Good old EB Australia breaking a release date again. Just picked up Spore Galactic Edition.

update: To be perfectly honest I had no real idea what Spore was. I just loved the screenshots. Now that I've played it all I can say is BUY IT!

Last weekend I gave the free PC demo of Team Fortress 2 a chance. I wasn't expecting much since I absolutely hated the PS3 version of The Orange Box.

Boy was I right to hate it!

The PC version of TF2 was so good that I purchased The Orange Box via Steam straight away.

PC version = great
PS3 version = garbage

As you may or may not know I've been a UNIX/Linux/OS X user for many years. The last time I had a Windows desktop PC (other than my Vista Media Center box) in my house was back in the Windows 95 days. I actually own a Dell XPS M1330 notebook, the reason I bought this was I'd had it with Apples extremely over priced and under powered notebooks.

Well recently I decided to compare dekstop Macs to desktop PCs. I ended up on Dell.com and they had an amazing deal on the XPS 420 desktop. I couldn't help myself. I sold my iMac and purchased the XPS.

Currently the machine is sitting at a courier company and I've been told it will be arriving on Monday morning. I've got Bioshock sitting on my desk waiting to be installed.

I can't wait. Although it's a bit weird as I remove this last Mac from my house.
