Dawn of a new era

Dear friends and fans-

I hope I haven't lost you for the lack of writing in my blog. But then again, did I ever really have you?

It is funny how life changes and how you have to adapt more to yourself than you do to your environment sometimes. It seems like that is my case most of the time. Change sucks but it is ultimately good. Here are some good changes:

My computer.

I have recently upgraded my computer. Here are some links to some of the fancy parts I decided to purchase:


    AND

I have also installed Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit version on my computer as a dual boot with Windows XP Pro. So far I like Vista alright, but sometimes it has some quirky things with some of my hardware. My sound was working, but now it has a really empty metallic sound that I like to call "tingy." So this change might suck.

I wanted to post my new benchmark scores with my new hardware using 3dMark06. I don't have them on me, but I can tell you I went from about a 3200 to a 6900. Quite a jump and it is pretty obvious in game play.

Speaking of game playing, I have a bunch of new games, but I haven't really spent time playing them. The one I am most excited about is Half-Life2: Episode 2


I feel like the Half-Life game series is pretty underrated, but what do I know really?

Anyways, not exciting, but that is about it for now. Bless you all.

Matt

I didn't understand about 97.3% of that post.

I did, however, enjoy you being with us at the football game. It's always a pleasure to have you in my company. You should do more football games.

Haha, I love that Justin says he didn't get 97.3% because I found it to be a very interesting read. Whatever you do, don't stop updating this blog. I love it, just like I love you.

But I took a step back to re-look at all the jargon in this post and it's pretty funny how much of it isn't English. We speak in code my friend! |2337 h4x0|2!!!

Dear Paul,

I miss you. We should communicate in ways that are not through Matt's blog.

p.s. I miss you too, Matthew.
