Router Blues

So the other day my 5 year old router was on it's death bed. My Internet usage wasn't affected, but my ability to play games online had come to a halt. I never really realized how much of an online gamer I am. I didn't feel like playing any single player game. I only wanted to play some Gears of War 2 with my brother, EQ2 with classmates or maybe some World of Warcraft with my old shipmates. I want to play fallout 3, but I just can't get over playing games online with real people. I could have ran a cable directly to from my modem to my computer but I decided to wait until I fixed the problem. To feel productive I decided to work on my 3DS Max (3D modeling software) homework. That keep me busy for a little bit.
I have replaced the router with a new Belkin router with a nice screen that gives me a bunch of updates like bandwith usage and how many pc's are using my wireless internet. I love it. Well I just wanted to give a little update. bye for now and back to GEARS OF WAR 2!

Chainsaw = easy

I'd like to start by saying I don't usually complain about weapons in games being "NEWB" weapons. Back in "Gears of War I", I didn't complain about the chainsaw. Now in "Gears 2" the chainsaw is extreamly NEWB friendly, it almost can't be stoped. I thought "Gears of War I" was pretty balanced with the weapons system, but now everything is tiped in favor of the chainsaw bandits online. Well, maybe it'll get patched. :(
