How much reality can you bare?

How much "reality" can a computer bring on your screen before you feel compunction for doing something really wrong and bad? For some of us maybe the answer is simple but for me and other people the answer will come only after the games will resemble reality in such a good way that we'll not be sure which is the game and which is the reality. I had the chance to download Test Drive Unlimited, the beta version, and to be among the first people experiencing this new "reality". I'm not gonna get to much into detail but I think it's a really good game but there will be more games in the future which will redefine high-end graphics every time taking us closer and closer to photorealism.

Computers and school

How could a normal person consider that I shouldn't receive credit on an assignment just because on the teacher's computer the website doesn't work like on the computer I created it? I mean... it's retarded. I told her to come and see that on the computer (at school) I made the website, it works but she said it doesn't matter, and that she believes me but she wouldn't give me the damn credit! I don't care why it doesn't work on her computer but I used the manage website option in Dreamweaver as she told us!!! If she does that one more time I'm gonna go talk to the counselor. Grrr... I hate school so much...

I finally received my joypads from prizee.com It took exactly 1 month from the day I ordered until I got them. I spent like 10 minutes a day for a few months until I earned enough points and I'm not sure it's worthy but, anyways, I'm glad they made it and I can enjoy games like Flatout 2 and I'm pretty sure now I can play racing games better than using the keyboard.

This is a picture I took some days ago, now the snow it's completely gone and everything is green.

Battlefield 2142

Can someone make this clear for me? Am I dead or I'm just wounded? Or maybe we all live in the matrix...

Battlefield 2142 it's a good game though. There 2 things that in my opinion make it suck a little. The first is that it doesn't have a single player campaign and the second is that it takes such a long time to reload weapons, if you're surrounded by enemies and you need to reload there are big chances you die.

No time for blogging :(

!@#$%^&*())_+ school!!

The video card story (part 2)

I now have the ATI Radeon X1900XT and everything works just fine. I also replaced the power supply with a Master Power, 500 watt. Here are some photos:

The video card story

So I bought this video card, GeForce 7900GS after a long time of brainstorming and problems didn't delay to occur. The system freezes sometimes after 5 minutes and sometimes after an half an hour. I returned the video card for refund and I ordered an Radeon X1900XT from newegg.com but there couldn't be a worse time to order it because they ship only during business days and I ordered it Friday afternoon. That wouldn't be a problem if, as I found lately, the system would provide enough power. So I need to buy a new power supplier for my PC. I found some yesterday on CompUSA at a good price + rebate. Now the $40 one + $40 rebate is $160 and it doesn't have any rebate. I'm not sure what I'm going to do but I think I'll try if it works with the one I have now and at least nothing bad will happen, hopefully.

Developing story. Stay tunned.

Just three Romanians arrive in UK after EU accession

HAHA! Just three romanians! Bhuu! Be scared! Romanians are eating your money!! :))

They were expected to arrive in hordes, eager to reach Britain's borders on the promise of prosperity.

But when the floodgates opened as Europe embraced its poorer neighbours, Romania and Bulgaria, just three immigrants showed up.

These are the first Romanian migrants to arrive in Britain just hours after becoming full EU members.

Cosmin is one of the thousands of workers expected to pour into Britain over the next few weeks after one of the poorest corners of Europe, Romania and Bulgaria became the 27th members of the European Union.

Don't worry losers, now that Romania is part of EU things will get better in Romania.

I think it sounds better in Romanian though.

Happy 2007

For me it was a good and a bad year at the same time. I accomplished most of my goals but I'm not very happy about the near future. That is mostly because the school is starting, tomorrow I have school and only thinking about school gives me a headache. What am I going to do this year? I don't know, probably, and hopefully it will be a better year.

Right now I'm pretty pissed off because I can't figure out a way to call a phone through Yahoo Messenger. It just doesn't work, and it's supposed to be free. It says right here.

Happy new year!
