Comprehendable Post

Well, I'm not in town, so I don't have my computer. Or my video games. Or my trumpet. Or my pottery. Yes, I don't have much, but I do have beautiful scenery. And internet access. On my last post, many people mentioned that it was hard to understand except for the pictures. So I decided  to rewrite that post in English:

I just got computer parts that make my computer look cool and make my games look good.

That's it. That is pretty much what I was trying to say. Anyway, I ran a program (3Dmark 05) that tests how well the graphics card (The part in a computer that makes games and movies work) performs in games (computer programs for the amusment of the user). It did well. I also got an internal (inside of the computer) fan (spnning blades that keep things cool). I also got a case (what the guts of the computer stays in). Now that I clarified all that, I need to go because people in line are getting mad.

Card, Fan, and Case

Over the course of the last week, my ATI Sapphire Radeon 4670 ddr3 1GB graphics card came. And my Azza Orion 200 case. And my Thermaltake Blue LED fan. In other words, it was a good week overall. I tested my graphics card with 3D Mark 05 and I was amazed. It ran very smoothly, unlike my ATI 200 series that came with the motherboard, which had come with it. The fan looks great, it looks like a mist. The case is great, however, my motherboard had been custom built for my machine, but is was so cramped in the case that I finally decided to build a computer over an Xbox 360. This means that I need to buy a new motherboard. So I haven't quite decided, but I will soon. This temporarily puts my project on hold.Now for the pictures:

WooHoo!

Good or Bad News?

Well, hello folks. Today I read that Halo Reach will be the last Halo game developed by Bungie. This quote from Dan Ryckert of Game Informer sums it up:
"With the Halo franchise out of Bungie's hands after Reach launches in September, the studio intends on going out with a bang. While you'll assuredly see more Spartans and Covenant gracing the Xbox for years to come, the developer that turned the series into a phenomenom will no longer be at the helm.... For those faithful to the original developer behind the game, Reach is the last hurrah as we've known it."

Well, that is bad mixed in with the good. The good part is that there is still Reach. The bad news is that Bungie Studios won't be developing Halo anymore. I look forward to see what else Bungie makes, I'm sure that it will be a great game, but still not Halo.



That was the debut trailer.

Well, I finally decided to get a gaming computer, and my budget was around US$200. My Amazon wish list is here. I have already gotten the case and the card. Click here to see it. As you can see, it doesn't have all of the required components, although it might by the time you read this. I will also probably put together a guide for making a computer. Anyways, sorry for the short post; Amazon shipped my order today, so i'm getting anxious.
