My Computer is a (Dead) Wizard

Soooo....

How about those computer things.

Alright, first things first, my new computer is really nice. Like top of the line nice. Once it starts working, it will be amazing, the fastest computer I've ever seen, top of the line gaming rig.

Unfortunately, I've had some um, minor setbacks. Namely, it powers on, but won't boot up.

But I've been making progress, and I can say with some confidence, that barring any more unforeseen setbacks it should be working by the end of week. (Note: Now that I've said that, it will take at least a month to get up and running.)

Unfortunately, my old computer is dead. As soon as we opened it up, the video card quit on us, the power supply said screw it, and the hard drive crashed. Which is a problem, since a lot of my comic-making resources, and a few writing projects I was working on in my spare time (There were 3 big ones, one about two people who woke up one day, and found everyone on earth had disappeared but them, one is a fantasy story taking place present day, and one is about an amusement park where you kill zombies.), were all on there. Hopefully we can get information off of them, my dad seems to think so anyways.

So yeah, here's hoping I can get my new computer up and running soon.

My Computer Is Run Off Pixie Dust And Kitten Wishes

So. Hopefully, within the next week, I will upgrade my computer, to a better one. However, I feel the need to point out something about my current computer, before I do.
It's magic. No seriously, that's the only conclusion I can come to.

It has a 1.8 Ghz processor. 1.8. 1 point freaking 8. That's not very good!

It had a subpar video card, and it.. Well it really kinda sucks. However, it can run Portal. It can run Oblivion. It can run Team Fortress 2. It literally should not be able to do that.

Now, to say it runs any of these games WELL is going overboard, minimum video settings, but seriously, the minimum requirements for all of those games waaaaay exceed the computer I have.

Oh, and let me just point out I have a friend with a way better processor than I have, and the exact same video card, and yet, my computer runs most games better than his does.

In other words, my computer is a wizard.

I'm The Gosh Darned Batman

Batman: Arkham Asylum, great game, or greatest game? Well I don't know about greatest, but it's probably in my top ten. They nailed almost everything in that game, and the few complaints I had, (Terrible boss fights, being the biggest one) paled in comparison to how good the game is.

I had mile-high expectations for this game, and I was still blown away. Not only is the gameplay good, this is one of the few games to nail multiple aspects right (Beat-em-up, stealth, detective work...) but the atmosphere was really solid, and they redesigned many characters, to really make the game unlike any other form of Batman we've seen. It's still Batman, but they really made it their own, and I'm glad they didn't try to make "The Dark Knight: The Video Game" because that would have sucked.

And let me just say this: The Joker in B:AA, is as good, if not better, than Heath Ledgers. Say what you will about Luke Skywalker being the performance of a life-time (a rant for another day.) Mark Hamil gave the performance of a lifetime as The Joker in both TAS, and this. He's a different Joker, but an amazingly good Joker.

Not only that, but his plot was surprisingly good. Without getting too spoilery: He has a Plot, disguised by a cover-plot, and a backup-plot in case the plot, and cover-plot fail. That's 3 layers of plots.

So, in short, B:AA, is amazing. If you haven't played it yet, do.

No Post Tonight

Friend coming in from out of town. Good times will be had.

Knights of the Old Republic

Is a pretty cool game.

I just thought I'd let you all know.
