The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

I paid about $834 on a laptop 2 years ago and it can still play any current game.

I find that somewhat hard to believe.
But ml is more or less correct, although I would say including monitor you need more like $1000 to play games at full settings.

 

[SentinelSlain]

Well I think it can, but I don't really play many games that would test it very much. Actually it possibly wouldn't even play Crysis seeing as the listed minimum gfx card is a Geforce 8800 and I have the 8600M GT.

Anyway this is the spec:

Intel Core™ 2 Duo Processor T8300 (2.40 GHz, 3 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)
3072MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM (1x1024 + 1x2048 MB)
256MB nVidia GeForce 8600M GT
250GB (5400rpm) SATA Hard Drive

My graphics card is still on (the bottom of) the high end chart at PassMark Software.

256MB gfx card? Most are like a gig now...anyhow, not bad at all but I doubt it would run most newer games.

$800 will buy you a prime gaming pc. The monitor isn't really all that important imo, a decent CRT will work just fine. But this is coming from a guy who plays on his 46" Samsung LCD tv.

The custom pc I bought for $200 has a 8600 GT and it has ran most things I've tried. Haven't tried Crysis though.

I'm being amused by the fact that Rick Astley is going to be playing in Hull next month.

 

[cookiecutter]

Are you planning on selling tickets for the concert while claiming someone else is playing that night?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Haha yeah because that'd be a Rickro--.........oh...yeah. OK. Carry on.

Powerfull Gfx-cards are overrated, I still have GeForce 2 MX in my computer.

Went for a joyride with my dad in his Corvette. He drives like a wild fruitcake from hell and I am glad to be not dead. Went shopping earlier today and bought a bunch of clothes.

ALL HAIL METAL! This is what I just finished doing:

Good idea. I might put a big Justin Bieber sticker over the ticket and sell it to my friends sister or something.


Nah I'm not going, too gay for me

That's some true fuckin metal there.

 

[JontRevolting]

Bananarama are the only band worth going and seeing there i'm afraid!!

 

[SentinelSlain]

Maybe if you fancied them back in the day or something but I wasn't born and I prefer the original version of Venus.

 

[JontRevolting]

I was joking but yeah they'd probably be ok,especially if you were drunk and armed with projectiles.

Completely out-of-the-blue text from Krampus:

Holy mobility scooter. She said where'd you see the nutter butters

Verbatim, unabridged, and not taken out of context. I was confused.
