dude. my gaming laptop cost me $750 and it can play most modern games on the highest or near highest settings fine. i ran Crysis with almost everything maxed out at over 40fps. PCs are hella cheap now. this one even has a convenient hdmi out for tv baming.

i still use my mac for internetting/home officing/etc etc, but the pc has taken over entertainment and music stuff.

Was it prefab or did you put together your self? When I finish my externship and start making fucking bills that's the second thing I need to buy... second only to a large tv.

well it's a laptop, so prefab. off the shelf at best buy. my friend bought one he customized off of dell around the same time, paid $300 more, and mine does somersaults over his performance-wise. even if this dies in a year i won't care.

I've run out of PS3 games to play for now so I have started on Mass Effect 1 on 360 so I can eventually play 2.

There's a backstory behind this but I figure I'll just let the post do it's own talking. My real DS of course.

Oblivion is sitting in the XBL marketplace, calling out to me. You guys are making me scared with all this talk here, though.

dawn of war ii RULES. it's probably better than any other game that company's made and that's impressive. haven't played the expansion.

it's a little different though, it's much more "micro." you only have four small squads at any time, but it works. it's totally worthwhile.

Im in that too. Mages guild acceptance quests have been fun. Just did the first few Dark brotherhood missions. Fucking awesome.
Just make sure you don't get kicked out of the mages guild. The quest to get back in is worse than the vampire reversal shit.

I think I got booted because I took an apple off a desk or something.

Got GOW3 and Heavy Rain today. I was retarded and let my cousin borrow FF 13, which he hasn't returned yet. Pop in Heavy Rain... fucking PS3 updates.

I have the 360 version because I think the PS3 version was sold out. Pretty sure there's no difference in the games at all. I traded in FFXIII because I couldn't take playing that shit any more. YOUR HERO IS COMING. TO THE USED BIN. FUCK OFF.

Ps3. Roughly equivalent graphics, ps3 has video recording/YouTube uploading.

When is Steam coming to the Mac already. I want to play the original Half-Life.... AT WORK.

I'm thinking this Friday is a PS3 kind of a Friday, with me playing Uncharted 2 and God of War 3.
