The (delayed) return.

So, I guess I forgot to update this stuff (like anyone reads it anyway, lol).
I finally (for some time already, lol) got my new GPU, and it's EPIC.
I mean, really, games that barely ran before (Shift 2, CoD: Black Ops, GTA IV) are now speeding in highest details.
And I was thinking my CPU couldn't handle it.
Those good ol' C2D's can pull off awesome results with a bit of overclocking.

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!

VERY BAD.
My graphics card is fried.
I can browse the web and use xfire, but launching games makes my PC die.
I'll be out of gaming for a week or two.
Keep your fingers crossed about my comeback (with a new Radeon perhaps).
Yours Sincerely,
Bored Shifted.

I mean, have you ever wondered?
I certainly have. What would it be for me?
I guess a mix of TPS, MMO and RPG, meaning it would be a third person perspective game (Gears of War) with RPG elements like upgradeable gear, perks, talents and all that stuff.
Of course I mentioned MMO, so something like player hubs to fuck around in without any objectives (Guild Wars) and various (maybe randomized) PvE instances to farm money/drop gear in (Guild Wars again) not only limited to killing all that moves, but maybe also races, chases, assassinations etc - keeping the variety, (Like in GTA IV or the latest Assassin's Creed - see below).
Obviously there would have to be occasional (at least for me) PvP, but organized, like Battlegrounds or Arenas (World of Warcraft, hello).
I also wouldn't mind an ability to use vehicles (GTA, Just Cause) and being able to do more than just run - building climbing is fun (Assassin's Creed, Just Cause, Bionic Commando, The Saboteur).
That's pretty much it. There have been some games that nearly touched the perfect spot for me (GTA IV, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, World of Warcraft, Borderlands) but there still was something that I didn't like in them.
My hopes for the future?
Brink - looks promising, but it's an FPS,
APB: Reloaded - (that game was good in it's original state, but I think it wasn't worth a subscription),
Guild Wars 2 - really away from the perfect game, but I definitely am going to spend many hours with it.
So, what would be YOUR perfect game?
