Daily Double

Well today I have two things to share with you fine gents, firstly I am going to start by spreading the news that Crysis 2 has been leaked. This is of course only the beta that is leaked with far less features then the client due to be released in coming weeks, I am still beyond stoked. As I mentioned before, I am a gaming enthusiast...what I haven't mentioned is that it was last summer that I last added anything to my computer. My klipsch speakers were the focus since then. This is no longer the case, audio is on the back burner again as I am getting nervous about how my computer will deal with running crysis 2. I have 2 9800GT video cards running with a 3.0 Wolfdale processor right now. I am hoping to buy a 500 series nvidia (EVGA) card in the near future and overclock to 4.0 ghz. However I am not yet sure that this will be enough of a performance enhancer for my beloved rig. Seeing how Crytek fucked the pooch on giving us PC users a demo of sorts to see how our computers fair...the beta will have to do. I will be soon posting the results of running crysis with direct x9 (the beta does not allow one to go higher then that) for anyone else who is also interested in knowing how much of an upgrade is required before they may play crysis. Before anyone rants about the idea of using the beta or acquiring PC games in general in such a manner, I will have you know that I fully intend to by crysis on day one and this is just a simple measure I am undertaking in order to prepare for the release.

As for the second portion of this post, today I am going to purseue the method of weight loss that I have been hearing everyone talk about but never really got around to trying myself. Being a college student it is not really that easy to maintain a 5-6 meals a day diet on such a diminished budget but I am going to try it. Thanks to my parents I am going to do groceries for the first time this year and buy things that will effectively target my daily nutritional requirements. I am going to finalize a list tonight of exactly what I am getting but am quite open to any suggestions anyone may have. I know that I am going to buy lots of fruit, vegatbles (I can totally eat an onion by itself), cheese, bread (whole wheat of course) and oats. Kinda excited about this aswell, these groceries will be intended to supply half my meals while the rest will be at the meal hall in my residence. Again, would love any insightful suggestions, thanks again go out again to my subscribers for reading and your continued support!

  2. I know how it feels trying to buy healthy groceries while being in college. It's not very easy on most of our budgets. The typical college diet for most will consist of ramen noodles, white bread, and water haha.

  7. Really bummed out how they dumbed down the gameplay for consoles and screwed over PC gamers.

  8. don't worry about it being dumbed down, running on Direct x 9 looks as good as crysis on high.

  11. From one poor college student to another: shop at multiple grocery stores. Manager specials are awesome.

    Also, I highly recommend finding either a physical or digital copy of Tim Ferris's The 4 Hour Body. Not only is it actually interesting, but a couple chapters in it explain the slow-carb diet, which I've been doing for a month and have already seen impressive results.

  19. Looking forward to Crysis 2 here. Although perhaps not as much as other people as I thought Crysis was okay at best, just nothing amazing for me.
