Christmas here, Christmas there, Christmas everywhere. Once again, the holidays have come and I’ve received more gifts than I know what to do with. I got to hang out with the siblings a bit, and as usual, gained about 10lbs eating copious amounts of food.
I did buy myself a couple old computer games and have been playing Civilization 3 a bit. I’m looking into getting a new video card too. The Matrox is great, but it has no 3D capabilities for newer games.
Lifting has also been treating me well. Liz and I went in today - first time since last week. Last week I was able to do 245 on decline and then on regular bench for sets of 8. Tonight I was doing sets of 5 and was able to do 295 on my last set for decline. Hopefully my numbers keep going up and I’ll get back to where I should be.
We started watching Battlestar Galactica. It’s a Sci-Fi show about these robots called Cylons that are taking over the human world. The humans created them, but they became self-aware and tried to exterminate their masters. A bit like the Terminator movies in that sense, only this show is so much better. Liz and I watched the mini-series last night and have started a second episode already. I think we’re hooked.
I love my Geforce 6800xt. Great budget card that’ll give HDR performance on games like Half Life 2. Mine’s AGP.
Thanks for the tip Justin. I’ve been hearing that Geforce is better than Radeon at the moment. I don’t need anything super fancy, just something worth my money. The board I have right now supports AGP 8X. How much RAM does yours have? I’ve seen some with up to 512.
