T-minus 10 hours, 45 minutes and counting
Anyone else pumped? okay maybe not.
I think I will play Halo 2 tonight and call it an evening. I just can’t do the 1am thing anymore, especially when I’m nursing whatever friggin virus is inside my nose at the moment. Blech. And you aren’t supposed to drink and drive so I really can’t go get the game tonight. But I want to. You know how it is. I’m 36 and need a life I guess. LOL.
In other news, you know in all my waiting, I’ve come to enjoy some cell phone gaming. I have a Blackberry 7100i, and man it loads the games slow but once you get to the games it’s fun. The magmic games like golf are enjoyable. I found Call of Duty to be agonizingly slow but the one I really like is old school: Miner 2049er. I loved that game when I was a kid and love it now.
As I had mentioned earlier, my ‘workhorse’ PC that I use at home, a P IV 2.2 Ghz/1GB ram/GeForce 6800 is very underpowered for World In Conflict, which leaves me with two choices: install it one my work notebook, or get a new PC. Has anyone had luck with ibuypower? They got a good review in PC Gamer but I’ve seen multiple forum posts saying it’s not so good.

Dan,
I am sort of in the same boat PC-wise. I have a 3.2 ghz with 2 Gigs of RAM and a 7800GS. It is showing its age though. The motherboard is AGP so it doesn’t pay to upgrade graphics cards. In order to “keep up” I need to buy a whole new system. I have checked into IBuyPower and the prices seem good, but I would also like some feedback on how good they are. I am considering just getting a kick ass laptop.

IBuyPower used to be the best, but their quality has slipped in the last couple years.
Building one at home is really the way to go. It’s pretty easy even if you have never done it before. The only tricky part is ordering the right components.

Miner 2049er for BlackBerry cheat code.
Hear me now, love me later.
The code allows you to play any level you want, both in the classic and modern versions. Simply go to the main menu and input Big Five Software’s original phone number (213 782 6861) and then enter the level you want to go and you will be transported there. This is exactly the same way the original game did it in 1980s.
Thx Magmic!
