I’m Gaming Again…

Lately, I’ve gotten back into computer games. This time is a little different though because I have a new (120gb) HDD, as well as a high-end gaming video card, oh and let’s not forget broadband through DSL. Yes, now I’m set to start kicking ass here and there, but mostly there. So, I picked up some games I thought I would like. I got the latest version of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, RtCW: Enemy Territory, America’s Army and Need for Speed: Underground. Ah yes, this will be the games played most often, especially RtCW which is so very addicting.

The problem is, I don’t like playing against strangers, there’s just no intimate connection, so, visitors of my blog. I WANT TO PLAY WITH YOU. If you’re a gamer, and play any of the above mentioned games, or can suggest like minded games that you want to play with me, I’m all for it. Just post a comment mentioning it, email me or instant message me on AIM.

Also, you can contact me on the gaming messaging center, Xfire.

A New Desktop Look

Alirhgt, I’ve gone and changed the look of my Windows XP Pro desktop. A nice, subtle look. Pastel greens and shades of grey. It’s very soothing to use and offers nice contrast against my photographs when I’m working on them.

The desktop wallpaper is “simply DA” by Sycho
*The WindowBlinds theme is “Lila XP” by CaveBear
The IconPackager theme is “Marcintesh OS-W” by Farkusmarkus

* I enabled custom color support in WindowBlinds and set it to the color of the wallpaper.

PLUGS:

FullBleed Clothing Aesthetic propaganda for your body. Provocative shirt designs that’ll have people looking twice.

Lightening Up for August

Ok, my last few journal entries have been pretty heavy, so here’s something to lighten up my userpage. I’ll be updating this over the course of the month with links to websites I think are interesting. The rating scale is disgnated by the emoticon. 1 - 5 with 1 being the least interesting and 5 being most interesting.
