That's what I'm looking for. Thanks a bunch. Is it worth upgrading to 16gigs of ram? Hah, I figured that out just looking at them. Does it get any better on cyber monday? Then you sir have never seen the average New York City apartment.

I don't really agree with some of this. I play on my GFs laptop all the time and it works just fine for just about everything I play. I guess I should point out I'm not a graphics enthusiast. I don't need the settings at high in everything. I just want something that will play smoothly and with...

I thought I was pretty clear but I guess I need to reiterate this. I need a laptop because a desktop is not an option. I can't lug back and forth between my place and hers and there is no where to set up a desktop in her bedroom in way that's comfortable for both of us. For those of you who...

Thanks for all the quick replies. I really appreciate it. So what is an acceptable cost for a laptop with that type of hardware? Will I stay within my price range? So what would be something that is worth the money? Evil is indeed right. I need something I carry with me on a weekly...

So my girlfriend recently convinced me to pre order Guild Wars 2 and play the beta with her. While my current lap top performed admirably in both beta tests I didn't buy it with gaming in mind and since I will be playing at her place mostly I am in desperate need of a gaming laptop. My PC gaming...

Thank you! I fall with you on this one. As a fellow student of science most of what I (or should I say we) do is based on research and evidence presented to us. It's quite groan inducing when you see the masses jump on an idea as false or heretical because it goes against what they believe in or...

Darn it man you make it so hard with these posts lol. I didn't read every last thing but I read a good amount of chunks to get the gist and it was interesting. I've dealt with quite a few LARPers as well, most of whom were theater geeks, and I think it depends on the crowd. The one thing I can...

Saying I don't care was a poor choice of words, my mistake. A more accurate phrase would be I lack the energy. You'll also notice that I said I agreed with some parts. I just couldn't reply to/read all of it because I just don't have that amount of spare time. I think the big gap is that the...

Ok I'm not going to go through a reply to all of that because the subject isn't that important to me and some of it I agreed with. However the crux of your argument was based on the definition of RPGs. The only definition I found was this A role-playing game (RPG) is a game in which players...

Whoa whoa whoa buddy hold on. Stop talking like you speak for all RPG fans and start talking for yourself. I've been an RPG pen and paper fan long before I was an RPG video game fan so I say this as a player of the genre distilled to one of it's purest forms (the other being completely without...

I would say the closest thing in recent memory was Freelancer. The online was pretty fun if you found the right server. Made a fair amount of cash with a freighter and a couple of buddies running interference when pirates became a problem. Damn fun game.

3 missions? Please tell me which missions you were doing to make billions of isk so quickly. See thats the thing, I could see the learning cure being so much less if they removed a lot of skills that could have been summed up into 2 or three. My main complaint is just how ridiculous the skill...

Thats a matter of opinion. I hate WoW but I would still rather play that then EVE. Not only is the learning curve intense, the death penalties extreme, and the skill system bloated it's also pretty much like every other MMO out there except being not as newb friendly and and forcing me into...

You my friend have gained my approval. Shadowrun is one of the few tabletop games I love. I would love to see a supernatural game based in the early days of American expansion. When men were men and bears were pretty high on the food chain because our best firearms still weren't that great.

if you're into tabletop games look up Eclipse Phase. It may be what you're looking for. I would love to play any of the games listed though I would also love to see games based on lesser known mythologies. Indian and African myth are ripe with all sorts of heroes. From the clever to the...
