Papa's Got A Brand New Bag
I didn't think I would be so busy during my Christmas vacation. A lot of friends came home from college and I got to see them.
We also started watching Heroes season 1 on DVD, and we finished that. That is a really addicting show. It was also on sale at Target for 20 bucks. I picked it up. The writer's strike that's going on has put a damper on any new episodes of Heroes (and several other shows), but one day it'll be finished. I'm all for the writer's and I hope they get what they deserve. But I also like TV shows. Supernatural only has 4 episodes before they run out of already written episodes. A few other shows that I usually buy on DVD are also running out of episodes.
In other news, I bought a crap load of stuff. I bought a 1080p 42 inch Sharp Aquos LCD TV. It's awesome. Watching Heroes on that was a joy. So is playing my Wii. I bought some Component cables for it and it looks nicer.
I also got a new router. I will not ever buy a Linksys router. My brother bought two of them, and both of them the ports went out on them. Not to mention it just sucked. I bought a new DLink wireless N router. It's slim and white. Plus the lights look cool. Not to mention I actually get 4 bars in my room instead of two. It's great to have a nice router. I also can connect to the internet on my Wii. Before it was a crap shoot. I followed all of the troubleshooting instructions for this one error, and nothing. Then a few days later, I can connect to the internet again. This new router should stop that from happening. I would think so. Now all I need is a wireless N card, which I have eyed on Newegg. I might do that.
I have my Zombie computer sitting in my room opened up. It's waiting for a DVD drive, and a harddrive. I would like to put a wireless card in there and the one that's in my current computer that I'm using (Transformer) works with Ubuntu, which is what I'm going to install on Zombie.
I got a chance to play Crysis yesterday. After I started playing, I couldn't stop. It's everying the reviews say it is and more. The only thing is that the Vietamese can take a few bullets. I swear I shoot them like ten times and they're still alive. Other times I shoot them twice and they fall. I must be too far away or something. Oh well. To remedy that I just turn invisible and get close to them and blast them with a shotgun. I've met some aliens but haven't gotten a chance to fight them. They just run away from me and I have to chase them and then they kill my teammates. I shouldn't really call them teammates as they don't really help me. For instance, I have to take out two tanks. How am I suppose to do that with a military rifle, shotgun, and pistols? You can't that's how.
The game is extremely beautiful though. I'm tempted to hook my computer to the TV and see the world on a 42 in. TV. I have an HDMI to DVI adapter and my 8800 GTX does have a DVI out.
Anyways I'm going to play some video games or something.
Later.
