I recently bought/assembled a new gaming rig. Antec case, Gigabyte motherboard, E8500 Intel, 8 gigs of DDR2 800MHz ram, 2.25TB of Seagate disk, ATI 4870 512M, Sound Blaster X-Fi card, and a Logitech X-540 5.1 sound system.

I reloaded Half-Life 2, Starcraft/Broodwar, Diablo II, Doom 3, and Command & Conquer 3. I also bought Dead Space and Fallout 3. Been playing mainly Starcraft and Fallout 3 recently.

And for the other side of the coin. I'm also playing Role Playing Games (for the folks who don't know, that's like Dungeons & Dragons). Right now I'm running two Shadowrun games (fantasy cyberpunk) and a Paranoia game. I just finished playing in an All Flesh Must Be Eaten game although I missed the ending because I was on call.
