PC Gaming, my Rose and my Thorn.
I love PC gaming, it's seriously awesome, and something I love spending time with. I play tons of games like Guild Wars, World of Warcraft, Oblivion, and older games such as Diablo 2 and Return to Castle Wolfenstien: Enemy Territory. PC gaming feels almost like a second home.
But at the same time, PC gaming is extremely frustrating and can be a hassle. For example, long installs, crashing installs, long installs that crash, game chug, game lag, crashing games. Games crash on the PC more then any console, which is very annoying, I actually had trouble installing Diablo 2 on my XPS 400.
With all these problems, PC gaming will always frustrate me in ways nothing else can, but when it all works out PC gaming is a blast. I love my PC, it's good and can play most games on medium or medium low.
Now since my PC only runs games this way, I've decided to go ahead and buy a new much better computer. Now I wouldn't just buy a new computer just to buy one, I want to play a lot of games such as:

Free to Download and Free to Play MMORPGs have a new King!
Silkroad Online is a very fun game, it's fresh, fun and just a great game to play. It's a very neat premise that throws you in the middle of the time in history that revolved trade on the Silkroad. So you don't pick any races, you choose a nationality Chinese or European. Both nationalities are virtually the same, they both can use the same classes, gear, etc. Thats one of the games downsides, the character customization is not very good. You don't choose a hair style, or a face, just a template, while most of the templates look good, it's easy to see the same one a lot. That aside, the gameplay and combat are both very good, the quests are only uninspired, but that isn't really a problem since most of them involve combat, which is the games best aspect. The creatures also look fairly unique and you fight some exotic looking ones at level 1. But the main reason why this game gets an 9 as opposed to a 10, is probably the controls. This game involves you clicking your way from place to place which isn't bad, but it also isn't great. The only other option would be using the arrow keys, which is not a good choice. But the bottom line is that Silkroad Online is a very fun game, and it's hard to be picky when this game is so much fun, and deep since it's totally free. So by all means, Silkroad is totally worth your time to at least look at, and if you don't like it, it didn't cost you any money.
Pros:
Cons:
Final Score: 9 out of 10
Oh and 800 Team Fortress kills!
Pros:
- Very Fun
- Graphics looks great
- Character Animations are clean
- You get more than your monies worth, even though its free!
Cons:
- Can get a little laggy
- Uninspired quests
- Controls could have been a little better
- The Character customization is not good
Final Score: 9 out of 10
Oh and 800 Team Fortress kills!

Hellgate: London: Demo: Colon
So last Thursday (October 18, 2007) Flagship games released the Hellgate: London demo. I gave it a shot this morning, and here is what I have to say.
It's good.
Hellgate: London is good not great, not bad. Good. The game play is quite a bit of fun, sure but everything else isn't as great. The graphics are o.k. at best, they really don't take advantage of the graphical power of a PC. Come on, you can make a versatile graphics engine without making the graphics o.k.! The graphics were disappointing. The ambiance and music both sound good, while the voice acting (though minimal, thank God) is horrendous! You can also run straight through boxes and other objects (No, not walls), which is ridiculous. I guess all that matters really is the gameplay but, with all these other problems I know for fact I won't buy this game day 1. I will probably get it eventually though.
I say a flat 8.0/10

MMO Graveyard claims another.
Ok, now I am a huge RPG fan. I mean seriously a HUGE MMORPG fan. I play a bunch. I played Lord Of the Rings Online, Guild Wars, City of Heroes, World Of Warcraft, most all of them. And I was really looking froward to one.
Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising was canceled.
Now I am a little upset here. This game seriously looked sick. I mean it. I felt like it could be the next great MMO. Yet, unfortunately It was canceled because Perpetual Entertainment wanted to focus more on Star Trek Online.
Yeah, it sucks. I guess I shouldn't complain since I have so many more options.
Rest In Piece Gods and Heroes.

Team Fortress 2! World of Warcraft! Big Rigs! and Of Course Halo3!
Well I have been playing so much Team Fortress 2 its a little unbearable, hell after this post I'll probably go right back on it. Yeesh. Well, Team Fortress is pretty much the best multi-player experience I have had in a good long while, it's just so fun and addictive. I still can't believe I am still the only guy in my circle of friends who has it! I want that achievement for playing with seven of your friends. Speaking of achievements, I got a few in TF2 today, well almost a few. I got the turret achievement and head of the class each worth 5 points, and I need to play on one more map and get one more revenge kill! But I also finally got all the skulls and terminals in Halo 3, which took all of two hours since I'm a noob at Halo. After these achievements it brings my total score to: 8,005! Yeah, I kinda ruined the 8,000 by getting the turret achievement in TF2. But I'm happy I cleared the 7,000 points hump.
On to what the actual Blog entry and something I really want to talk about, World of Warcraft. I get questions regarding this video game a lot, such as is it good and is it worth it, and so on. I want to say this, World of Warcraft is a fabulous game. Of course that would be the meat of the game, like the questing and dungeons. The rest really is up to who your actually playing with and if you're a patient gamer. World of Warcraft does have a ton of action, but it also can get boring yes but that isn't the point, it's good at being an Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Game, very good. While the actual combat system may seem a little bland, does it really matter? Their are around 8.5 million people who play the damn game, that in my book is massive. I mean think about it, if 8.5 million people play the game and seriously enjoy them selves, doesn't that mean you should at least try the game before you throw insults at it and the people who play it? It's an addicting game! Deal with it the fact that some people choose to play it is fine. I don't play as much as I use to that is for sure, but I still enjoy a dungeon or two every now and then. Now their are a people who truly need to go outside and get some fresh air and stop eating hot pockets and guzzling Mountain Dew Game Fuel, anyone who dressed up as their avatar for BLizCon '07 and anyone who masturbates to a night elf female really need to get a job or need to ride a bike or take a hike. And people who think all addicted players are like that, they have totally the wrong idea, I mean I'm addicted to Team Fortress 2 but I go out and enjoy the city, and all that.
On to more! Yes I know this blog entry has been exceedingly long, but I assure you it is coming to a close, but I do want to share with you a neat video I found on Gamespot.com it's hysterical!
I hope that worked.
Thats it, goodbye!
