And What Do You Have To Say To Your Competitors?

Well well, the 9600 series nvidia card is out as I learned today. I personally love it. It's not an AMAZING card, but it functions quite well and can run all the games on the market. One of the best things however is that the price tag is a mere 179.99, which makes me very happy considering that I have about that much money tucked away in my money-hiding crevices around the house for just such an event. The stats on the card aren't the most impressive I've ever seen (512 GRAM and a reasonable amount of processing power) but it's a step up from my card for sure, which is the good ol' 7600 GT with 256 GRAM. I'm probably going to go on a Newegg.com shopping spree once the warrantee on it runs out (if I modify anything in the computer it voids it, so I'm waiting for it to run out until I mess anything up...cause by then I'll have to pay for it anyway).
In other news I can't wait for this fall. Besides the fact that I'm going into highschool, which sucks, a lot of stuff I've been waiting for is coming out. The two main things are Spore, which doesn't look like a game so much as a "build and control awesome looking cartoony beasties" which is just as fun to me. Also, the 3rd Abarat book is coming out, which makes me jump like a small child who's been given too much sugar. The 3rd Abarat book has annoyed me for a while...considering the last one came out THREE YEARS AGO! Apparently Clive Barker has been writing other stuff and fine tuning the story for Absolute Midnight (the 3rd Abarat), but still, three years.
Anyways, I'm going to go immerse myself in reading the wonderful backlogs of Penny Arcade, one of the few comics that can remain funny while using profanity every other word. Good stuff.
