I'm going to have to disagree with one thing here: I think Jade Empire blows Dragon Age away. Don't get me wrong, I like Dragon Age, but, I love Jade Empire :)
[QUOTE="SkyCommand"] Hell no :) I wonder if he would let me get one built at a local computer store? Because their warranty is very good. That way, it would be better parts with a good warranty. I'll have to go buy and ask them how much they charge for custom builds.SpaceMoose
I'm not entirely sure you got the reference. Just to clarify, that was an old ad campaign. I wasn't knocking Dell computers or anything. I'm pretty Dell-neutral. :P Oh I definitely remember that ad campaign. DUDE! You're gettin' a Dell! :P I just despise Dell, as every Dell I have had has been ripe with problems after only a year or so.
[QUOTE="SpaceMoose"]Dude, you're getting a Dell.SpaceMoose
dude your getting a dell!Ontain
Dude, he is totally getting a Dell! Hell no :) I wonder if he would let me get one built at a local computer store? Because their warranty is very good. That way, it would be better parts with a good warranty. I'll have to go buy and ask them how much they charge for custom builds.
Definitely the Left 4 Dead games. The whole idea for both games revolves around multiplayer campaigns. You could also check out Call of Duty: World at War, and of course Halo 3 and Halo: ODST.
And to think, both Mass Effect and Jade Empire are available for download on the xbox marketplace, I'm pretty sure. Both incredible games. However, KOTOR blew my mind because it was my childhood dreams of Star Wars mixed with an insane combat engine with great quests.
[QUOTE="SkyCommand"]Yeah, my main fear about buying pre-built was voiced in this thread: the fact that most prebuild companies put their proprietary parts in there (like small power supply units or wholesale mobos) which make it a pain in the ass to update parts later on. What do you guys think about the custom towers they can build at Fry's? Even though the parts are independent, I would hope Fry's would stand by their PC's if something were to fail on it. Does Micro Center also build systems?dakan45
....One world. Alienware gaming PC and you wont have to worry about anything.
Building a computer is easy...you are just plugging cables for the most part,installing a heatsink and turning a few screws. I can understand if someone has never done it before they may think it's hard. But putting together the diy computer desk is far more trouble and pain in the arse. Anyway try and persuade him,show him all the parts. Explain the procedure and just give him confidence that you know what you are doing. If he still says no then you will just need to get an overpriced and crappy brand name computer i guess.

Convince him you know what you are doing even if you dont? Lets just say the TC builds the pc and for some reason eg faulty hardware, it does not work properly, his dad is gonna be seriously mad and say " I told you so" Seriously TC isnt there anyone you know to build a pc for you? Of course there is. I know how to build a PC...dad has just never used one of the one's I have built. So, he thinks it's all voodoo magic to build your own system I guess :P
Let's not forget some old-generation classic shooters like Shogo: Mobile Armor Division and Alien vs. Predator 2! I miss Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate...*sigh* those were the good days :) I'm also a big fan of Red Alert 2 and it's various expansion packs (1 of them I think).

Oh, and ZCrimson, that did help out quite a bit. I'm pretty familiar with the software headaches that ensue when building a system. Getting the parts installed is the easy part! And, what about those systems at Fry's or MicroCenter? Are the parts refurbished, or are they usually new parts that come from well-known manufacturers like EVGA?
