First, I am still alive. I'm not dead, I didn't forget about how and why PC gaming is dead and I plan to update this more often once I get a chance again. Not that anyone really reads it, but I might as well throw all of my thoughts somewhere... before I explode.
Second, I am piecing together a new PC. I was going to go all out next year, but I've made a few significant changes in my life and to my future that change just how responsible I feel I need to be with money in the next year. So, I decided to grab a few pieces and put together something inexpensive and that will last me though next year. I picked up an ASUS motherboard based on the 770 AMD chipset. I got my brother's old AMD Athlon X2 6000+ (89w), since he just got a new chip (AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE). I also picked up 8 gigs of ADATA DDR2 RAM. To ice this baby, I grabbed myself a brand new Sapphire 6870 video card. Chances are the video card will be the only thing that I take with me to my new PC, but that's okay with me. I am just glad to have something a little faster than my current set up.
To expand on my "changes"... I got married. Yep, got the ring, popped the question and got married all within about a week. I got to introduce my wife at Thanksgiving as such, it was pretty awesome. I also, if you couldn't tell from this post and previous, got a new job that has been very taxing. A new job and new wife can make life pretty hectic. I do well to even play a game these days.
And finally, STEAM SALES. Sure, they just started... but... come on! How many times can you put the same games on sale in a year? Why do you constantly try to get rid of the terrible games that no one wants? Why can't you take REAL games that people want to pay money for and knock off a couple of bucks? I know you'd still make some cash and we'd get to save some. Crappy independently developed puzzle games suck and don't count. GIVE US REAL GAMES AT GOOD PRICES!
