Well I've been failing miserible at updating this blog; there are a lot of things to talk about including this year's E3. First off, I'm currently looking for another job; it was nice working close to home but I wasn't getting my rate of pay and they didn't provide travel pay either. It was would have been nice to get one out of the two but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. Epecially now that I find myself with vehicle payments and was buying my own lunch. I've been thinking about going back to another camp job; at least I won't be spending money on food.
Second, is that I bought myself a new gaming a PC with a 27 inche monitor. My computer spec's are
Windows Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz
Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 750 Ti
Total RAM: 7.9 GB
Just recently had to upgrade my video card from ASUS HD 7750 to the Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti inorder to play Watch Dogs on high settings. The ASUS HD 7750 just wasn't cutting it and decided to spend some more money to boost my computer's performance. If only I was aimming a little higher on the CPUr though; when I first ordered my PC, it was the Titan Fall recommend specs I was going for. Turns out I should have went for 3.5 GHz or better processor; unless I overclock the CPU, in which I'll have to get a liquid cooling equipment.

Edit: Then again its really hard to tell since Pixelbit blog format won't let me post bigger pictures.
I've been playing a lot of Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim as well; it was nice to experience both games with modes. Something about defeating a dragon with a lightsabre, so satifying.
Here are bunch of screens that I've taking at high or ultra settings at 1920X1080.
Also I bought a Xbox One for some reason, again just for Titan Fall; but I haven't turned it on in almost a month. Dead Rising 3 was another reason why I bought the Xbone but its been announce for the PC, so there you go.
Maybe I'll post on thoughts on this year's E3, maybe a my impressions of Watch Dogs on the PS4 and PC. No promises though.
Finally some music...
Wait, so the shadows on the ground in the medium settings are more detailed? I honestly like the top picture better. Did you mix them up?
Maybe its because I couldn't get the time of day to match up on both screen shots. But the looks of it, I used the wrong street too; gotta fixed that.
7.9 GB RAM. Last time I was fooling with hardware, 1GB RAM was sick. Obviously, I haven't messed with my computer for a long while. Mine laptop's about five years old now. It's working fine but I'd like to move to a tablet. Then I can play games there as well as write and not worry too much about drivers and such.
Yeah, the video card that I'm rocking right now has 2GB of ram. Just last month I read there was a video card that had 16 GB that cost $1500. Crazy.
Yea, a guy at work told me his video card had it's own RAM and I was like "Ee chee wa maa!" That's Ewok for "wow".
Coincidentally I've been leaning towards the GTX 750 Ti (water cooled) for a build I've been thinking about, but then I watched a video from Tek Syndicate where the Noctua guy hints that Noctua will release their own water cooling system to go with their awesome fans. So my build is on hold, and of course by then I can get more powerful parts for the same budget. Hooray.
Watch Dogs ain't a game to be shown for its graphical magnificence, so I'm not surprised it looks bland in either shots.
Edit: Watched the video again. It turns out I can use another brand's radiator (part of the cooling system, and they didn't confirm it was their own), and they were just showing radiator noise cancelling tech. Sweet.
Watch Dogs, its looks pretty washed out at some parts of the game. I've been trying to look for a fix for that but it seems pretty complicated trying to install those sweet Fx graphic mods.
I'd like to build a PC soon, but other things are getting in the way. Your 27" monitor sounds pretty nice though!
I hope you find a new, better job!
Just building my pc was at least $950, sucks having bills and being responsible though :P
Hope you enjoy your Xbox One. I hadn't considered getting one until they announced the Master Chief Collection. I want that more than Halo 5!
