The Old Republic-Great game, hard on my wallet

Yesterday I purchased Star Wars: The Old Republic for my PC, a Star Wars game that takes place thousands of years before the movies. It plays great, very addicting. I see why people are jumping over from World of Warcraft to it, especially since it's a subscription based game and the expansion possibilities are endless. Great for Star Wars nerds such as myself.
However, to run this game I sunk over $200 into my computer. I'm not complaining since my pc has higher end parts in it now. But don't expect to play this on a lower end machine either, at best you'll end up paying maybe $70 on a decent video card to run it. Don't expect to run it in high video specs either though if you pay that little for a card.
My final judgement? Great game, that fact that the game costs $60 then an additional $15 a month is a little pricey but it is an MMO after all with the Star Wars brand. Updates will also follow, as well as support for an already incredible looking game.

What is "DUBSTEP?"



I get it. It's a series of electronic sounds that are used to make music. Like in this video.

But every time I hear those sounds, I picture Michael Bay's Transformers moving in slow-motion. Am I the only one?

Dream Car? I think so!

I'm idly searching the internet and what should I find?  1958 Ford Ranch Wagon "Ectomobile"

Elder Scrolls: Skyrim A Piece of Gaming Art



So a few days ago I purchased Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, the video game that everybody has been saying is great and looks awesome. I gotta say, the hype was dead on. From when it was first revealed up to it being out on the market. You basically play as a dragonborn, a human who can use dragon power in the form of a "shout" like ice breath and fire. Your trying to find why dragons are returning after being dead for a very long time.
But it isn't the story that makes the game so great, it's the visuals and graphics. The mountains of the fictional region of Skyrim instead the world of Tamriel. It's a giant open world game with tons of quests. Dragons fly around and swoop down to attack you on sight. Giants roam the lands with Mammoths. The game is truly one giant piece of computer animated art, and very addicting to play.
