Where does one go about learning to build PCs? Internet guides, or did you learn in school..?
|
|
|
21:45:56
|
|
|
This is all so confusing.
|
|
|
21:45:35
|
|
|
Hm, that is true. Especially since that processor will drop in price in like... three months, most likely.
|
|
|
21:44:18
|
|
|
The i7 in that thing is complete overkill for gaming anyway. Go with an i5. Or if you go the AMD route, an eight core FX.
|
|
|
21:44:13
|
|
|
If he would, that would be great. You could save yourself so much money and I don't want to see you get gouged by monkeys who can put a component in a slot.
|
|
|
21:43:40
|
|
|
But. I will say that computer's components are pretty bangin'. Just, they're charging you like five hundred dollars more than they're worth.
|
|
|
21:43:30
|
|
|
Maybe he'll be willing to lend a hand.
|
|
|
21:43:27
|
|
|
It's going to be second GOTY after Ace Attorney 5.
|
|
|
21:43:23
|
|
|
Actually, I think a friend of mine put together a gaming desktop recently.
|
|
|
21:43:06
|
|
|
|
21:42:54
|
|
|
That's about when Final Fantasy XIV's open beta starts, too.
|
|
|
21:42:50
|
|
|
Damn. That's pretty shitty Mike, because that graphics card in there is a generation behind my graphics card and I built my PC for less than a thousand dollars.
|
|
|
21:42:48
|
|
|
I'd post a hype train gif but I'm not a Tumblrfag.
|
|
|
21:42:33
|
|
|
It doesn't feel like the release is this close.
|
|
|
21:42:14
|
|
|
Seriously, just two weeks?
|
|
|
21:41:34
|
|
|
I can wait until the 14th.
|
|
|
21:41:12
|
|
|
No, I don't, unfortunately.
|
|
|
21:41:04
|
|
|
DEMO YES NOW GDGRQERSERDR.
|
|
|
21:41:03
|
|
|
Naughty Dog has apparently stated they're not releasing it publicly.
|
|
|
21:41:03
|
|
|
Because that looks like it's pretty marked up.
|
|
|
21:40:55
|
|
|
Also, Mike, do you know anyone who could put together a computer if you bought the base components?
|
|
|
21:40:45
|
|
|
I'm sure the 6 people who bought God of War: Ascension are having a blast though.
|
|
|
21:40:39
|
|
|
|
21:40:23
|
|
|
On another note, hope TLoU demo is out publicly this week.
|
|
|
21:39:27
|
|
|
|
21:38:54
|
|
Nope. You're mainly paying for the ability to lug it around. That's why I said tablets are better in price/performance ratio. 
|
|
|
21:38:43
|
|
|
I would never seek power in a laptop. It's just not worth the money at this stage in computers.
|
|
|
21:38:05
|
|
|
But I guess laptops at that price aren't too powerful.
|
|
|
21:37:14
|
|
|
I'd probably be up for spending ~400 pounds. Which is like, 700 dollars or something.
|
|
|
21:36:13
|
|
|
You can get a competent desktop for $500-$600 and simply upgrade the graphics card later.
|
|
|
21:35:57
|
|
|
But you can get one that'll run current games on max settings for like half that.
|
|
|
21:35:43
|
|
|
Sorry, talking to Mike now. SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT FIRST.
|
|
|
21:35:37
|
|
|
My fridge can run them now so I won't need much power. Basically 'net, office, downloads and nowt else.
|
|
|
21:35:24
|
|
|
One thousand dollars is the general going rate for a ridiculously good PC.
|
|
|
21:34:33
|
|
|
Not really a PC gamer, except for a few RTS games and Halo 1 PC
|
|
|
21:34:25
|
|
|
Hey, if it's treated you well in the past there's no reason not to return. My only advice for you then is to make sure to browse reviews pretty extensively.
|
|
|
21:34:03
|
|
|
Now it's just figuring out whether it's worth the money.
|
|
|
21:33:58
|
|
|
If I wasn't a brain-dead idiot I would've done that, but I already have no space in my room since I share it, so it's only recently that I worked out how to fit a desktop in here.
|
|
|
21:33:48
|
|
|
Pretty much just need to be able to browse the internet and access Google Docs.
|
|
|
21:33:37
|
|
|
I had an Acer Aspire a few years back I quite liked, might go with that again.
|
|
|
21:33:00
|
|
|
Yeah, a laptop is good to have even if you already have a powerful desktop. If it's just for university, I would go bare bones cheap.
|
|
|
21:32:18
|
|
|
And because of what you just said.
|
|
|
21:32:03
|
|
|
Mine's probably going that survivable route, though I'm already looking into a gaming desktop to replace it just because it'd be handy.
|
|
|
21:32:00
|
|
|
If you're looking for something that can run games and stuff, though, you really would be better off with a desktop. Much cheaper, more power.
|
|
|
21:31:48
|
|
|
I also had an HP laptop that required constant care though. It was such a needy baby.
|
|
|
21:31:25
|
|
|
Yeah, it's a case-by-case thing. I had a little HP computer that ran for four years just fine.
|
|
|
21:30:47
|
|
|
Mine's been fine with my rough lovin'.
|
|
|
21:29:54
|
|
|
If you don't need it for any heavy lifting, an HP will do you just fine. It'll never be spectacular, mind, and it'll require you to be pretty gentle with it.
|
|
|
21:27:46
|
|
|
The worst part about it is the Beats audio integration.
|
|
|
21:25:54
|
|
|
|
21:25:48
|
|
|
Mine's generally been fine. But the webcam broke after two months.
|
|
|
21:24:39
|
|
|
Mine hasn't done me any wrong.
|
|
|
21:24:31
|
|
|
|
21:01:23
|
|
Get a Mac. 
|
|
|
20:57:45
|
|
|
Or you could go the Lenovo route for affordability. Quality on the other hand...
|
|
|
20:51:29
|
|
|
Sony laptops generally have a good reputation. But they're not really affordable. HP is pretty hit and miss with laptops. And Dell... el oh el.
|
|
|
20:48:11
|
|
|
Need a laptop to lug around Uni. tablets? No thanks Jeff LOL.
|
|
|
20:40:02
|
|
|
Or you could get a Chromebook.
|
|
|
20:39:27
|
|
|
You'd be better off buying a desktop than laptop at this point. Better bang for your buck. If you want portability, same deal with a tablet.
|
|
|
20:31:59
|
|
|
I have a PC. It's not old, just budget and thus weak.
|
|
|
20:22:31
|
|
|
|
20:07:45
|
|
|
And given how ancient I assume your laptop is, it would still be an upgrade.
|
|
|
19:51:41
|
|
|
Just get a tablet, son. They're the future.
|
|
|
19:48:05
|
|
|
Someone here needs to recommend me a decent laptop.
|
|
|
19:47:40
|
|
|
Quit my job the other day, starting another on wednesday. Over 3 months of full time work, it'll be nice to have spare cash for once.
|
|
|
19:27:07
|
|
|
Aw maaan. That news was like five minutes after I left for work too. I'M A JOKE.
|
|
|
19:26:11
|
|
|
Ah well. Guess I better post this news.
|
|
|
19:25:58
|
|
|
Why did Rob leave us? ;;;;;;;;;;
|
|
|
19:23:37
|
|
|
Oh, this was my last day of work until E3 is over.
|
|

19:23:30

19:23:28

19:23:26
|
|
|
Ugh. No matter how much I troll GAF on my off time I just can't beat anyone to anything.
|
|
|
19:23:19
|
|
|
I assume, anyway, as an unemployed person.
|
|
|
19:23:09
|
|
|
Hold out, brother. It will make your time off all the sweeter.
|

Valve can't make games with 3.

I was so enjoying life, too...
|
|
|
18:25:01
|
|
|
|
18:24:56
|
|
|
Until he broke my EVERYTHING.
|
|
|
18:24:49
|
|
|
It was fine for a while, as we danced around each other.
|
|
|
18:24:34
|
|
|
Dropped a Black Phantom into my game.
|
|
|
18:24:28
|
|
|
So pissed at Demon's Souls right now.
|
|
|
17:38:29

I'm ready for the return of medieval feudalism.

There is precedent, after all.

Versus spoiler: Everyone is Lightning
|
|
|
15:53:50
|
|
|
Well, not really clones I guess but pieces.
|
|
|
15:53:19
|
|
|
That would be worse than all the Sora clones there are running around.
|

"Hey, healing? Pick it the fuck up, #12."
|

15:52:49

"We can't go fight that boss, #4 is too busy brooding."
|
|

15:52:22

How could a party of Lightnings ever get anything done?
|
|

15:52:08

Oh God, more than one Lightning.
