Fresh Rebeginning

Four years ago, when I got my "college computer", as most college students did, but in my case, things didn't seem to go so well.

I broke 1 graphics card, 2 power supplies, went through 3 monitor's, 4 DVD burners, and among the 5 or so hardrives I had over the years, fucked up my partition and reformatted at least 20 times.

Times were rough, even when I went to my friend's house, I told them to keep digital shit away from me to prevent spontaneous combustion from my proximity.

After 2 years, I fucking had it, and bought almost everything anew. And I haven't swapped out a piece of hardware since.

Since now.

Few days ago I just stuck in a new graphics card to fire-up the impossible-to-render-at-maximum-settings game: Crysis.

Today, I finally decided to reformat my computer, well, technically, just boot up with another OS in a different drive.

I had forgotten how fucking fun it was to install all the crap we use on a day to day basis (read:sarcasm), that windows XP just so conveniently do not supply. what the hell does an operating system do, if you can't operate shit with it?

Over the years, it seems that Microsoft is trying harder and harder to defer the installation of their product without a Windows certification, things like service packs, updates, the nifty aplocale program(play Japanese games without rebooting), Windows Media Player, and even MSN messenger.

Although everything can be circumvented relatively easily with a quick online search for cached older versions, bypasses or cracks. It really does come in handy when you eventually get your hands on a real copy of Windows, which to date, I have not, ever...

I sure hope Vista is up to snuff to handle the next few years of its life cycle.


Speaking of Crysis, I've really been under the radar for the past months, I'l be updating more on my humble little gaming and anime paths of destruction. We'll see how this takes us.

My mentality on, and for, blogging has really changed, especially after graduation, and after not having to write a personal site, actually, it probably changed WHILE I spent all my efforts on UCSB's anime club website... well, I suppose those new guys really didn't catch up on how that stuff works... how unfortunate...

Anyway, right now, life is filling with, and has been filled with, a lot of time, before I finally landed a job offer, that time was incredibly guilt ridden, but now its just idle time. Really hasn't been wasted time however, with the incredible lineup of games this past 2 months that I got to spend with: Bioshock, Eternal Sonata, Ace Combat 6, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Crysis, the Orange Box, and I wasted a whole god damn week beating Puzzle Quest to the ground, now that was not fun, after I realized that reality had just swished by.

Well well, I suppose blogging skills can get mighty rusty too...
Till I write again.
