I copied the DRM free versions on a USB stick and let my friends play them, thats what friends do after all. I don't really care about giving to charity or the developers.

Why do you not care about the devs? Do you want them to keep making games? I deliberately gave all the money I payed to the devs.

You're not stuck with nothing to play, you just won't be playing Skyrim or Battlefield. Check out some of the indie games on Steam. Braid, Bastion, Super Meat Boy, and others. They are all incredibly fun and don't demand much power.

I had a friend with integrated graphics and SMB ran horribly for some reason, not even playable.

[QUOTE="Jebus213"] ...

What wrong with including one clusterfvck hectic as sh!t map to channel the noobs? Face it, they almost exclusively play that map, so it keeps them out of your way.

[QUOTE="JC_Spot"][QUOTE="Jebus213"] I would have been very happy if they really did do that. There should have been a quiz to determine whether you liked mindless "insta-action" games or "press X to win".Stalkerfieldsis

I have nothing against PC gamer elitism, but you're actually so close minded that you think only those who have been PC gaming for a decade should be ALLOWED to do so. You know how you get rid of the casuals/COD crowd? Make a game they hate. People won't play a game they don't like. Seriously you sound like one of those Counter Strike elitists that has been playing for 10 years and will be playing for the next 10 years and refuse to even try anything evolved because of teh noobs. Get a life.

No, screening players so that veterans can only play, THAT would do what you're speaking of, THAT would be stupid. What he's saying is to discriminate againsst morons, if you're a new PC gamer and what you think is a good game is a "highly interactive and challenging experience that build a upon its predecessors if it has any" then more power to you. If you're a new PC gamer who's idea of a great game is a linear, low interactivity "press 'X' to win" expereince like Uncharted, than you're not bad because you're new, you are bad because you are a simple-minded moron.

Nobody is buying a gaming PC for low interactivity games unless you're into wasting money. Personally I would go as far as to say Skyrim is well down the road to a casual game. But for the record Uncharted 2 is an amazing game. There is nothing wrong with linear gameplay if it's done right. The problem I have is when RPG's or some FPS games become linear when there was no need to.

[QUOTE="JC_Spot"]I guess you're not so much pro-360 as you are anti-PS3.... You have no sources, and Nintendo say they have launch games running at 720p. If it was 3-4x as powerful they could easily do 1080p.phonemug

There's dozens of sources all the way to the leaked specs that came out during E3 right after the NDA slipped.

1080 p doesn't mean much too the target audience of the WiiU. That's just forum cannon fodder. And no new hardware is optimized. It's expected.

PS3 was 720p at launch? You'd expect something 4x as powerful to AT LEAST be 1080p at launch. If high end graphics doesn't mean anything to the target audience why would they waste money making such a powerful machine?

[QUOTE="xXDrPainXx"][QUOTE="JC_Spot"][QUOTE="xXDrPainXx"] I wouldn't dump a Macbook for those reasons, the machine is still a nice machine. Vaio's are just...well Sony Vaio's haha and Alienware's are just re-badged Dell's anymore and you could probably get the same XPS line from Dell cheaper than the Alienware version.

You can't get GTX or high end AMD cards in XPS's. ASUS have the best gaming laptops.

I realize that but he isn't asking about ASUS machines so I'm just filling him on those over Apple.

He may not be asking because he isn't informed, since Vaio, Apple and Alienware are some of the most advertised on the market, where as ASUS is not.

[QUOTE="thom_maytees"]

Did we need another Wii U thread? I think I am seeing at least four of them on the first page of this forum.

phonemug

We needed one because I made it. I always set the record straight.

Are you that loosingends guy on another account or something??

[QUOTE="JC_Spot"][QUOTE="Orpheus88"]

Do i need to upgrade anything then? also. Would it be able to run Blizzard games (Diablo3, Starcraft2)?

Orpheus88

You cannot realistically upgrade a laptop.

So in other words, am stuck with this laptop with nothing to play?

You could play older games or some indie games but no you will not be able to play the latest blockbusters.
