After an extended holiday from computer games and all things computer related, my Gamespot account is now active again, due to the arrival of my brand new computer. After spending the last one and a half years chasing after girls and studying, I realised that the one thing that reliably gave me pleasure was a good computer game.

So when my brother needed my laptop for University, I saw the ideal opportunity to cash in on his departure and swiftly replaced the laptop with a desktop capable of playing high-end games easily, something my laptop hasn't been able to do for the past three years.

With the new Intel Core i5 processor as the main powerhouse of my new machine, multitasking suddenly becomes effortless compared to the measly single core processor I had before. Combined with 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 Crucial RAM, the effect is sublime performance carrying out a range of operations, even with the memory hungry Windows Vista installed.

The only thing missing is a graphics card, and with ATI seemingly streets ahead of nVidia, opting for a 1GB ATI Radeon HD4870 seemed like the best option. All connected to a top-end ASUS motherboard with quad GPU Crossfire support, things are looking rosy for years to come thanks to the ability to upgrade the RAM and graphics of the desktop easily.

In a matter of days, impressive new OS Windows 7 will be released, and will immediately be put onto my computer thanks to a voucher that came with the desktop and then everything will be set for my new era of gaming.

Having never experienced the likes of Bioshock and Elder Scrolls, they, along with Fallout 3 GOTY edition will be delivered by Wednesday and more games will follow in the coming months. And I can't wait to lay my hands on some absolutely legendary games! I might go missing for a while!

Another sport post because Arsenal did it. A 1-0 home victory against Chelsea. It all seems to be going our way now. Several vital players are back from injury and we just need to sit tight and protect our one point lead at the top of the table. It was a shame that Liverpool couldn't get a pint against Man Utd (1-0 to Man Utd), but I think we are still inwith a huge chance of topping the table this season. We've played all the big three now and a win and two draws is great. Keep it up guys. Come on you Gunners!!!!!!!!!!!

Two big games just gone for Arsenal and two well earned draws. We were never actually ahead in the games against Man Utd and Liverpool, but in both matches we fought back and go the deserved goals. Admittedly, we should have won both games because we were playing really well, especially against Liverpool, but a draw away to Liverpool is a good result and with a game in hand we're still top of the table. Come on you Gunners!!!! And that Slavia Prague match was awesome. Fabulous goals and it just shows the level of football that Arsenal are capable of, even without any of our strikers currently on form. Come on you Gunners!!!!!!!!!
