So all day yesterday I put together my new machine. And unfortunately, I’m using Vista. I really just want to use DX10. Vista is buggy, but my games play great…except for one. Company of Heroes just won’t work. It installs, but won’t patch. But make sure to listen in on the podcast this weekend for more on my system build and gaming with Vista.

Here’s my new card:

And my beautiful RAM:

And my specs via XFire:

Nintendo sent back my Wii. Finally. But now you know what? My component ports no longer work on my receiver. I haven’t used them in a year, so maybe they just died over time. But seriously? All this?

Check out what happened while playing Frontlines with my brother last night:

And, if you heard the recent podcast, you know that my Wii is with Nintendo right now…I hope my 360 isn’t next…again.

This week, we have a full house with Sean, Jose, Dan, and myself. We do a lot of talking about the Wii. Its hold on the casual gamer, and how Super Smash Brothers Brawl broke my Wii. Sean does a mini review of SSB for us, then decides to pass out before finishing his Condemned 2 review. The intro music to this weeks Bluecast is the Main Theme from the pinball game Dragon’s Fury on the Sega Genesis.

Well, it has been a while since the last Bluecast. But we’re back. This time around, Dan “KingGorilla” Brent from Immortal Machines drops by to lend his soothing voice to the roundtable gaming discussion. We talk a lot about how great Frontlines is, and touch on other various industry news.*

*We are using a new recording method for the Bluecast, so this episode’s sound is a little off. Next week everyone should be at equal volume. Sorry for the inconvenience.
