Now I'm a PC Gamer

 Hi Everyone.

My younger brother recently got a PC tower, primarily for gaming, recently.  We've had it for over a week now.  And I've enjoyed gaming on it more than I thought I would.

So far, I only really have one game that I frequently play on it. And that's the PC version of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin.  I've talked about that game before, but the PC version in a few ways is a different animal, pretty much for the better.

First, instead of some strange auto aim where when two things are near your aiming reticule, and bullets tend to go to the nearest of the two, now you can actually shoot at what you're aiming at.  Hence, you don't have to pussyfoot around and hope and pray your aim does what you want it to do.  

Also, the graphics are a huge improvement over the PS2 version.Colors are brighter, graphics are smoother, and I'm getting 60fps out of it all the time.  Even the controls are better.  I know that some may or may not like WASD for movement, but I like it.  Biggest improvement there is mouse aiming.  It makes movement, not just aiming, but simple looking around or simple direction changes a lot more responsive and easier and more flowing.  

 As for the future, I'm looking into getting an emulator system for it for most of my PS1 and PS2 games, and looking at getting some of the Call of Duty games for it from back in the day.

I'm thinking that I'm going to really love gaming on the new PC. I'm also looking at getting a new laptop, not for gaming, but for basic looking up stuff online and viewing photos.  I'm open for suggestions.  I don't need much storage (I already have an external hard drive and thumb drives), and I'm looking for 14 to 15.6 inch screen and a $250 or less price tag.  

Other than that, I haven't been up to much.  I did get a new pair of glasses that I love wearing.  I'm probably, since it's getting colder and such, going to be watching more TV in the living room.  Also on Tuesday, I have a Halloween party with Best Buddies.  I'm really looking forward to that coming up.

 Also, I'm hoping soon to be doing some reorganizing in my bedroom.  Mostly getting rid of something on my desk that's storing a lot of stuff and have the PC tower up there on the desk, and some more room for lighting and such, too.

 Everyone have a good one :)
