I really don't know how I do it, but I just do. Anyways, the thread to it.

Gaming addiction

I have brought over 18 games this year and spent over 600 bucks on games. Man do I love to spend.:P Just recently I got Black Ops for the PC from some guy off amazon for 40 bucks, and I'm glad too, because it's certainly not worth full price in it's current state due to one thing: It's a technical mess!

This is the 1st COD game on PC that is known to have slow performance, stutter, crash, and freeze on many. To me, the game freezes when I try to max it out, but I can run it maxed out at a constant 30-60 fps and even higher from 70-121 at times, so I run it at high and it's fine though it still randomly freezes. I put it on normal and sometimes it freezes, my god. Then low and it never does. It really shows how unoptimized the game is. I had to go into config files and make changes to even play it. On default it's set to use multiple graphics cards and single core cpu. That is the dumbest thing ever! Not many have multiple graphics cards and I'm sure single core cpus are nearly extinct and multi have been the norm since this gen. Who programmed this?

Besides that, the game is fun and is actually about as balanced as COD4. The campaign I thought was done well and it had plot twists that I didn't see coming. But really, the game disappointed me in the tech area, and the patches still didn't fix the freezing, though the game runs much better now.

Too many 3s!!!

Uncharted 3, Killzone 3, Resistance 3, Mass Effect 3 and Gears of War 3, all in the same year. And Battlefield 3 if we are lucky. At the VGAs, when they revealed Uncharted 3 and Resistance 3, they impressed me graphically, but Resistance 3 is the most surprising one. After Resistance 2, I didn't hype it much graphically, but that vid actually looked good. I might be able to get all of those games. I will use my save from ME2 for ME3, and speaking of that, I'm replaying it again. Gears of War 3 needs a good online to make me play that unlike Gears 2 which is horrible online, and KZ3 looks to do fine, though it comes out several days after my b-day.:x

Upcoming plans

Christmas is coming up and I still don't have my list. I hope so soon. Probably clothes, money and games, but which games beg the question. I hope to get that indie game done soon too, it's been too long. I plan on upgrading the cpu and gpu on my computer as well, stay tuned for that.
