As if to mock me, Tycho from Penny Arcade<\/a> announced today<\/a> that the preregistration period PAX <\/acronym><\/a> has been slightly extended. I would’ve been all over attending, were it not held on the other side of the country.<\/p>\n

I’ve been out of the gaming loop for quite some time. The most exciting game in my life right now is The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask<\/a>, a game that came out nearly 5 years ago (10\/2005)! There have been just as many Zelda releases since it came out as there were before it came out! I am playing the version ported to the cube, so I’m not entirely behind on console gaming, but PC gaming? Criminy, the last PC game that I bought anywhere near the release date was Neverwinter Nights<\/a> and that came out June of 2002, although I probably didn’t buy it until July.<\/p>\n

I’m thinking of picking up a low-end business PC with a Athlon 64 in the upper 2 or lower 3GHz range, slapping 2 gigs of RAM and a high end ATI card in it and rounding off the package with a 17″ LCD display. Once I got that hardware, I wouldn’t even know what to do with it. I’m not sure what the kids are playing these days. A quick look on some gaming sites reveals names like Guild Wars<\/a>, Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends<\/a>, and Star Wars: Republic Commando<\/a>. I’m not sure which direction I’d want to go. It seems that these days most games are played multiplayer over the internet. Last time I had a computer capable of playing modern games, I was still on dial-up. <\/p>\n

Anyone reading this looking forward to a game that I should<\/em> be in the loop on? I hope to release mass pwnzage on the world in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
