Heroes of Might and Magic and other stuff.

Check Heroes V's website out. For all Heroes fans out there, I believe we have the best Heroes ever! It's too early to tell, of course, but still. I've played Heroes 1 to 4, and I've even played King's Bounty, Heroes's DOS predecessor, so I'm pretty much psyched out about this one. One thing bothers me, though.

P4 2.5Ghz CPU (or equivalent)
512MB of RAM
128MB graphics card (ATI 9000s and higher, GF 4, FX and higher)
2GB of free hard drive space

Those are the rumored minimum requirements for Heroes V. My gas! My recent computer does not even come close! And I'm not sure I can buy a computer by the first quarter of next year with those ridiculously high requirements! This dampens my enthusiasm a bit, but not to worry, it may be another Ubisoft April Fools' joke. Whew!

In other news, I'm glad that Brian and Greg are still in The Amazing Race! The 2-hour episode last Wednesday really had me cheering for them in that final footrace. I think that was the closest footrace I've ever seen on this show. And to think that Brian and Greg have provided for two out of the three close finishes I've seen this season (the first was with their quasi-girlfriends, Heidi and Megan). I'm glad Ray and Deana are gone. Ray reminds me too much of that evil Jonathan from Season 6.

Go B and G! :)
