This question will be for mid-low range gaming rigs which CAN'T run Modern Games at Max res + Max graphic settings.

Which of these do you prefer?

1. Higher Resolution with lower graphic settings.(like 1600x900, 1920x1080)

2. Lower Resolution with higher graphic settings.(maybe 1280x720 or lower)

Please dont tell that a balance of both will be best.

For Ex. I found Mafia 2 runs gr8 for 1280x720 and medium settings. If the res is raised, the frame rate drops badly.

Crysis runs best at 1600x900 with medium-high settings. If I put it the very high, it becomes unplayable.

I'd say go for option 2. I also have a mid-range PC, and I always set res to 1280 x 768, which is nothing high, and increase textures, AA, AF.

Personally, I think 11 inches (which I usually game on when away from home) or 13 inches is fine.

And although this isn't the topic we're discussing, I strongly advise you buy something other than a Mac (Dell laptops are way cheaper) and save the extra money for games. Really.

When I play FPS, my ring finger is used for A (strafe left in most FPS games) and Q (switch weapons), my middle finger for W (move forward), S (backwards), E (switch weapons or do other misc. stuff), index finger for D (strafe right), R (reload) and other misc. keys like F, G, C, V, B, etc.

My pinky is always on LShift or LCtrl. Thumb is always on Spacebar. Right hand is totally dedicated to handling the mouse.

Although if you're using a laptop, you might have problems positioning your fingers due to the rectangular shape of a laptop keyboard.

Although I've been playing it since August, I couldn't help but notice that this game RUNS ON THE SOURCE ENGINE. It just makes this game even more awesome. Anyway, what do you think of Valve contributing to this game, and what do you think of it overall? Also, if you want, include your character names.

Last I checked, Valve didn't do anything with this game. They just give the Korean devs the license to use their Source engine.

James Bond Blood Stone: What does that title make you think of? When I first read that I was excited because I excited the game to detail Bond's wacky detour into old age, specifically a kidney problem and that the game would track his urinary infection in a Sims-style format as Bond has to deal with this and other daily problems before he can prove he is "hip" again.

Like, he got stone stuck in his kidney? I could never think of that.

I'm a huge Sam and Max fan, so I pre-ordered it ages before these TF2 items were announced (and even before the game was announced on Steam, I think).Planeforger


So you bought it through the Telltale Store? Do you still get TF2 hats that way? Just asking.

It's among the top sellers on Steam by the way.

I was like "Meh, I don't play Poker. Not buying" and then "Holy crap TF2 hats! Sold!"
