Another day of the sale and I’ve purchased even more games. Yesterday I got Resident Evil 5 for myself and another copy for a friend. I also got a copy of Borderlands too. I won’t be downloading the latter until 25th December as it’s a Christmas present from my Mother.

I’ve put a few hours into Batman Arkham Asylum so far, that game is awesome and well worth a play, even if you just download the demo! Definitely worth the £14.99 I paid, loving not having to shoot people and the silent take downs.

Dead Space for £7.49? Yes please!

Was planning on getting this one for the Xbox 360 but it was around £14, it was probably completely worth it but this price is even better! ^_^

Now just to find time to play all of these games, haha! Oh, and my ISP is going to kill me again!

Steam have got a five day long one-day only sale where all the offers are switched around on a daily basis. I’ve just nabbed myself a copy of Far Cry 2 (with downloadable content!) and Batman Arkham Asylum for the grand total of £24.98.

Hmm, I wonder what other games are going to be on offer tomorrow to make me part with even more moolah!

No matter what game I play online, whether it’s Call of Duty, Battlefield, Counter Strike, Team Fortress or even Left 4 Dead. The moment your team starts to do slightly badly, there’s always some muppet that takes it open him/herself to slag their team off for the entire remaining duration of the game. This was happening just now on Modern Warfare 2 and fortunately I was on the opposing team, but this guy was really laying into his team. Every five seconds I was reading cries of “TEAM YOU SUCK”, “TEAM YOU’RE SHIT”, “THIS TEAM IS FULL OF IDIOTS” and the like.

The funny part is if the team sucks, he’s not really any better. He makes up a part of the team and therefore should take part responsibility of their crapness. This guy did have 19 deaths to 10 kills so he was no pro gamer himself.

Oh the little things that amuse me.

PS: We owned them 5-0 on Capture The Flag. ^_^

After thinking I rectified the issue on Wednesday, this problem has now reoccurred. I’ve done a little more reading and I’ve find out that one or more of the following may or may not resolve this issue.

- Ensuring the memory clockings are correct
- Adding a little more voltage to memory and CPU
- Clearing the CMOS

I thought I’d try doing one at a time, the first one may well be an issue as I’ve noticed my RAM is clocking in at 1067MHz (under ‘auto’ settings) on the BIOS whereas its intended speed is meant to be 1333Mhz. This has now been updated, and since this my machine has been running a little quicker.

There is also a possibility that my primary hard drive may be at the centre of this as I’ve already received a Windows 7 warning about bad sectors and I’ve had corruption on files such as winload.exe, ntsokrnl.exe and acpi.sys over the last few nights – all resulting in complete failure to boot.
