Queuing Up Storm

I woke up this morning hoping to get a PS3. On Wednesday, there were two people camping out in tents by the entrance of Curcuit City. The lines are very long and it's pointless, at 12:24pm, to go to any department store because there are enough people queuing that any PS3 will sell out.

At Shop Ko there were two queuing since 11pm last night. At New Richmond Wal-mart, there were five queuing since 11pm last night. At Hudson Wal-mart there were 4 queuing since 11pm last night. Proving PS3 is more popular than xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii. Haven't checked target, but I woke up this morning hoping to get a PS3. On Wednesday, there were two people camping out in tents by the entrance of Circuit City. The lines are very long and it's pointless, at 12:24pm, to go to any department store because there are enough people queuing that any PS3 will sell out.

At Shop Ko there were two queuing since 11pm last night. At New Richmond Wal-mart, there were five queuing since 11pm last night. At Hudson Wal-mart there were 4 queuing since 11pm last night. Proving PS3 is more popular than xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii. Target has long queuers when it comes opens tomorrow morning.

On Friday, I got to touch a 20 lbs PS3 box and look the back. Touch it before any greedy queuers got it.

But I got the Geforce 8800 GTX installed yesterday for free. The Geforce 8800 GTX is technically beter than PS3. Has more RAM, new API, plays directX 9.0c games great.

MEANWHILE I BOUGHT GEARS OF WAR YESTERDAY, which is a massive technical achievement for Xbox 360 having a better score (9.4) than Resistance Fall of Man (9.0) or Marvel Ultimate Alliance (7.9)

The Geeky 8800 GTX vs. inexpensive Consoles

I’ll make this short ‘n sweet. Today, I bought overkill graphics processing unit called the 8800 GTX instead of previous choice 8800 GTS and 7950 GX2. Why? WinVista; owning some DirectX 10 game (Hellgate: London). The 1080p PC games make my mouth water I guess.

Now, you budget people (was me, but after reading Geforce 8800 reviews I changed ) would most likely prefer an Xbox 360 due to the $400 investing for 2 – 3 years down the road. I originally thought this way too, but I decided that Xbox 360 wasn’t enough so 8800 GTX and PS3 are included for selection In December when I financially able to buy PS3 instead of buying Battlefield 2142, Gears of War, and Final Fantasy 12 because those games just decrease my spending power and I DON’T NEED THREE MORE. There are 50 games that I never played. Furthermore, I had a N64 since I was 12, and a Dreamcast since 14 so it’s normal to continue the videogame trend.

PC games certainly has big teenager population from my knowledge. Diablo 2 and World or Warcraft is all they ever play (especially Circuit City employees). I played Diablo 2 six years ago too. It is the best selling MMORPG ever! Then you got Xfire (my account: renegadeviking) where young men like to join games in LAN/internet clans and massacre enemies and\or get shot at in first person shooter. The Diablo 2 with this messenger doesn’t work very well. People never join my server. It proves you logged in as many hours as you claim you did in Diablo 2 though which is sort of nice.

Consoles are inexpensive and display low resolutions on larger screens than my monitor (AKA 25” LCD TV over 19” CRT monitor). That’s because it’s sold at a lost, and sells more than any PC model (Commodore 64 emulation doesn’t count) Then I own all these above average games that use most of the “console specs”. Also the 8800 GTX is a legimite birthday present.

Nippion Ichi games working on the PC

One day I may play Ratchet and Clank Going Commando or Up Your Arsenal at 1600x1200 on a futuristic PC with a futuristic build of PCSX2 possibly on WinVista and possibly a Geforce 9800 GTX (technically it can emulate it in game now at 5 fps or 6 fps. The FMV works with FFDShow installed.


1280x960 already at 30 fps!

But in 6-8 years, people will have DVD images on their PC HDD with this emulator and the PS1 emulation isn't ready yet...you still require EPSXE. The only PS2 games worth ripping is the nippion ichi strategy RPGs, Stella Deus, atelier Iris 1 & 2 since they all play at 30 fps.

Meanwhile I have problems downloading Panzer Dragoon Saga CD image rar archieve so I gave up. The available nodes didn't do a thing and if I even messaged one for that file, but they don't respond, only logged off.

7950 GX2 Owned!

What is shark teeth? It is Nvidia Geforce cards these days…that’s what it is. Despite the attention on the Geforce 8800 DirectX 10 card, I went ahead and bought a Geforce 7950 GX2 over the Geforce 7950 GT for the MPEG4 ASP, MPEG4 AVC, MPEG2 and WMA/VC-1 hardware decompression plus near state-of-the-art fps in graphics (not counting DX10 cards bud). You never ever win with these things, but you know what? I’m stupid and picked out the best card I saw at Tigerdirect .com so I could keep my hardcore PC Gamer status as well as buying a PS3 down the road.

Can someone just congratulate me because truthfully I have not a soul to show it off too. It’s going to get fucking outdated before I can show the damn thing off! I’m pissed off. I can’t show it off via imageshack just yet!



Yes, I wanted the damn thing so badly. It has a 1 GB GDDR3 with dual G71 core circuit boards so I’m not stupid buying an exotic DirectX 9 card despite Vista/DX10 around the corner. Is smart buying the 1st gigabyte videocard in Tigerdirect’s top ten list? That’s what I did.

Either spend $250 on a performance level Geforce 7950 GT to be able to afford a PS3 on the third week of November or take pride in my gaming rid and give it some love (like installing Geforce 7950 GX2 for example). I rarely get chances to buy things off Tigerdirect.
