No games yet this week but I might pop into Goodwill and SA after work tonight. But I did score a new computer on ebay last night (well not brand new, but new to me). I've been looking for a new one for a while cuz my laptop finally died. The computer I am on right now is one I normally use for mp3s only. Trust me, a 233MMX is absolutely chronic, even for loading web pages. Anyway, the computer I bought has the following specs:

PIII 1.6GHz
512MB RAM
40GB HDD
8x4x32 CD-RW
12x DVD-ROM
ATI Radeon 7000 (w/ 64MB)
Plus the usual NIC, floppy drive, sound card, modem etc
It even includes a copy of Windows XP plus the discs (and NOT the discs you get with a new PC - it's the full retail version)

The price $129.99 Buy It Now with FREE SHIPPING! I am pretty stoked about it and I think it's a great price.

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (Countdown Clock overlay!) :D
