I need to post more.

I really need to post more, this is for grade, after all.

I don't even know what to write any more.

The only drama in my life is over a stupid person in a videogame. About someone who can't get over the fact that he was called a name. One he deserves, by the way. Oh, and he's a 40 year-old. He really should act his age.

But enough of that. I'd like to keep this a mostly drama-free journal. So, instead, without further ado...

VIDEOGAMES

Woo!

Okay, so, Left 4 Dead should be getting an update soon, which is awesome. It's a great game, although I like co-op better than Versus. Campaign is just so much...more...fun.

Gears of War 2 is also being updated. Now I might get people in Horde that know what they are doing!

Also just got Marvel: Ultimate Alliance for $10. Pretty good game, so far. Think I might use Deadpool instead of Spidey, though...Oh oh, and, total geekgasm over this, UA2 is going to be the Civil War storyline. How awesome is that?

Meh, this topic kinda sucks. I want something thought provoking.

Oh, hey, how about OnLive?

It's this crazy new thing that is "going to revolutionize gaming." Uh huh. Sure. Basically, it's a thing that you hook up to your computer, and either your monitor or TV. Then, connect to the interwebz. Now, it's sorta like Steam. Buy your game online, or even rent it. But, here's the difference...you don't download the game. Instead, it is stored on a server. When you play the game, you send inputs to the server, which creates a video of what you are doing, and then sends it to your monitor/TV. Inputs are read (supposedly) 60 times per second.

Whoa, that sounds great! you say. I'd never need a $3000 gaming PC to play high-end games with all graphics settings on high again because it's played on a server and not my PC! you say. Oh, sure, it sounds great, but you are essentially playing a game online. And playing games online means lag. Lots of lag. Lag. In a single player game. Wut?

Lag in a single player game is utterly absurd. It's stupid and pointless. Online, yeah, I can see how playing with other people might cause lag. But by yourself? No.

Oh, and lest we forget, EVERYTHING is stored on these servers. ISP suddenly decides to kick the bucket for the day, because some wire got cut? Oops! No internet! Which also means, drumroll...no games! Because they aren't on your computer! Major bummer, dude!

So, in short, you can have your OnLive. But when the internet decides to go down for a few hours, and you are bored out of your skull, I'll be on my 360 having fun. Or playing Portal on my PC. Or doing other fun things that you could not do.

Because I'm awesome like that.

Can't stop the signal, Mal.
