War

Now that I have a computer that allows me to play a bit more PC games, my interests have shifted some. Maybe also factor in that my Xbox 360 is on the verge of being an asshole again and my TV has developed a line across the screen.

That does not sit well with me.

But now that I have a more capable computer that does things beyond just Minesweeper, I have my eyes set on some games that are on the way. For example, StarCraft II.

Now I played the original StarCraft back in grade school and I never fared all that well to be honest. I had a blast playing against my friends though and the thoughts of a sequel brought back some fond memories. But just today I was watching the promo videos for the game and the screen shot above shows a similar sight:

Look at all of those Zerg! Is this even possible?! I know I never really was in the loop of computers and all, but I remember the days when just seeing 15-20 units was a sign of bad things to come. But this? All of this? That is just plain madness if you ask me!

Still I am interested and I am very much hoping that my new computer will be able to handle this new game. But then, it can't handle The Sims 3... so maybe I shouldn't be so optimistic?
