My orange box

It was when Windows Vista was first launched when I doubted it. I hated how it was so hardware demanding and how poorly it was made to run with other software's, games and utilities. Now after a few months of release and a mishap of my own, I am running Windows Vista Ultimate. Yeah! I am 120% liking it each and every way it was made. Updates ran smoothly, interface needs getting used to and the way it looks is pretty impressive. I must say, they did a good job. Now with Service Pack 1 and Direct X 10.1 on the horizon, its only going to improve. I left behind my Windows XP SP2 because of how crappy it ran my games! haha...yes, its all about gaming for me. Bioshock crashed everytime I load it, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was a lag-fest, the only thing decent enough game that it ran was G.R.A.W. 2 (and by the way, it was a good game although crappy thing about it is that it was too short. haha). So with games not playing correctly, I had no choice but to run them in Vista. To my surprise, it is very stable. Bioshock with dx10 ran smoothly...sweet!!! S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was not a lag-fest anymore...nice!!! and now, The Orange Box...

To me it is a bang for the buck game that's worth buying (and oh, I reserved my Hellgate: London already. Just gonna wait for Data Blitz's sms haha). 5 games in 1 Orange Box...that's a pretty good deal! Downloading it was crappy because it was too slow and there was still no crack available (or am I just not looking enough!? haha) to my surprise, the exact copy I was downloading required you to enter the serial before you can access the installation of the game/s you want to install. LOL! so it was a good thing that I bought it...now I am back to square one...Half Life 2. I haven't finished it back when it came out because of the pretty crappy burning of Sam (our friendly CD/DVD seller in U.M. I wonder where he is nowadays haha) that it had so much errors that I did not get the chance to finish the game. Now thank goodness it runs on Vista haha. Now I am having fun running and playing the game in full settings. Lag-free!!! and is very smooth...sweet!!! thanks to my videocard of course. Now, I am locked and loaded when the gates of hell are opened in London (2 more weeks to go!) :P
