I got to bed very late last night. Kind of got addicted to Lego Star Wars 2 that I bought for my son. Anyway, as is typical, I’ve had no bloody chance to sleep in. My wife had to go to work early this morning for some inane reason, and she accidentally left her alarm on, so it went off next to me and woke me up, but before I could get back to sleep, my phone rang – standby support call, argh! So I got up to go take a look at the network link in question, to discover that it had come up again 10 minutes previously. As I was about to phone the dude back, he called me and said never mind. Sigh

I have to say that Doom 3 is the scariest damn game I’ve ever played. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve jumped out of my skin already. I even stopped playing it for a few months cuz my damn nerves were shot.
NVidia Niceness

When my computer blew up a couple of months back (motherboard blew), I decided to switch back to Intel from AMD, and see how the P4 processors were compared to the Athlon XP’s. While I was about it, I upgraded my GeForce MX440 to a GeForce FX5600.
While I was happy with the performance of the mobo & cpu, I was less than impressed with the new video card. Its performance was only marginally better than the MX440 had been. Boohoo. What a waste of money.
Anyway, after bemoaning my video card purchase for several months (ok, it’s been almost a year), I broke down and bought myself a GeForce 6800.

HOLY FUCK!
I get a woody every time I fire up a game. I’m currently playing Tribes Vengeance. It’s the first time I’ve ever been able to play games at 1280×1024 with nearly all the settings on maximum. Shit, even with the FX5600, I was only able to play decently at 800×600.
I think I’m definitely gonna give Thief: Deadly Shadows another go. See it in its full glory.
