Status report: PC (Albert 'the racist dragon' Bezman)

Hello people of the internets, first off: The Old Republic beta anyone? (http://www.swtor.com/user/register). Unsurprisingly, the site for sign ups has crashed due to the number of applicants, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it is full by the time you read this. Shame.
Secondly, we have a somewhat controversial piece of news (http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/102/1028810p1.html), and that is of a new counter-strike, which is not made by Valve, but made by some crazy Korean who claims he created counter-strike. Yea right, we all know Koreans don’t play video-games. For me personally, this looks like another way to cash in on the counter-strike franchise by adding minor improvements. The game lacks a new engine, better graphics, and stable publisher support (Counter-strike without Valve is like portal without cake). However, I’m sure you all have your own views on this, which I’m looking forward to reading after last week’s rather ... interesting ‘debate’.
Thirdly, we have this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD0AdV6-rAY , which frankly, is hilarious. Bitch. Oh and I also love Mass Effect and everyone should play it.
Lastly, I’m going to close off this week for the PC with this: http://kotaku.com/5367526/this-alienware-pc-has-motorized-racing-vents. Yes, that PC just transformed, and I just had a nerdgasm.
That’s it from the B man for this week, but with any luck, I should have an epic article on great PC RPG’s next week.

Comments?
