Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Alright after beating Gears of War 2 on easy, normal, and hardcore modes then moving on to Insane mode and being killed for the 39th time by the same stupid Locust on a turret and only getting past him once just to get owned by a reaver because I used up all of my rocket launcher ammo and the person who was playing as Dom with me was some noob who went and tried to melee attack the stupid thing and got himself killed.

I realize at this point that I should probably take a break before I end up getting to agitate.

My friend is also laughing at me because I listen to music by Cab Calloway, The Andrews Sisters, and Artie Shaw while playing action packed games like this...
For all of you who don't know these bands (gona be quite a few of you) that's because they were around in the 20's 30's and 40's and are no longer as popular for some reason.

I really need to hurry up and make my gaming desktop because this laptop (and don't get me wrong on this I still love my computer) SUCKS!!!!! It's not really Shiba's fault. (Yes I just called my laptop Shiba and if you spent 10 minutes around me while I was using her you would know why.) She just came with a crappy Intel graphics card that is no good for gaming... I wasn't looking at that at the moment when I got her because I only needed something for school and so I wasn't worried about the fact that I may want a gamers dream machine later.

Not that anyone is really going to look at this (I'm not the most popular guy here) but here is what I'm looking at.
