So 2011 has come and gone and it was another banner year for gaming. I'm a little late getting this up and out there so here we go.

I am the ultimate Star Wars nerd. Why else would I drop over two large on a computer just to play a video game? I was told by a friend that my Nvidia GTX 590 graphics card should be able to run a small African country, so I am pretty sure I am all set for the sole purpose I have in buying this computer: Star Wars: The Old Republic. Now we still don't know when the more...

I am a big time collector of all things Star Wars, and one of my favorite companies whose product I like to buy is Gentle Giant.
