For as long as I’ve been a PC gamer, I’ve spent about equal time hating it as I have loving it.
I really wish I could just let it go – pick up an Xbox 360 and never look back.
That was me, 4 months ago. 2 nights ago – Thursday, March 9 2006, I kicked the habit. First thing Friday morning, I went out and bought a 360 and have been playing the shit out Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter all weekend and couldn’t be happier!

Sunday morning I was presented with a blank screen after firing up my PC. Switched over to the Mac and everything’s a-ok. Son-of-a! Time for a new video card. I jumped on the local shop websites to see what was in stock. What do you know… nothing! Suddenly my plans to do absolutely nothing turned into a road trip to pick up a new video card. Luckily, I was able to score the new AGP version of the Nvidia 7800 for a reasonable price and only half an hour out of the way. I know it’s time to make the jump to a PCI-Express enabled mother board, but that means a new processor and reformatting so I’m holding out and will just get a whole new machine. I was going to upgrade any more on my current rig, but this was kind of unavoidable. And I’m not going to complain about having a 7800 in my box.
