I wasn't really suprisied.. no really.

So I was reading some stuff online and I found that someone purchased a video of Marilyn Monroe making a guy happy for about 15 or so odd minutes. The story follows.

A 15-minute film of Marilyn Monroe engaging in oral sex with an unidentified man will be kept from public view by a New York businessman who has bought it for $1.5 million, the broker of the deal said on Monday.

Memorabilia collector Keya Morgan said he recently arranged the sale of the silent, black-and-white film from the son of a dead FBI informant who possessed it to a wealthy Manhattan businessman who wants to protect Monroe's privacy.

"The gentleman who bought it said out respect for Marilyn he's not going to make a joke of it and put it on the Internet and try to exploit her," said memorabilia collector Keya Morgan. "That's not his intention and I would never get my name involved if that were to happen."

Monroe is clothed and the man's head remains out of the frame for the entire 15 minutes of the film, said Morgan, who watched it.

Monroe was rumored to have had an affair with U.S. President John F. Kennedy, and Morgan said then FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, a Kennedy rival, went to great lengths to try to prove it was Kennedy in the film.

Now there is a couple of aspects I want to look at. One there have been reports that the video is not her but a look alike. This is hard to dispute since the video won't be released and we will have to just take someone's word for it. So I wonder if her or not and if this is truly worthy of news because this could be on the back burner for all I care.

The other interesting part is how the collector said "...out respect for Marilyn he's not going to make a joke of it and put it on the Internet and try to exploit her." How cute but lets get one thing straight. Monroe was not exactly a princess. She was linked to both Kennedy's and we all heard her Happy Birthday song. I mean I didn't study her but my first impression of her after what I learned, hearing about this wasn't really shocking. I mean come on now. If you release you can prove her or not and if her just be something else to add to her biography.

Let's study this people already know about the tape, now its just a matter of if they believe it or not. I know believing is seeing but sometimes its more. So lets be honest people already have their mind made up, so lets not keep playing not tarnish image. Its already been tarnished by news of the tape out. Now she can't claim it wasn't her or get her image back they way it was. Its gone, and I'm sorry.

Fine my two cents

I keep hearing reports that PC gaming is dead. Well I thought I would voice my little opinion on the subject. I personally believe that PC gaming is not dead and will never be dead. Everyone always says that PC gaming is dead because every 2 to 3 years you have to upgrade or buy another system. This I will say is true, but only if you bought your computer/laptop from Best Buy, Circuity City, Wal-Mart , etc... This places do not support gaming PCs. In that statement I mean that they are for average users and one who might play a game or two but never a true gamer.

I built a desktop system around 5+ years ago I believe. Now at the time I didn't have all the money I wanted so I had to get what I could afford. I bought an ASUS a79n8xe board, an AMD 1800+ , 1 GIG of memory. Don't remember the video card or the sound card right now. I will update later once I can get home to look at my specs. Anyway the processor is about an 1.8 I believe again will update. I wanted Bio Shock game but atlas the minimum requirements was 1.8 and I didn't want to strain or overclock my processor.

So when building a true gamer machine you can push 5 plus years easily. Now that is a long system in computer terms. Everybody talks about once who buy it, it is already out of date. When building they have to upgrade to make yours out of date.

Now lets talk games. There are games that are great for console and PCs. Like Real Time Strategy games. These are made truly for the PC. I don't ever remember seeing Age of Empires III for the PS3 of XBOX360. That's because it is way to hard to use a joystick to play that game. Like WOW (world of warcraft) or FPS (First person shooters). These games show how great the PC system is. Like me I enjoy playing GTA on the console. Let's face it Final Fantasy is just great on the console. I'm sorry but it is. So each system is great but all it all. PC will never die.
