151-It's Official!

I like this Windows Live Writer thingy. I think I am going to use it from now on. In the meantime I will be thinking of a cool new domain name. If you have any suggestions you should drop me a line to let me know.

Oh remember a few months back when I said Manhunt 2 was going to be the most controversial game ever. Well if you have been keeping up with your video game news you know I was right. It's old news so I wont rehash it, but hopefully that game sees the light of day, cause I would like to give it a whirl.

Oh so you might be asking yourself how I am using Windows Live Writer when I clearly was a Mac user. Well kids....I broke down and built myself a PC to play games on. I thought it was a pretty good PC, but I am finding out that it's kinda low end for gaming. It scores a 4.1 out of 5.9 on the Windows Vista Experience index. I put a 1.8ghz Core 2 Duo in it, 2 gigs of Value Ram, a 250gb HDD, and a Nvidia 8600 in it. It turns out I should have went SLI and maybe a faster processor. I may try to overclock the CPU, but since I have no clue how that kind of stuff works I might hold off.

I started the Beta for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars over the weekend, and my computer seems to handle it fine with things turned up a few notches, but I tried to play it with settings all the way up and it looked more like I was sending myself postcards from the battlefield.

I ran 3D Mark 06 on the computer yesterday for fun, and got a way low score. Like in the high 4000's. I dunno. Anyone have any tips on how to eek some performance out of this thing?
