Gaming, Modding and Computing Stuff.
Well, the pricing for Windows 7 was finally announced. Does Microsoft think money grows on trees or that consumers are really that desperate for a new operating system? Windows 7 Ultimate retail in Australia will be a ridiculous $469 and $429 for upgrade. While, Professional is $399 for an upgrade, $449 at retail. Home Premium will cost $299 for the full version and $199 for an upgrade. So this basically puts a hole in my plan to buy a new computer when Windows 7 comes out on October 22 later this year. I would be willing to spend $470 on a graphics card or CPU, but not an O/S! And forget about the offer to buy Windows Vista to upgrade for little cost.
More gaming this week, trying to make up for the lack of gaming created by university. I've gotten a little rusty in some games, so I have to do some refreshing. Had a good game of Supreme Commander though, my friend and I against 6 adaptive (hard AI) on a 81x81km map, boy it was fun, but as you know it takes ages to play one match. This match took about 5 hours but resulted in multiple nukings and victory.
General Stuff.
Camp...it was fun except that it rained, rained and then rained some more. Australia needs more rain, water reservoirs are pretty low in capacity, so I'm happy in that aspect, but I wish it didn't rain on the 3 days I was camping. It was cold, nice and muddy too!, did I mention I was camping on a mountain? Steep slopes of mud that people call roads made the drive up the mountain was a little "hairy". But it's was good.
OK you may be wondering about the title of this blog. Well, you may or may not remember that little incident on the train with the gang. Well, this time I was walking home and as I'm walking past a driveway of a house I heard a shout of "What! You want to start something c***!". I turn and see this huge islander guy walking towards me. You can probably guess what I did next...I left the area by spiriting as fast as possible. Not going to take any chances. So as you see, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm some sort of aggression magnet, I don't think I did any thing to provoke that response. I really don't want anything like this to happen again. Any of you guys have any ideas why this might be happening?
Gaming. Building Stuff. Thinking. Talk later.
Good Gaming and Good Modding.
