio. So I will be looking into that. I hear that the company gives all applicants a test, but the test is simple.
In my last blog I stated that I was in my grandmas basement. I was just kidding, I do not have a basement, and neither did my grandma. I was just using that as a ploy that I was spending a lot of time on my computer. Since I finished my finals, I have spent less and less time on the computer. You get tired of sitting in front of the thing after a while, especially when said while is ten weeks long. It is nice to get out and get "unplugged" every once in a while.
Okay, mini rant initiated. I am so sick of people complaining about taxes, then complain when the police, fire, school funding, and other needed programs get cut. GUESS WHAT PEOPLE, TAXES PAY FOR THOSE SERVICES! If you want the services, you gotta pay for them. The cost of said services goes up, just like everything else. So next time you complain about taxes, and vote no for tax hikes (here in Washington State, the hike was .003%, or something close to that) then I feel that you are not allowed to complain when state ran programs are cut.
**Glares at the radio**
Damn you talk radio, you throw me off topic with your rant creating stories and interviews!
Okay, end rant.
Going to the vacation house in Chelan for Christmas this year again. There is about 3 feet of snow there right now, and more should fall over the weekend, which is great since we are going Snowmobiling the following Monday. It was fun two years ago, and should be fun this time around.
Well, I guess I should be working since I am at work, so I will talk to you guys later.
