Fortune for Missy

Oh no, is this starting to become a pattern? So I was playing a bunch of Proving Grounds blind matches on League of Legends for the Personal Computer using Miss Fortune. I have unlocked one of her alternate skins in the past but after using that skin so many times, I got a bit bored because she doesn't really look cool in it. So while in the character selection screen, I browsed her other alternate skins and unlocked the Road Warrior Miss Fortune skin on the spot!

That sexy turn. Miss Fortune belongs on land.

I suppose I was getting a bit sick of her nautical themed looks and as you may recall, I am getting pretty annoyed of everything pirates. The skin itself is one of the cheaper ones actually so I don't feel too bad about buying it at full price. Then again, I have played this truly free to play game more than any other games I have actually paid for in my life so spending a bit of cash on it is not bad at all.

Another Sick Game Room Dweller

Since Monday, I have been playing my Personal Computer games with a bit of a downgraded hardware. I have been encountering some problems with my EVGA GTX 670 FTW and after doing some testing  I concluded that the problem was an unstable factory overclock but I didn't even do much to address it because it was only affecting a small number of games, though some of them ended up being important titles like Guild Wars 2, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, and Saints Row: The Third. I was hoping that the new graphics drivers would address the freezing and crashing but after cycling through three of them to no avail, I started under-clocking the thing but I just couldn't stabilize it. It was then that I made the decision to return the card for a replacement. I have my GTX 460 back in my PC while I wait for my replacement GPU and of course, I am noticing the frame rate hits on the more demanding games and I am really missing my GTX 670. Since I decided against cross-shipping where EVGA would send me the replacement immediately while I ship mine to them, I will probably be getting it early next week. EVGA is located in California and it only takes one to two days to ship things between us so it's all a matter of how fast EVGA processes the return. I am still hopeful that they'll ship it out today so that I can get it tomorrow...

I never had problems with a GPU before.

Wii Fit Plus: Minus Health

You may have noticed in the previous Daily Game Log that I have stopped using the Wii Fit Plus for the Nintendo Wii suddenly in the middle of the week. No, this is not an indication that I have abandoned my goal of staying fit nor is it a revelation that the Wii Fit Plus is not working - in regards to the latter, the program was able to actually shed around 4 pounds off me already. I actually had to stop due to injury from using Wii Fit Plus. You see, I had pull my left shoulder muscle and when I noticed the pain the first time, I didn't stop and I still worked out the next day. After that session, whenever I move any of my arms, I would be in a lot of pain. That lasted several days. Then, the stomach flu that I had from a couple of weeks ago came back with a vengeance and I was left rather helpless. I am still recovering at the moment but hopefully I am close to a full recovery. When that happens, back to Wii Fit Plus I go!

It is more likely that I would give up on the yawn-fest Ni no Kuni than the Wii Fit Plus...

New Milestone Celebration

On June 23rd, 2011, my Personal Computer game count reached a total of 300 titles. On June 15th, 2012, the PlayStation 2 was no longer the platform with the most games when my PC game library grew to 465 games. After that I didn't pay too much attention on the amount anymore but this new count, well, it gave me a bit of pause: 706 games! Oh yes, I love PC gaming. I don't think it's even possible to have this many game for any of the other platforms individually. PC game is eternal. It is the future and the present. It is the best place to game, always. Even when the new PlayStation 4 comes about with its questionable, underpowered gaming PC specifications. I surely hope Microsoft will make the right choice to work with their own Windows technology for their next big gaming endeavor versus releasing yet another dull console. Then again, they do like to get free money since people like to pay for that LIVE online multiplayer service...

Let's do a bit of forward-thinking, shall we?

Instead of releasing new consoles, why not release a gaming client on the PC?

And yes, ignorant fools, you can play PC games on your big screen in the living room.
