Hmm.... I'm bored....

I've been bored for the last few weeks. I've done all that I need to do from home:
Contact LEA, contact Institute.

All I'm waiting for is a reply from anyone to tell me what I need to do.

These few weeks, i've:
Gone to the beach with dad. and had a chat about things.
Done various uninteresting things with computer.
Worked in takeaway.
Took car out for a lonely drive out to Cookworthy forest.
Get bombarded with snubs from the parents at least once a day.
Pretend to be 'working' in my room when i'm actually napping.

You know, the usual.

The weather has been fine these few days, close to the 30's C.
Nice 'n' pleasant.

I've downloaded the latest Doom 3 trailer yesterday.

OH....MY....GOD. It looks soooo amazing.
I'm sure to kack my pants if i played that in a darkened room with surround sound.
It appears that Doom 3 is like the movie Event Horizon, but significantly better,
bloodier, scarier and Interactive.
Need to save up for a machine that plays it though :(. my 1.33ghz Tbird and Radeon 64 can't cut it.
I'm sure i could play it, but need to turn off a whole bunch of features that you really shouldn't be without. i.e. Bump mapping, and the specular lighting.
without those things, you will not fully enjoy the proper doom3 experience.

I'm not going to upgrade my computer to play doom 3. i'm just saving up for one of these bad boys :)
Liebermann Super Computers
I'm guessing that I need to save up at least £5k for one of these setups.

Is your computer up to Doom 3's requirements? Read this site to find out.

I've got back into playing Need For Speed Underground. Playing everything on hard skill level.
Playing on a well configured gamepad makes such a great difference.
Quite handy that I've got a USB playstation controller clone.
Turning off Stability control really does rack up those drifting points during those uncontrolable sessions,
just need some skill getting the car back in control ;).
