NEW PC!

Esh, trying to play Spellborn has once again highlighted how crap my PC is, it ran ok to start with, but now i'm in more populated areas, its just not cutting it and making the game pretty much, well - not 'unplayable' but very unenjoyable.

So, i finally bit the bullet and started shopping around for a new PC.
After much shopping around i have just placed an order to get the following rig built :

Case: Antec Nine Hundred Black
Power Supply: Silverpower 850W PSU
Processor: Core i7 920 8MB Cache Socket 1366
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Ultra 120
Graphics Card 1: Zotac GeForce GTX 275 896MB PCIe 2.0
Graphics Card 2: Zotac GeForce GTX 275 896MB PCIe 2.0
Memory: 6GB Corsair DDR3 1600MHz C9 Triple Channel
Motherboard: Gigabyte EX58 UDR3 Socket 1366
Hard Disk Drive One: 500GB Caviar SE16 SATA 300
Optical Drive One: DVD-Rom x16
Optical Drive Two: DVD-RW 20x
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1
Speakers and Headsets: Logitech X-240 2.1 Speakers
Monitor: GNR 22"
Keyboard: Saitek Cyborg keyboard
Mouse: Razer Copperhead Gaming Mouse
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit)
Build Options: Fast Build (5 working days)

Total: £1946.71

Initially i was planning to buy just the components and build it myself, but i thought sod it and payed the extra for them to do it all.
They are even going to overclock / tune it and handle cable-management.

Pretty good deal i think.
I'm paying this over a 12 month period on a finance option.

The beast should be with me in a week, two weeks at the latest. Cant fucking wait

The Case



Look at this fucking keyboard <3!!!!!!

Its like my own personal little temple of NOD!!

You dirty, dirty, lucky man!! I HATE YOU!

Friggin badass PC man, grats. You should go by Crysis JUST to run it on high settings!

lol, yeah man. This is gonna bring me back to the PC big-time.
One of the reasons i stopped being a PC-junkie was due to my system threatening to commit suicide everytime i even LOOKED at running something fun..

Definatly gonna check out Crysis, dunno what else yet. Will do some research (i've been so absorbed with PS3 gaming i dont really know whats new on the PC-side of things).

So yeah, Crysis. Oh and Dawn of War 2. haha. i've been wanting to play that

Oh Sweet Gods..
I bought a new rig just in time..

Huxley is gonna be released via ijji games.
Now i know this was gonna happen, but noone knew when and it was just a solid rumor.
ijji now have a teaser-site up and a shiney countdown timer.

Huxley

Quick lowdown :

Huxley is kinda like guildwars meets Warhammer 40,000.

Its an MMOFPS where players join one of two races/factions.
Each race has own 'safe zone' in the form of a city. From here you can chill, chat with everyone, forms clans, party's etc.
Inside the city there are shops, apartments, guild halls, and various other buildings
You can also challenge others to PvP matches.

Once out of the city walls, its all-out war.

You can form up a party and go and kick the crap out of opposing forces, or go rambo-style and try to survive alone.
You can also form a party with others and fight instanced battles with computer AI (a third race in the game). These battles are in the form of missions/quests.

When you begin the game, you'll stay on foot just outside your home city taking care of several easy baddies. As you progress through the game you'll move farther from the city taking a low-level train. Farther on you can have access to a high-level train which will get you different places. You may even buy your own vehicles such as motorcycles, trucks, APCs or gunships.

As you gain experience and Lv-up you acquire licenses and specializations, which can lead to you being able to operate a new vehicle or master using a new type of weapon. You increase your level through experience points received from battle

ijji's release will be the first ever english version of this game.

Man i hope they dont screw it up
