Video Game front:
I took a look at my actual computer specs and exactly where I fall short. Good news is that I make the requirement for RAM. I think what was stuck in my head was that I had half gig. of RAM, I just had two of them making one full gig.
Where I fall utterly short is on my graphics card. Which I might add was not purchased by me but handed down from my roommie. He has a better hand me down graphics card but the real problem is this: We tried to put in a better card into my mother board and found that it didn't work. See, I need a new mother board that can handle the higher end graphics cards. So, yah, I'm right where I started only now with proof. At least Wrath of the Lich King comes out soon and I know WoW works on my computer.
Web Comics:
Many thanks to all who have submitted comics for me to read. I hope some of you have enjoyed the ones I posted for you. I know some of you have stayed up late reading the Goblins comic but now you know what I am talking about... It's sooooo good! Anyway I wanted to review some of the ones I have read:
The Zombie Hunters:

Thanks to![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) aliskye for this one. Written by a young lady in Canada based off of a dream she had so most of the characters are based on real life friends of hers. I have to say that this one is well crafted and well illustrated. Rated R by the way for wicked zombie action! I enjoyed this one but it was all too short. Incredible lore written into the different kind of zombies, the spread of the disease and the type of society that grows around just surviving a zombie holocost. Good stuff!
Girl Genius:

Thanks to Marion. This one took me awhile to get into. An awful lot of reading before the cool clanks and stuff start to come out and our heroine starts to come into her own. The story is a little much sometimes since it really comepletely revolves around the main character. The story is seemingly contrived for the absurd style comedy effect but not too bad. One thing I have to say is I like the portrayal of men in the story. Too often when a story is written about romance (female version of romance as opposed to male version, someday I'll write an essay on this) the men are portrayed very poorly. Most often when seeing these so called "men" it makes me want to reach into my computer and slap the snot out of them. They just don't seem human. For the most part, in this comic the men are real. They're human. Well, they're a little quirky but so is the rest of the comic. This one is not may favorite but it was entertaining. Seemed like it might make a fun tabletop RPG. |
