I have been busy the last few weeks which have caused an even greater length of time between this blog and the last. This influx of time for a blog to be completed has also been fogged by my time being consumed with other predicaments. So without further ado; welcome to my blog.
The computer I was saving up for has been bought, assembled, and I have been using it for about two weeks now. My goal of spending $800 on the computer was a little low so I opted for an increase and the total of my system came to about $1500. Its nice and fast but I will be upgrading it further on with the installation of more ram and adding another graphics card in SLI format for greatly increased graphic speeds. I bought a few games which include: Company of Heroes, and The Orange Box. Company of Heroes is an amazing RTS which was created by Relic in 2005 and won the game of the year award. It is an RTS staged in the times of WWII, and I have had lots of fun by mostly playing online as the allies and having a three game win streak on 1 vs 1, and so far have had about 50% of my games one in games with more people and more varying skill levels.The Orange Box I bought three days ago is fantastic, and I am going to have to say the best deal in Video Game History. It includes: Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2, HL2: EP1, HL2: EP2, and the famously renowned Portal. So far I have played about twelve hours of TF2, beaten Portal, and played the first 2-3 hours of Half Life 2. They are all great games and I have to give Valve props for all there hard work in the gaming world.As a final note I entered a small creation into the Coloraze contest which I just made as a low skill level for beginners as I didn't have the inspiration as I did with the first game to make an intuitive level. Also I have been playing the levels of others, and the downloading levels feature is great. But I am not able to upload levels which is really ticking me off. If someone knows how to fix the error it would be greatly appreciated.9300 hits as of writing,Graydon Armstrong
I recently got portal for my birthday, I beat the story mode very quickly. The only challange level that I have beaten so far is chamber 16 using only 2 portals. I love test chamber 16 =). You can also use cheats to get the cake (fly to it through walls)
HL2 is a great game.
Portal is just awesome."This was a triumph."
I bought The Orange Box when it came out, because I'm a fanboy. I've finished all the HL2 games, beaten Portal's main game and three of the Advanced chambers, and played about 5 minutes of TF2. Yeah, I don't get time for that when I'm online via PC.What are the specs of your new computer?
I will write the specs for my computer in my next blog. Also I wonder if the levels for the Coloraze contest are actually going to be judged.
Why wouldn't I count on it. Going into SLI mode almost doubles the speed of the GPU combo.
