If there was one thing that I kept dearly to my heart for about 8 years (which is a long time for these kind of entertainment devices) was my very first X Box 360(Modern Warfare 2 Edition). I was always a Playstation person but one day decided to make a change. So to me it felt like I was exploring foreign grounds in uncharted territory. Honestly I hated it, the controls were different the style of play was different and even the people who played online were different. but as the years went on I became pretty much an expert at any X Box game and began to love it.
At about the fourth year of having the console, a couple of friends came over and wanted to play games. The facial expressions I saw on there face when I showed them the console was outstanding. It was almost as if the X Box started talking to them. The first thing that came out of there mouth was "how old is that thing? I told them "About 4 almost 5 years!" They replied "don't you think its time to upgrade to a new X Box?" "No it does the same thing all the new consoles do." I said. Of course they would keep nagging me about it but I never budged my opinion. It just had too much meaning to me as silly as it was, it was MY first X Box! The console lasted me for another 4 years and it wasn't even because it had broken down, it was because they had come out with a new console and they were starting to make games that only worked with the new console. So I finally decided to upgrade to the new console. But every once in a while I get back on my old 360 and play games that are pretty much antiques.
The one thing that I hold close to my heart would be my HP laptop that I bought 3 or 4 years ago. I was always into PC games, but I didn't want to spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on a custom tower. Also since I was general on the go most of the time a laptop just seemed like a better choice for me.
ReplyDeleteOne of the downfalls of having a laptop instead of a tower is that you can constantly upgrade your tower with newer and better parts, but with a laptop you are stuck with the specs you bought it with. That just means you just need to know about your machine and not all the new technology that comes out. I have stuck with this laptop for so long even with all the problem's that I had; malware virus, processor overheating, fans not working properly anymore. Even with all the problems that I ran across I never abandon my laptop for new one, I will continue fixing the problems that I run across.
