Well this week had a bunch of fun times and a few sad times as well..First of all I ended up getting The World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse

Its a really cool mouse. It has 15 buttons and can glow in like 10 million colors or something like that. Its hard to set up the buttons because you chose the button you want and it will give you a buch of confusing choices. Action Button 1, secondary action button 3, special action button 10, etc.. I dont know which is which! lol. But yet I am still a newbie to WoW I only have been playing for 4 or 5 months on and off. Other than that its really fun to use.

I also have Spore now.I showed it to my sister cause she loves the sims games and I convinced her to buy it and she enjoys it. Me on the other hand.. well, its pretty cool. The customization is really impressive. But I just kind of think its repetitive in a way. You are in this stage and you have to do thisX amount of times to gain DNA to get to the next Mode. Im currently in the Creature mode so I dont know how good the rest of the game is but so far its okay. I dont play it as much as my other games like WoW.

Something sad just happend to me like 15 minutes ago..yeah, thats right. My Xbox died.. AGAIN. The symptoms were coming though, so its not very shocking. It would do it every now and again. So i would turn the power off and turn it back on and it worked. But latly I would turn it on and I would get no video so i rebooted it and I would get crackling audio and then none as well as no picture. And now this happened. I can say Im mad to an extent cause I was really enjoying Call of Duty 4 again. But I can wait for the repair.. since I have a decent pc now. So yeah, I guess im going to call 4MYXBOX sometime soon to get it in.

Well that was how my week was.. but the good news is.. I work at 11:30 tomarrow AND its supose to snow a lot tomarrow as well! What day tomarrow is going to be.. or today! lol.. *sigh* (Im being sarcastic if you havent figured that out yet..");

PEACE!

Today was probably the most fustrating day of my spring break (and not just cause it was my last day). Okay last night I stayed up pretty late on my new computer, which is to be expected.. I was thinking that I should get the VGA HD Cable for my xbox 360 so I can play on my nice monitor. Knowing how much money I DONT have I was thinking of ways to get that money.. Im looking around and what do I see? My dusty old psp that I never play because Its covered with peach juice and all the buttons are stuck. So I was thinking I should trade that in and my games for it and that way I can get some cash. Well, I look on Gamestops website and find out that I can get 25 dollars extra for it and for every 6 games I trade in I can get 40% more!

So today i got my games together went down to gamestop and traded everyting in. I wasnt expecting to get a lot.. but then I look at the little screen and it says I get 127 bucks. Im like.. SWEET D So im trying to hand the guy my edge card.. and he says.. "Wait, thats WITHOUT any of the extra deals.." I'm thinking :0 more money!! yeah! and My grand total was 179 bucks!! So Im at the checkout with the cable and I look at the counter behind the checkout and what do I see? Probably the hottest looking mouse I have ever seen in my life!!

As tempting as it was, I passed on it and got the cord and a year of XBL.

When i get home and hook up the cord to my monitor it works fine so im messing around with the resoultion and the screen went blank.. then instead of letting it reset.. I pressed B and it stayed that way. I switch cords back to the tv one so it might reset.. DIDNT. I hold y and r trigger to reset settings to factory ones.. DIDNT WORK.. I ended up calling xbox support TWICE.. The first time I got some spanish dude saying how my monitor is jacked up and practically hung up on me.. Then i called again and I got a nice arab sounding women and she put me on hold to bring up some stuff and when she did that.. it magically started to work again! so i told her thankyou and hung up..

So nowI have everything working and 80 or so bucks left in store credit.. Im really debating on whether or not to get that sexy mouse I was thinking on picking up either: Street Fighter 4 or Dawn of War II.. Im thinking I will just keep thinking about it.

And the next thing Im probably going to spend money on is a new video card.. I tweaked the settings of wow to run on max settings and get around 30fps+ so Im kind of happy bought that but I dont want to always look at game boxes thinking. I wonder if this will run smoothly on my pc. Instead I just dont want to worry about that.

Man, I really dont wanna go to school tomarrow..

All I can say is WOW! I really enjoy having a pc that is all mine I love it. Its really fast to.. I was freaking out for a bit when I first got it though. I hooked up everthing and my monitor wasnt recognizing that my pc was on. It wouldnt recognize the signal.. So im like WTF? I thought at first that it might be that the video card was a dud.. (I bought an open box one off of newegg.) So I just hooked it up through the onboard gpu. THAT DIDnt work either! So then knowing how helpful the forums are on here, I posted it and asked what im doing wrong.. (I used my parents pc) while I was waiting I was just messing around with it. then I look on the back and see a switch. WTF? why would there be a little switch on the back? so I flip it and sure enough, the monitor turns on and my computer starts up.. even though it was already on? lol I dont know..

So now im just trying out some games and see how well the run on it.. But they dont run that much better than my parents pc that I installed a video card on. I found out that a nvidia geforce 8400 gs isnt a very good gaming card.. so when I get some more money im going to invest in this on card thats really good and takes up no power so i dont need to get a new power supply as well.. or maybey I will just save for a psu and gpu.. I havent decided.

What I also found out is that my monior may be HD!! its 1600 x 1050. I looked it up and apparently its in between 750 and the TRUE HD.. lol so Im going to get a VGA adapter and use this monitor to game on. Cause even though I have a 62" Samsung in my basement.. The true hd stuff looks a little to good.. Its really hard to explain.. to me it just doesnt look as good as a normal HD tv or monitor.. it trys to much lol.

So yeah.. Im just overal really happy with my new computer.. I would list the specs but this post is too long the way it is.. lol. All I know is that the processor is an intel quad running at 2.4 gh.. and the gpu which sucks.. lol. and it has a really cheezy halo 2 side that looks the exact same as the halo2 cover.. lol... but hey I loved halo 2 so I guess it doesnt matter.. lol
