Her Name was Lola

Ok first its name is not Lola, it wasn't named anything for that matter. What I am talking about is my laptop which not to long ago I loved and adored and still d,o but it decided it needed a break away from me. The screen on it has gone and now is being sent to the guru's at Asus for repair.

I now have a loaner laptop for the meantime which surprisingly remind me of my old desktop which is sad or good (this part comes next). The laptop I now have is a acer aspire one. For those of you with no idea what this is, its a netbook aka a tiny laptop.

The netbook was a great idea, as its name implies the netbook is all about everything using the net, and is able to have 3g capabilities. It is about as big as a hard cover book with lid closed and lighter than one too.

Its a massive step downwards from my laptop with my having to be careful how many things I do at once before it gets all confused. Oh the days before Duel Core how I never missed you and wish you were still where I brought you outside and stamped on your balls.

The one good thing is it for some reason has made my type so for a bit I will be updating this blog probably so if you have left thinking someone has finally killed me, they haven't and you overpaid! I will be back from the man who's laptop is smaller than his own head

Total War: Rome II

Total War: Rome II  So it took almost 2 years but I think I finally like this game. It's amazing to me because Rome Total War probably up there in most played game. The hours I have put into the game, and the nights spent trying to take over the known world are so many.  The memory of playing the demo for the first time sticks in my brain in the original game. Taking my force and attacking from the tress in a surprise maneuver just had me my teenager mind lost in a sea of tactics and battles. From that point it was nights spent avoiding homework going "just one more turn" as my armies marches across the classical world. There was something to a game that balanced a great real time war scenario with a simple yet fun turn based system that had you stuck once you started. Years went by, and more Total War games came out, but slowly they just stopped being the Total War games I loved. Looking at them I loved certain parts but the dark era of gunpowder nev...

Sins of a Solar Empire

Yep, the game I looked so forward to is finally out and its a massive...(in anticipation I decide to keep you waiting) amazing. This has been a game to wait for this year, and should win itself a few awards. From massive epic scale battles to easy but interesting empire management, the game is a killer. You start with one planet, but have the option of conquering solar systems of up to about 20 planets and even to a galaxy which can hold 5 solar systems. This means massive empires but no worries on to much micro management, the game has a simple yet still fun way of managing you empire from a side bar which shows all planets and everything inside them. With such a large area to make you empire and for it to keep fun this game will suck away all your free time. It being an rts you will find a hard time to find a place to stop. Trust me, I will try to play this game for only an hour and then 4 hours later and probably some sort of social event gone by, I am still playing and conquering ...

A new Sheriff in town

Hey Folks, won't even go into how long it has been but as tradition, a new gaming machine means a new blog post. Normally I would post if I had upgraded my main computer with something amazing. However my old 2010 iMac is still a beast so I have yet to need to do anything with it. In the mean time Macbook Air and a Macbook Pro have done well to fill any other voids I might have. This being said today I got probably the first time, a fully operational gaming machine. It is not like a  typical gaming machine however. I don't have a huge case, or 2 GPU with i7 whatever in it. Instead i got an Alienware Alpha. This thing takes up less space then a Xbox, or PS4 yet punches even harder. It has a 2 GB Nvidia card in it paired with 8 GB of Ram, and a 250 SSD. It only has a i3 processor but this is a machine meant for games. It is not meant to destroy frame rates, or edit movies however compared to the 2010 1 GB ATI card in my iMac it can beat the pants off of it for sure. I have yet ...
