Packing up again....

After only a year and a half my wife and I have decided that Ottawa is just not for us and we are heading back to our home towns. He are both quiting our jobs with nothing lined up back home (...hopefully not a mistake....lol....we will see) This has been in the works for weeks now but it is finally happening and I only have 2 weeks left in this town.

We are just starting to pack up everything once again (didnt I just do this six months ago.....lol). Man what a pain moving is. You live out of boxes for about 3 weeks or 4 weeks by the time everything is said and done. The worst part of it all is this move is only temp as well. Once we get back to and settled into the house we are renting we will begin our search for our first house!! We hope to have purchased and moved into our future home by April which gives us about another 6 months till me move again....i dread it already.......

Finished Lost Planet

Well I finally got the time to finish the PC version of Lost Planet. It is a fun game which is action packed and chaotic at times. The throw back to the old school boss battles is awesome and the mix between running around and using a mech is great. If you guys have a chance to play the PC or 360 version I suggest you do it. You won't be disappointed......unless you try to play the MP. I have a hell of a time connecting to a game. Capcom is aware of the problem and slowly working on the issue. They should have it fixed by the time the game dies away. Oh well, nothing is perfect I guess.

XP or Vista

I am trying to decide whether I should have XP or Vista running on my game system. I have Vista right now but I am wondering if I will get more performance out of XP. With the Vista only games being cracked for XP now as well there is really nothing kepping me with Vista. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this?

New Computer System

Well I have finally built my new PC. I work for a computer wholesaler/distributor so I get some crazy deals on computer stuff. Last week I decided I would upgrade to something a little newer. I decided to go with an AMD X2 4600+, 2gb (2 X 1) OCZ Dual Channel RAM, Asus M2A-VM motherboard and an nVidia 8600GT (which I have overclocked to almost the specs of an 8600GTS!) So far it has been great alothough having to reinstall everything again is such a pain.

I am curently playing the following games: Battlefield 2, Prey, Lost Planet, Guild Wars, Counter Strike Source. Send me a message if you want to play some time. I am picking up a copy of Shadow Run tomorrow and then I have a copy of Dirt on its way via mail sometime this week as well.
