End of week

So the week comes to an end (yay). It always feels nice when Friday comes around. You don't have any work plans for the next day, you can stay up as late as you want playing games (ok, so at least I can stay up late playing games) since you know you don't have to wake up early the next morning for work.

It's just a nice feeling...

On another front, Elton John tickets go on sale for his concert in Charlottesville tomorrow morning @ 10 am. It seems the whole of Charlottesville is up in arms about this concert. All the major music communities can't shut-up about Elton John. Mind you, I'm one of those people who will be up bright and early tomorrow morning to try and get tickets online, so I guess I really don't have much room to talk. It should be a good concert though, I mean, it's freakin' Elton John...can't really go wrong with that.

So I guess I really haven't talked that much about gaming, and since I'm a basically a hard-core gamer at heart now would be a good time to talk about it...

My current games include: Diablo II (can't get of enough of the main reason why my college GPA suffered), Battlefield 2, NCAA 2009 (for Wii), Dawn of War: Soulstorm, StarCraft (gotta get ready for SC II when Blizzard gets their crap together and releases the game), Bioshock, and of course TF2 (if you don't know what this means...go find out...now...go on....I'll wait.)

So yeah, I guess I'm more of an RTS junky, I really enjoy them...I know here comes the comments of how great Supreme Commander is, and I have the game and have played it, but for some reason I just don't find it awesome as something like SoulStorm or StarCraft. I've also really come to love FPS game as I get better at them. I've been playing FPS since Quake and Doom back in the day, but something about RTS games just talks to me...no idea...I guess it's the fact that RTS games takes some more building and planning, and you actually know, going into the game, that you'll get some real play time and not just 3 seconds of being alive until the guy who is l337 comes and frags you from behind.

The last game I tried is Warmonger. If you haven't tried it make sure you're system can launch nuclear missiles with ease, cause about the level of computer power required to run this game. I really don't have a crappy system, first gen Intel dual core processor 2.86 Ghz, 3 GB RAM, Nvidia 7800 video card...by no means anything crappy, but this game brings my system literally to it's knees...even on the lowest settings, it still is super jerky and plays really poorly. I don't know, maybe my system is now out of date? Just seemed strange, especially since I can still run games like Bioshock with no effort from my system...oh well, I guess if I can't play a random online free game, I'll be OK.

Ok, I think that's it for tonight...I'll let you know if I manage to score Elton John tickets!
