Golden Age of Gaming

Long time no update, I know. But anyway, I can say I finalized my computer, after almost a year.

I bought a computer with E6300, 1GB RAM and only an on board video card. Yup, I suffered for a long time because of that. No serious games until I got my hands on a 8800GTS 320MB, which allowed me to max out any game. DiRT, Company of Heroes, Quake 4, Half Life 2: EP1, Command & Conquer 3, F.E.A.R, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, World in Conflict (demo for now), Lost Planet, Caesar 4, S.T.A.L.K.E.Rwere all allowed to enter my computer and hard drive, after I crave them for so long. I must say I was dissapointed by most of these games, but I found the few I enjoy and I never complain I don't have anything to do (The Sims 2 and FIFA are my "last resort" games).

Anyway, 1GB of RAM is not enough, obviously enough. Now I bought another stick of 1GB, and my machine is complete. I'm really happy and satisfied now, having all this power right next to my feet. And now even better, brilliant games are being published and demos released in an amazing pace. I will soon get Bioshock, that though I never went with the 'hype', seems like an excellent game to play now. World in Conflict's demo is amazing, the multiplayer is great and I think I should get to RTSes again after not really paying attention to the genre after leaving Warcraft 3, over a year ago. And with all these, I even got an MP4 player and I put in it a lot of gaming videos. I couldn't think of anything else yet.

Yes, it's a golden time. The prime time of gaming. The combination of summer vacation, great computer and great games is fantastic. It makes even the worst shows of FC Barcelona look good. I wish it would never end.
