All About HenriH-42

    Dragon Age Origins is, like, totally awesome.

    Yesterday DA:O was released over here in Europe. While I would've preferred the Collector's Edition, they were completely sold out. Oh well. I got the regular edition which is more than enough.

    I played the game for 17 hours straight, taking only a couple of food and bathroom breaks. The game is AMAZING, easily the best game released this year. I don't remember the last time when I did this kind of gaming marathon. It was probably back when Thief 3 was released. I already feel like I've got my money's worth, since I know I'll be replaying it several times.

    Also on a related note, Xfire is crap. It doesn't download the 'game updates' since there's apparently something wrong with my router settings, even though I've port forwarded 25777 and allowed UPnP. I have no idea what I could do, I mean it's not a big deal but it means that Xfire won't log how long I've played Dragon Age, until they release a new major update. *sigh* If anyone knows anything that could fix this, it would be appreciated.

    Anyway, I'm off to play some more Dragon Age. If you haven't got this game already then what the hell are you doing, go buy it now!

    New GPU... finally!

    So yeah, it arrived today along with a new motherboard and RAM. Me and my brother spent hours trying to install it (had to replace the motherboard, switch the CPU, Windows had to reinstall all drivers etc.) and everything seems to be fine so far. Hopefully I won't run into problems anymore, at least for a while

    Here's a picture of it:

    Geforce GTX 260. Seems to be a good card, and from my tests I can run games with considerably better settings than before with higher framerates. Yay!

    Also I can finally play Risen (also pictured), which I bought over a week ago. So... seeya, I'm off to do some gaming!

    So my graphics card has died...

    Farewell, 8800 GTS 640 MB, you have served me well.

    Sigh. I probably won't be posting here for a while, until I get a new graphics card so eh.
