Gaming, Modding and Computing Stuff.
I decided to go old school and brush the dust off of the original Ghost Recon. Ah, the memories...running through the forest, getting shot at from a unseen enemies. It's surprising that a game published in 2001 is still appealing 8 years later (to me at least). But Ghost Recon 4 has been delayed if you haven't heard. It's scheduled for a late '09 or early 2010 release. It seems so far away.
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is only a month away! The trailers and in-game footage look so good! I can't wait, but I have to make sure that my computer can handle it well on high settings...I may have to do a little upgrading of the CPU and graphics card, but it seems unlikely.
Windows 7 is about a month and a half away from release. I've been using the RC and it's been brilliant. No crashes or screw ups, but I have to say that it is weird transitioning from XP to W7 and even one of my friends said it was weird going from Vista to W7. Everything looks nice and runs well, but sometimes I can't find specific settings which were present in XP. It seems like they move the setting somewhere else or bury it under a tonne of other crap...oh well, I'll have to get used to it.
By the way, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition is sold out everywhere I looked. So it looks like I won't be getting those night vision goggles after all.
General Stuff.
Stargate Universe looks like a promising addition to the Stargate franchise. The trailers and promotional material look awesome, but I think I'll reserve final judgement until I see the finished product. However if the track record is anything to go by, it will be an excellent series.
I may upload a few shots of new ships I am (slowly) "building", depending on the time I have. One is going to be a cruiser, the other will be a carrier. The carrier is based off of the Lancer, which is based off of the BC-304 Daedalus Class, although it will look more like the Daedalus than the Lancer. (That sentence sounded weird). The Sabre should be finished soon and I'll upload a 3D video tour for that when it's done. But no promises.
Not as cold. But still busy. Talk later.
Good Gaming and Good Modding.

Whats the avg temp there right now.
A little over 20 degrees Celsius. (Nearly 70 degrees Fahrenheit.)
Yea. Im the only one in my chemistry class that knows the Fahrenheit Celsius conversions. It was aobut 20C here too. Pretty cool and nice. no humidity.
Well it was a little warmer today: 29 degrees Celsius...yeah you can't ever trust weather forecasts in Melbourne. In fact today was the hottest day on record for the first half of September.
Cant ever really trust the Weather man. Although theres one here on our local fox station that is accurate.
The fact is that you can't make a reliable forecast in Melbourne. The weather here is crazy; the day before it was 29 degrees, we had 100km/h gusts of wind!
