Gaming Geeks Get Game on With Quadzilla!

No, I'm not talking about some new Japanese movie that is high on the cheese factor but a machine that is about to become a cult classic of another kind. This is the new bare bones kit put out by TigerDirect that is sure to make any true gaming geek or geekette for that matter, weak in the knees.

What you have with this kit is an almost perfect start for a state of the art gaming computer that very well may be at the cutting edge of current technology and a force to be reckoned with for an impressive amount of time in light of the rate at which technology is evolving.

You can learn more about it by clicking on the image below. I highly recommend checking it out. They say it so much better than I could but I'll give it the old 'college try.'

4 (count them 4) terabytes of hard drive space, 4 Gigs of DDR2 Memory, and a quad core CPU. This is a bare bones kit so it may be missing a little bit of the polish that novices to gaming and computer construction are interested in. However, at the core of every die hard gamer geek lies the soul of a box builder and modder waiting to go free. This is the opportunity you've been waiting for. If your current PC is on its last leg for gaming performance, this is your chance to get ahead of the game and build a dream box for gaming.

In other words, it's a great start for a kickin' gaming system. See why Quadzilla icon is the right choice for your gaming PC needs.

This is not for the faint hearted or those who only need a computer for a few word processing functions or to "surf the 'net" this is for serious gamers who demand optimal performance. Are you ready to ride the wave and have the best box on the block?

Why Geek?

There was a time when being called a geek was meant to be an insult. The same may hold true for today but there are a few very obvious facts that should take a little bit of the bite out of being called a geek.

First of all Bill Gates is a geek. It's a fact. He was a geek in his younger days and neither his technological wizardry or his not quite up to par social skills have changed much over the last couple of decades. What has changed for Bill Gates however is the status of his net worth. It just keeps growing and growing. Peronally, I wouldn't mind the comparison. He is one geek that has done quite well for himself.

When you think about it, however, there are a great deal of men and women in powerful positions that may have exceptional scientific skills while not scoring as high off the charts when it comes to those pesky little things known as socialization skills.

While I would love it if my claim to geek famedom was my incredible abilities when it comes to computer coding (that we'll leave to the love of my life) or my unsurpassed talents when it comes to MMORPGs I can't. Truth be told I have absolutely no talent when it comes to coding and while I greatly enjoy MMORPGs I can't claim to be really great at them either.

Ironically enough, it's probably these things that make me most likely to be called a geek. I don't even fit the geek stereotype. I have a few social skills, I'm not all that scientifically inclined, yet I remain fascinated and drawn to all the things that are possible, even those that are improbable. I love science fiction, computer games, and useless bits of trivia. Does it really matter that I'm not exceptionally skilled at any of them?

Last Chaos

Have I mentioned that I'm such a geek? Seriously, I don't think they make many girls that qualify on the geek scale quite to the extent that I seem to dominate that scale. This being said it is absolutely no wonder that I am seriously addicted to MMORPGs. That would be massively multiplayer online role playing games for the uninitiated. I love these games in all kinds of genres and settings. The problem is that if you are addicted to more than a couple it can grow to become quite an expensive habit to maintain. Enter Last Chaos. This is a free to download and free to play MMORPG for all who might be interested or those that are simply wondering what the fuss is all about. I hope those of you who check it out find as many hours of enjoyment in the land of online gaming as I have.

Making Changes

It is probably more than slightly obvious to anyone that occasionally drops in to read that this little project of mine has been sadly neglected. I plan to change this in coming months by making this a site that will appeal a little to the geek in all of us. I hope to include gaming updates for both computer games and role playing games, information about our favorite Sci Fi television shows and movies, as well as keep you updated on the latest and greatest and girly gadgetry to hit the market. I would like this be a fun place to visit on your weekly stop as well as a font of information to those who lack the time or the inclination to surf the web for piles of information when they can come to one nifty little nook on the net in order to find it. I will be updating more regularly in the future and hope that some of you who visit will become loyal readers and engage in thoughtful conversation. TTFN!
