Go ahead, make my day...

  PEICE OF $#*& !!!!!!

  I am pretty much fed up with my dad and our computer. It's a piece of sh*t, plain and simple, and he won't buy another one because hes a cheap ba$terd.

  To start off with, my computer is a completely stock Dell Dimension 4100 that we bought in 1999. It worked just fine back then, being a top of the line computer. Now-a-day's it's a different story. It's had a virus or two, and the only updates it's had has been to Windows Me. I don't even have XP. It gives me an error message every time I start it, freezes half of the time on start up, and can't go one full day without freezing once  Just today, in a 1 1/2 hour sitting, it has frozen 3 times. Yesterday in the 5+ hours I used it it froze seven times. I am just feed up. It's pissing me off so bad that I want to take a sledge hammer to it.

  I have been trying to get my parent's to get a new computer for 2 years now. Everyone we know says we should. I know we should. The problem is my dad, who is the cheapest person on earth. He will do anything to save money, accept stop going to casinos every weekend and blowing 200 bucks on slot machines. Every time I get a new game or anything else, he b*tches and moans about it, but it's nothing for him to go to a casino all day and just p*$$ away money. If he would save his cash for a month or two we could get a new computer, a nice one that would last for a while.

  I am at the point right now where I would go and spend my own money on a new one. I found a pretty nice online store called IBuyPower, which builds gaming PC's. They give you a list of components and you choose what you want. They offer named brand parts for about the same price it would cost you to build it yourself. I pieced together a low to mid level machine for under $800. One that has a AMD 3800 dual core processor, a GB of RAM, a Nvidia 7100GS graphics card, a 160GB hard drive, and speakers and a key board. But my dad refuses to buy one, saying that I will be in college in two years and it's a waste of money.

  Well, better go before my computer freezes up again and I have to type all this over again.

  No more Singingfish?

  This certainly sucks. Every time I try to go to my favorite audio search site (where I downloaded over half of my music), it redirects me to AOL Video. I don't want to search for video, I want to search for music. Hopefully they are just making some improvements to the site and it's temporarily down. If not, I am going to have to find another search engine.

  Also, in another bit of band news, it turns out that the rumors are true. The PS3 version of Oblivion, a game that I really, really want, will not have all of the DLC available. The memory limitations are real. Since the game was not built for the PS3, it's not going to use it's memory efficiently, which means that with all of DLC loading up, the game is going to take some performance hits, which were not acceptable. There will be some, but not all of it. I am hoping that they will release all of it when the Shivering Isles comes out. Since it will most likely be sold in retail stores on a BR disc, they might just put all of the DLC on it like they did with the KotN for the PC.

  Well, all in all, today wasn't really that good gaming wise. Real life wise I am doing okay. I finally got all of my school work inline (I had a couple projects and a report to do), and everything is running smooth now. The bad thing is that yesterday my sinuses started acting up again. Hopefully it's just one of those 24 hour viruses thats been going around. I don't want to be stuck with this for a week or two.

  Thats all for now.

  It's Been A While...

  It's hard to believe how long it's been since I have updated my blog or my profile. I have been coming here and occasionly posting a few times for a while now, but I never thought to post another blog, or even update my collection. Today is the day though.

  The first and biggest thing that has happened since is that I have finally gotten a PS3. About a month or so after launch, I was able to track down one at my local EB Games. They hade just gotten a shipment in of 60GB's, so I snapped one up as quick as I could. I must say that I love my new console. I have it hooked up to the internet and everyhing, and have been having fun with it since the day I bought it. I would still like to buy a 360 one day, but right now I am plenty sastified with my PS3.

  I bought Resistance before I got the console itself, and had a blast playing through it and had even more fun playing online. It's a little sad that it's really the only game worth buying right now, but that will all change in a few months. I also bought Blazing Angels a couple of weeks ago and have been obsessed with it. Don't let the crappy GS score fool you, it's actually one of the better (if not best) WWII dogfighting games out there.

  Recently  have found myself becoming incresingly obsessed with TES IV: Oblivion. I have never played it before, but I am planning on buying it the day it comes out for my PS3. Just like with games in the past, I can't stand the waiting for it. It's driving me insane. I already have my character planned out, and I have been doing a good bit of looking into the game at uesp.net, which is a great source of Oblivion related information.

  And I guess that wraps up this little update. I doubt that there will be a another one soon though.
