WOOT! I also got Pokemon Diamond, Mario Kart DS and New Super Mario Bros.

Well, after Christmas, I purchased a new PC. It was a great deal for the amount (Or lack thereof) that I payed for it. I was also tempted into buying a new ATI video card. I could never be happier. I can play Oblivion at high settings (Not max on everything) and get a solid fps all the time. I can play HL2, FEAR, BF2, etc etc etc at maximum settings and get the same results. I have never been happier with a purchase. I am thinking about selling my XBOX360, as I do not think I will be playing it anytime soon. In fact, I haven't even touched it in the past four months except to stream some videos and music to my TV and sound system with the media center extender. The only thing holding me back is the negative thoughts I am having about the future of PC gaming. Sure... we have had some great games in the past year or two, but it seems to me that developers are starting to abandon PC gaming and are all hopping on the console gaming bandwagon. Hopefully I am wrong.

Either way, I have been having a ton of fun with my new PC, and I know I will be having that fun with it in the future as well.

GS has been my home for a long time. I have had so much fun here, and GS has brought me from the not-so-hardcore-gamer-who-just-had-a-large-collection days to my present can't-fight-this-feeling-anymore impulsive gaming habits to feed my addiction of the ultimate entertainment. The past year and a half, I have not come on GS at all. Sure... I came on here two or three times thinking that I would make GS part of my everyday life again... but I failed at completing this task. I do miss the old all-night-forum-patrol days of the past. And because of this, I am going to give myself one more chance to becoming a regular on GS. I feel sort of strange... writing (Or typing... aka virtual writing) all of this even though I know almost nobody will read it. I do not care, though. I guess it's more than a blog, it's a personal journal.
