Fly me to the moon

Wishlist: Joystick

After getting hooked on Crimson Skies on my Xbox, I moved on to Microsoft Flight Simulator FX on my laptop. Just last week, it crashed (the program, not me) and my laptop kept rebooting by itself. After a night and a day, Chan and I discovered that FX caused a conflict with my Vista OS and caused a restart loop. And hence after it almost killed my OS, I gave it up and removed all my games on my hard drive. I was almost content to spend the last 5 months of my stay here without any games.

You could imagine my excitement when I chanced upon a coursemate who has Tom Clancy's HAWX. The kind of game that gives flyboy-wannabes wet dreams. Fighter jets, dogfights, Gs - all that good stuff.

And so Leo and I got it installed. And we took on each other one-on-one.

Awesome fun.

I predict that I will be getting one of these pretty soon. The best in the market but downside is that they don't come cheap.

BBB virus. Sigh.
