Back Online!

Well it has been a hell of a week. I finally have finished moving to my new place. What an ordeal it was. We had rented a U-Haul for 7am but we didnt end up getting a truck until after 9am. When we finally get the truck loaded and arrive at the new place the service elevator was out of order and there was only the one elevator in the lobby to we were not allowed to put the elevator on service since other residents would need to use it. It took about 3 hours to unload the first load and then we had to rush back and pick up the last bunch of stuff and get it unloaded in about 1 hour to so we could have the truck back to avoid any extra charges Uhaul. Anyways the whole day was just to stressful (but what move isn't). Today we spent the day unpacking and getting most of the stuff and getting it all set up. I am just so glad it is over!

Playing Guild Wars Again!

Well I started back into Guild Wars this week. It has been about 1 year since I last played so the story is a mystery to me. I an starting to remember how everything works and I am getting some help for the people in the Guild Wars Guru Guild. I have but in about 6 hours this week. I am using the toon i had before which is a Warrior/monk. I was level 10 when I started and in piken square. I think I have finished the last quest there and I am on to a new land when I play tomorrow. It is a great game and I should have given a better chance when I first got it. I just have a short attention span when it comes to games. I am always looking to try something else.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Impressions Part 2 - Actually trying the game!

After the dreadful install, I finally got to try the game for about 30min or so.  To run it I had to drop to Medium settings and then tweak a few of the options in the advanced menu. The load times are a killer, it took about 5 min to load the level before I could get playing.  The intro is pretty, the graphics are just awesome in it. The game seemed to stutter through the intro and the first five mins of the game but then disappeared.  The game is pretty cool a nice mix of some FPS with a bit of RPG style thrown in. With my current rig the visuals are not all that impressive but I am sure that on the high end systems the game looks amazing. I have to look and see if there is an option for auto save. You get so used to having ti there that when I died after the first couple quests I actually had to start all over again.  So far so good, I will keep you all posted.
