Surprised I didn’t post this, I think I was too busy spreading it around to everyone else. 
Looking forward to my favorite era of War FPS hitting my favorite game of the moment! Bird bird bird, bird is the word…. 
A Happy Gaming PC

Is an updated gaming PC? We’ll see. The ATI Catalyst 10.7 hit on July 26 and working fine. I also noticed that Creative released new drivers for the X-Fi Platinum as well as new Alchemy drivers on June 16. We’ll see how those go after installing them. Creative isn’t always as diligent about making things better on updates and I really don’t think a company as large as Creative could have a freakin’ slower server to download updates from, I think I maxed around 140KB/sec. on the downloads and rarely did they stay that high. I really need to get my PCI-E X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro reinstalled, I shelved it after the issues with UT3 and how long ago was that? Then again I’ve been playing it recently but with all the updates, I’d hope the crash issues are gone, even if it’s just running on Windows 7 x64.
’til next time….
Halo: Reach

While sitting on endless support calls on my exciting Saturday afternoon, I decided to download and take a look at the Halo: Reach video talking about Forge World. Very cool looking stuff. I find it amazing that Bungie and Microsoft are bringing a very nice editing tool to the console while Activision and EA are dumbing FPS games by taking more and more away from them. Cool vid, check it out. Welcome back Blood Gulch!
Medal of Honor MP Beta

Gotta say that I like it so far. I did the pre-order and now it’s open to people who bought Battlefield Bad Company 2 on Steam.
While it’s only two maps it seems like they tried to make it some middle ground between Modern Warfare 2 and BFBC2. It doesn’t seem to have the constraints of MW2 but not quite the open gaming of BFBC2. I figure that a lot of MW2 hardened vets will hate the game because they can’t use the same strangleholds that they do in MW2. They also won’t like the fact that it doesn’t have tons of combo kits that MW2 does but I actually like that. While I like trying to master kits in MW2, it typically feels like overkill. If you like it, good for you but it’s not my thing. The linear feel of MW2 is also something I’m not fond of that MoH seems to overcome. I’ll admit that I’m a fan of Dice games and sour to Activision and the entire IW “ousting” that they did and honestly wasn’t that fond of them before that for the constriction that they seemed to promote in the CoD series after the early games.
Regardless, if you have the chance to try it, give it a try.
