Too Much Gaming?

So Steam went and decided to sell Mass Effect 1 and 2 as a bundle for $9.99 and not only is that a great deal but the Mass Effect 2 was the digital delux version with a butt load of dlc and awesomeness.  Well I had beat ME2 on the xbox but had never played the first one.  Well when you play the first one and then import your character man it turns Mass Effect 2 into a completely different game.  No I truly understand how people that are utterly obsessed with this game got that way.  It is very interesting to have played through a game one way and then just importing a character from the first game completely turns the dialogue around.  I mean the default story was pretty cool but having molded and shaped the story with the first one is very interesting.  When I first played through the game on the xbox version I lost three of my squad mates I am shooting to get through it with no one dying.  Probably not going to happen I also need to get everyone Loyal too me.  I was kind of upset with Zaeeds loyalty quest because man that was a lot of Renegade points and I love going as Paragon as possible.  Well I am really starting to get the hang of using a keyboard and mouse instead of a controller it is too the point that I tried to play minecraft with my girlfriend on the xbox and man I was having a hard time using the controller.

I have been spending a lot of time playing games.  I did actually manage to go a night without playing any games last night ok actually that is a lie I played a lot of Candy Crush Saga last night.  Man I hate that game.
Man this blog is pointless and stupid.  ugh.

First Gaming Computer Build.

OK so I built my first gaming computer and honestly I think it turned out pretty well.  I didn't really have a lot of money so my friend helped my build a computer that is easy for me to upgrade when the time comes.  The motivation for doing this was because I have really gotten into the feel of playing video games on a PC just using the keyboard and mouse just feels nice.  Also I don't want to be pinned to having to get one of the next gen consoles which are pretty much just going to be PC's anyway.  I would rather have something I can customize and update.  So here are the specs for what I got.

I got an AS Rock FX Socket AM3 N68C-GS motherboard.  So far it has been a very nice start up and at $45 it has been very worth it.  With that I am running an AMD FX4100 Quad-Core processor and I the reviews have been pretty up and down on this processor but for the beginning PC gamer like me it has been perfect.  Currently only running 4 GB of ram via a Corsair XMS3 stick of ram I do plan on upping to 8 GB really soon.  For a hard drive I am using a Western Digital 1TB SATA.  I remember a time when having like a gig of hard drive space was awesome.  I just dated myself there.  My first computer had only a 20 GB hard drive so I have no idea what I am going to do with 1 TB of hard drive space.  Haha.  For a video card I am using an MSi N650 GeForce GTX650 and again I am very impressed with the bang for my buck I have gotten with this build so far.  I have a standard DVD-RW drive and am using LOGISYS 430W power supply.  This is all housed inside a RAIDMAX Blade ATX-298WR Super Blade case.  I like this case because it has lots of room to add more stuff to it.

I have been spending a lot of my time since I built the computer in a closed beta for this game called Loadout which is just a wonderful fiasco of great fun.  It is a multi-player third person shooter game that is just a blast the art style is very Team Fortress with over the top animated blood and body dismemberment when being shot.  There are crazy moments when my head is only a brain and eyes or where I am running around one armed just trying to stay alive.  Usually I am not a huge fan of over the top gore but with this goofy animated style it is totally great.  I cant wait for the full version to be released.  Well I am going to go and pretend to work and hopefully get some gaming in this evening.

Oh I am still shackled to my console because I had pre-ordered Bioshock Infinite before I decided to build the PC so I am going to definitely be finishing that up and then also my friend bought me Skyrim for my birthday for my Xbox so I need to work my way through that.

Much Love
