The Gaming Den

[virgil]

My current computing capability is a handy netbook (HP mini something or other) that I got on sale for $150 about three years ago. It can 'technically' run WoW, and I did for the longest time so long as I avoided raids, which was a part of the game I didn't enjoy anyway. I have since quit WoW and don't necessarily have the free time for a lot of games anymore, much preferring tabletop when I find the time, but I like to have the option. I used to have a desktop, but the thing died a horrific death over a year ago, and in a month or so, I'll be looking at finally replacing it.

If you are willing to custom order parts for a desktop and build it yourself, you can get something insane for 500$. I know way more about the laptop market than the desktop market, but if you hang out on http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/

You should be able to put something together if you're decently competent.

Do note that my laptop runs both on minimum settings. Starcraft 2 ends up clippy in 8 zerg games, and Skyrim gives me some harsh-shit when I'm being flamed by a couple mages...to the point where I have to switch to melee, as targetting any sort of subtle magic is impossible.

We got ours from Cyberpower. Pretty nice machines, reasonable price. We were able to customize them- liquid cooling and a ton of fans. I got tired of my machine overheating and having a total meltdown, so I went a little apeshit. I think I have 5 fans.

Soon is when then will become now. Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.
