Long time no blog....

Wel, I'm going to my first official LAN from the 27-28 Nov. I'm excited as can be we have a team of 8-10 Players so I hope we can get enough practice til then.
The gaming list is as follows:
LOTR BFME 2
COD4
C&C3 TW
Red Alert 3
Warcraft3 The Frozen Throne (DotA)

My only hope is that we ca acctually win 1 of the events.

The lan is in Aggenys, Northen Cape, South Africa.

Hope it will go well..

Cheers! :P

I hear rumors about no Lan in Starcraft 2!!!?!?

Have Blizzard gone mental or something?!? I mean the first Starcraft Rocked and it had a Battle.net and Lan function.... Why cant SC 2 be the same..?

This is the worst thing i have heard since Starcraft: Ghost was scraped...

I hope and pray that in the final release the LAN and Battle.net Functions will still be there BOTH!!!!

I recently had a problem with my PC, I can run Windows XP Pro with no problem paint, listen to music and even use Word, Excel and Power Point but as soon as I run any game requiring a bit of graphics my computer would just freeze up on me and that is rather irritating.

So naturally I thought it could be my Radeon HD 2600 Sapphire card that was giving me the grief, so I bought a brand new Radeon HD 3850 Sapphire card but that did not solve my problem, so now I bought a new Motherboard and CPU (I’ll list all my parts later..). The worst part is that my suppliers cant get me the equipment I need.

I had…
AMD 4600+ AM2+ CPU
MSI K9A2 Platinum (Not that I am a fan of MSI)
Radeon HD 2600 Sapphire
2Gb RAM (No name brand)
And a 600w power supply

I asked for one of the following MOBOs…
M3A32-MVP Deluxe/WiFi-AP ASUS
K9A2 Platinum MSI (My old board)
GA-MA790FX-DQ6 Gigabyte
GA-MA790FX-DS5 Gigabyte
PC-AM2RD790 Sapphire

There reply was that they cant supply me with one of those cause they only supply Intel.

So I ordered a…
Intel® Desktop Board D5400XS
Intel® Core™2 Extreme processors
Radeon HD 3850 Sapphire

All that cost me about R5600.00 (that is about $563.25 USD).
So what do you think about the price (good, bad or ugly).

(I’ll post a pic of my rig later this month)

My dad told me to get a job that after 2 years I still want to get-up and do it in the mornings.
Well the Ideal job would be Gaming but being close to pc is enough for me so now i work as a PC Technician in Springbok, South Africa.

I normaly start at 8:00am but I'm here at 7:30am already, I can't wait for the day to start.

This is a work I won't give up for anything, exept for a better pay doing the same work.

The bottom line is:
Get a JOB you like, otherwise 1 year from now you will get up and think to yourself "Do I really have to get up for this job?".

You know the best thing about being a gamer is the thrill you get from doing something nobody ever did. The best thing is you can even get the thrill from beating minesweeper in 5 seconds (only seen it once, personal record is 7sec).
My point is that you can get that feeling from any game. That is (what I think) makes a great gamer.
