My Gaming Rig

     If anyone ever wondered why the hell I am playing out dated old games like NFS Carbon, when Shift is out, planning for FEAR, when FEAR 3 is soon to be launched, Gothic 1 and 2, when Gothic 4 is to be launched, here is your answer:      Below is the specification of my grand old PC: Processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ RAM : 1 GB DDR2 Hard Disk : 80GB Graphics Card : Inbuilt one with 256 MB video memory (this is the worst part) 15” Monitor DVD Drive: None (thx a lot for the pen drives) and a 9 year old speaker, but still working great :D      This is the reason I always used to play out dated games, but I hope, time to upgrade my PC will come soon :D

Need For Speed World: BETA

     Yeah!!! I got the Invitation to participate in NFS World Beta. I applied for this some 2 or 3 months back and was very eagerly awaiting for the invitation. Several Beta sessions got over and finally I got into the NFS World this time :D      Now the game has two major divisions of races. One is racing versus other players like PvP(normal races has a Single Player option too, not yet tried it) and the other is Pursuit with the cops like PvE. As far as I played, racing versus other players is very hard for me, but very rewarding though I get the last position.      The sad thing is my poor system cant handle the heavy World and crashes like every 30 minutes or so. Afterall, its just BETA still, so no worries.      I ll just post screenshots here… Will write more about the Beta later… My First Race: Got 7th Place Free Roaming   More details, Soon Regards Saiyasodharan

More than games, I had been spending a lot of time watching movies and anime. After I finished with the Carbon, I had been playing many classic games online with friends starting from Age of Empires 2, Counter Strike 1.6 to Call of Duty 2…      In all these games, Sridhar is the one who is accompanying me all the time, whereas Yuvaraj, Vivek, Arun, Jyothi Swaroop, Arun Balaji join us occasionally.      For a few days in these gap, I tried Half Life 2. The game was really fantastic, but an infamous “Stuttering Bug” got me. googled a lot to find a fix, but in vein. So, I uninstalled it.      Tried DoTA and this was the first time, I tried that game. The scope of the game is very vast with nearly 100 heroes with distinct skill sets and very...
