About Me

Alright, basic intro:

I was born in 1984, which means I grew up just a tad late to be an Atari front runner (still got one and played the shit outta it) but I did get to grow up with Nintendo. I've bought every Nintendo console on release day (Wii included, 32 hours outside of Wal-mart).

I'm a "hardcore gamer" but I detest the term and I won't fit into any damn mold! I LOVE retro games, and I think 90% of the shit on the game market right now isn't worth the time or money I'd have to spend to burn those shitty studios that make these games to the ground.

I hate the fact that the FPS genre has become so flooded it's hard to find anything good and not WWII, and I think the last good FPS was Half-life 2 (HL2+Source+Bioshock WTF PWN ALL).

I've been PC gaming since I was 3

Shit I've bought:

Nintendo - NES, SNES, Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, N64, Game Boy Color, GB Advance (+SP), Virtual Boy (fun ass system imo), Gamecube, GB Micro (was a gift, I prolly wouldn't have bought one), DS, DS Lite, Wii.

Sony - Playstation, Playstation 2 (3 of em so far), PSone. Gonna buy a PS3 only if it's under $300, and a PSP when it's cheaper.

M$ - Winblows 3.1 up to Vista Ultimate (I bit the bullet and got Vista when I built my latest PC), Xbox. Gonna buy a 360 when the revamped 65nm version is down under $300.

It's HERE!!! Nyteshade | 3:32 PM on 09.18.2007 12 comments

So, as I blogged about last night, I just blew 2.5 large on a new PC. Well, it's here, and as promised I'm going to be making a "making of" my new PC in pictures. To start the whole thing out, here are some pics of my just arrived stuff! My current PC and desk... Old PC. Why's the side off? Let's see... Oh yeah, the power supply fan died, so I taped a case fan to the back... IT WORKS! Hence yet another reason why I need a new PC! Always have a good tool kit! UPS COMETH!!!! All the goodies laid out nice like... Close up right side... Close up left side... And that's it for now. I'm going to start building this bad boy right now and will continue to snap pics throughout. Expect a write up about building a PC and how this new beast performs soon, I have Wednesday and Thursday off! Yay!
