So I've decided to get myself a new PC, a couple of days later I had my parts all picked out and managed to stay under 1500$ CAD. I know its not the greatest rig ever made but it will be good enough for me since right now I'm playing all of my games on my laptop which totally sucks.

Some of the games I'm looking to play once the store I'm buying from gets the main board and the CPU are:

- World of Warcraft (of course)
- BioShock
- CS:S, DofD
- Sims 2 Deluxe (hoping to see it actually run for ones)
- Americas Army (see what that's all about, got bad around 3.0 so who knows now)

There is more games that I want to play once I get the rig built but for now this is my top 5 in no order.... well WoW is first but the rest is in no order.

Also I will be able to actually record ingame stuff which will be awesome, I'll probably get the WeGame client. The WeGame client is free but its also kind of weird in a sence that it kinda works and kinda doesn't but I believe the issue is Vista related since I looked around on the WeGame site and it was only Vista oweners that had similar troubles.

But untill the day of the build I got nothing to do but go to work and make money :P and ofcourse hang out with the friends.

Anniversary of Heath Ledger's passing.

It saddens me to know that he died of an overdose or a proscribed medicine. But it sickens me to know that a lot of people went to see the Dark Knight just to see if he was any good in the movie or not.

I remember opening weekend for the Dark Knight, I chose not to go on that weekend because I knew what was in store for me if I had to wait in line. The day after opening night I was proven right, there was a local and a non local news cast that took place at different cinemas and random people were asked "why are you here to see this movie?", and the majority of the answers that I heard were "just to see if Ledger was any good..."

Do people really care that little that he passed away that the only reason they show up to a movie is to see if he met their expectations? I know I took my time before I saw the movie, a death comes before entertainment in my opinion. I mean when someone so young looses their life shouldn't you take a second and understand why it happened?

But that's just my two cents on the topic. What are you're thoughts on this? Feel free to leave a comment I would like to know what you think.

Vermont judge tosses inmate's claim prison chicken was too foul to eat.

Well i guess the moral of the story is.... do crime and eat raw chicken?

Its kind of sad that something like that could go unnoticed, even if it did happen in a prison. Just because they are in prison doesn't mean they aren't real people, they still need food that's you know... eatable...

Personally I'm sickened that stuff like this even happens when it comes to food. Its not like this is the first time it happened too, I've personally witnesses a case where a snickers bar had maggots in crawling in it and it was completely sealed when it was purchased.

Keep an eye out before you bite into something I guess, I know I try to.

Thanks for reading, feel free to comments anything.

Pekoppa toy.

Have you ever been put down at work or your home? Ever feel like no one cares about what you have to say? Well no more! Now you can have your very own potted plant that will listen to everything you have to say and nod in agreement to you.

Sounds crazy doesn't it? To some maybe to others no. If you live in Japan you can get one of these little plants for roughly $26 USD.

You know when I first read this I though "wow what a stupid and useless thing to have". But after leaving this post over a day I had time to think about it. Yes it is still kinda crazy to me, thinking about talking to a plant, but if you think about it from some ones elses perspective you begin to realize something. Just because its crazy to me doesn't mean its going to be crazy to everyone, people have FAR worse jobs then what I do and much worse home lives. Maybe they have an aggressive family where they get put down all day long for not doing anything right. This could really be an outlet for alot of people, a little green happy plant that wont die (its made of metal that responds to sound stimulus) that you don't have to take care of or even ensure that it stays happy. It will always be there for them and will always 'nod'.

To be honest I wouldn't have engineered something like this in a million years but I'm glad that there is a company out there thats thinking of people that don't have the best of lives.

Thanks for reading, feel free to leave a comment.

So I'm still perusing a career in Mechanical Engineering at Conestoga College and I love it. For once I feel like I'm doing something that will actually be useful in the future. Not counting now though since the economy is so messed and all the engineering positions are moving out of the country, who knows maybe I'll be able to move to another country after I'm done my education. Always wanted to go to London, England seems like a great place to live and possibly work... But for the mean time I'm going to keep to the grind and continue my education and looking for jobs for my Coop terms.

It's also great to get away from learning and working and go on vacations, and that is exactly what I did over the Christmas break! I went to Cuba for an 8 night stay at a new resort called Hotel la Salinas, I might post some pictures of that place later on since it was so beautiful there. I'll tell you this, spending Christmas laying on the beach and staring off into the ocean with a drink in your hand is a great feeling that I wouldn't give up for the world. Don't get me wrong I love snow but only to a certain point if you know what I mean... shoveling snow early in the morning kinda changes your views on snow haha.

Its so surprising that such a poor country can be so beautiful, and the culture there took me by a surprise. Everybody greats everyone with a handshake, and kisses on a cheek for the women, which is mind blowing compared to what I'm used to. The only time I see people that nice to each other here in Canada is if they are sales people to tell you the truth. Hopefully I'm not making Canada sound horrible, its not I love it here, but its just a different sight compared to what I'm used to seeing on a daily basis.

I don't want to go into to much detail about the trip so I don't end up boring any readers... readers that I probably don't even have but the ones that I do I don't want to bore haha.

I'll also be starting to do news chats on stuff I find interesting at the time, these may happened a couple days a week, maybe once a week or maybe daily. I don't quite know yet, it really depends on my efforts haha, eventually I hope to do the news stuff on a daily baisis and try to have fun with it.

Thanks for reading.

How many games do you own? How many are you good at? Have your experiences with games been good or bad? What makes you play games?

These are some of the questions I find myself brewing over. I, ones, was a vivid gamer. Played all sorts of games, but found the most entertainment out of computer games. Console never did the trick for me for some reason...

I personally have played and still play the following:

• Americas Army
• Counter Strike : Source
• Diablo II : LOD
• World of Warcraft
• The Sims
• Age of Empires II : Age of Kings
  

Just to name a few...

Some of these games have been good to me and some have not. Lets take Americas Army for example to start with. This is the game I had a chance to go pro with, the only thing that kept me from reaching that goal was my computer not being able to handle all the maps that I would need to play and the fact that educations comes first. Don't get me wrong though education is important and I wouldn't give it up for games.

At one point I knew every little fact about the maps and could always place myself in the right spot to avoid getting hit, yet maintain the ability to kill my opponents. Lets face it, its never 1 vs 1 in that game. I have met a lot of great players, some of which I continue to pwn with in World of Warcraft that could have made it to the top with me. We at one point have been signed up for a league to make money for our tournaments, but later were removed because we refused to use IRC. Through out this experience the game continued to be fun and like any other game it had its ups and downs. After the unreal engines were introduced to the game they brought with them a series of lag spikes and increased computer requirements. This one thing almost killed the game, a lot of people quit, and only a handful of hardcore gamers remained. Yet soon after it got another update which brought some people back and made the game even more enjoyable. But sadly by that time I was worn out by the community, blamed for cheating on our LOCKED clan server where cheats were turned ON for us to screw around. This was a common thing with all the new "anti-cheating" companies rising in the game, a lot of innocent players have been banned for using abilities that have been put in the game to make it more fun. The funny part is I was banned by the people we hired, it was two companies, one lets me go because they actually did their job and kept records of server activities, and the other didn't so they gave me a reason for not lifting the ban. They didn't stay employed for long after that lets just keep it at that. Shortly after I was done and moved on to World of Warcraft.

This game is a different story. I, like many others, have been sucked into it as if it was crack. Every level brings new skills and abilities that can be used, and the endless amount of quest that are there to be unlocked. This for me is a short story mainly because I have nothing bad to say about it other then the fact that its a huge time sink. If you enjoy spending a lot of time outside, stay away from this game! But if you enjoy chatting with people online and being involved in a community then this is the game for you. You will get everything here, a very large community, teamwork to complete quests/instances/dungeons, and the epic loot everyone loves.

Counter Strike : Source is a game that I choose to play only at lans mainly because it seems like a game that is most enjoyable with a group of friends then the random people that hop on to play or create drama for others.

The Sims to me seems like a moody game, I only have the want or need to play it if I'm in a sad mood. Other then that it never gets touched or even moused over, and its right next to my "my computer" button.

Don't get me wrong its a very good game, but it does need a mind set to play it. I just can't get into that mind set every time I want to play so I reach for a different game.


Oh man, this has got to be my biggest post EVER, too bad no ones gonna read it he he. Oh well at least I had something to do :P

Well Christmas has passed and we are on the New Years Eve.

For me Christmas was fun, I didn't go out or anything but instead I did the whole family thing. I got a few nice things from my parents, since I already have everything I want I got the usual presents, cloths, and I'm very happy with them.

In the days that have lead to today, New Years Eve, which is bigger then Christmas for my family I managed to play a lot of World of Warcraft, and go to an Opera type deal. I'm not a big fan of the Opera but i gotta say Salute to Vienna was very good and for once I didn't feel like falling asleep half way.

I don't know what I'll do on New Years Eve but I know where I'll be, I'll be home spending it with the family.

Happy New Years!!

and for all that wish to join me on World of Warcraft I play on Alterac Mountains and I'm a Bloodelf Rogue named Keiths.
