Oh, and I forgot to mention it has blu-ray.

Man Id buy it myself if I had the money. This is a wicked deal...

I think I scored you a laptop on Tigerdirect for $999.

This has a geforce 8600, and 4 gigs of RAM. It lacks a little bit in the processor, but it should run Crysis alright.

Yeah, Im not making the same mistake I made with Sonic 06. I'll wait for the reviews to roll in first. If it score above a 7.5 average, or if friends tell me its good, Ill probably get it, otherwise Ill wait untill its cheaper or rent it.

BUT I TOTALLY CANT WAI- oops, sorry...

Yeah Dell support is a plus, even if its a little more money...

Sorry, broken link to the HP -

For $1000 a laptop for that kind of gaming is hard to come by, but maybe you can get something close.

IMO, Dell or HP is the way to go.

The key is that you need to upgrade to a discrete video card. These models both use the Radeon HD3450, and start under $600. You might still have to run your 3d games on low quality.

Dell Studeio 15
HP dv5z

Here is a review for the video card too:

MAKE SURE(IMPORTANT)-
-Make sure you have a dual core processor, preferably above 2ghz.
-3gb of RAM at minimum
-UPGRADE THE VIDEO CARD!!!!

Man, if buying used games is this much of a problem, Microsoft should just buy gamestop right now and save us the suspense. This is just stupid, to buy a game you cant beat, and they assume everyone plays online.

No harm in trying to submit it, just dont be surprised if it barely passed.

No, it's just that GoW2 and Banjo are completely unrelated and don't compare, so claiming that you'll get one game before the other is kinda funny.

Yeah bad analogy, I was just asking to get flammed.

Please tell me they're not speaking English.

There's no real voice acting. Just mumbling like on the original. But the mumblings are different this time.

Different... how so?

Its not the same voice clips, and they dont sync with the words, meaning the sound clip isnt the same length as the text.

Lolwut?

Translation: It was 'ok'.

Well, I finally got to play the new Banjo game yesterday..., and I have to let someone know what I think.

Well Ill start with the stuff I like:
- The graphics are great, its very vibrant art style.
- The sound is also great, voices sound good and music sounds amazingly epic.
- Banjo land also looks really badass.
- There is some platforming you have to do to get certain notes/items for vehicles.
- I also thought creating a vehicle and editing it was pretty fun, especially when you can add weapons, or change the body depending on role.

The cons:
- The text is really small, but they should fix this.
- Kazooie got majorly nerfed, she cant even glide anymore. I know this was a design choice because the vehicles replaced everything, but even banjos attacks dont feel right.
- although the voices sound cool, they dont synch with the words. But like the text, they should fix that.

The iffy:
_ The pace of the game is a little slower.
- Some challenges are tedious, although that could just be me.
- The game is kinds forgiving in allowing you to flip your vehicle while in it.

Overall, it looks kinda cool, but I think Ill get GoW2 before I get this.

So what do you guys think?

i played diablo 2 and it was ok, nothing too great about it.

imthinking about prince of persia 2 until diablo 3 comes out, but im looking for more suggestions. anything will help.

timekillers that dont require too much invested time or money is what im looking for.

D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:

Get StarCraft Broodwar, another Blizzard game. Its better than eveything else Blizzard did IMO.

Hey Newgrounds, this is my first collab.
I am making a collab based off of Youtube Poop fads. For those of you who don't know, Youtube Poop is a fad from Youtube that uses various clips from cartoons/internet memes/video games/really anything, and includes either cheesy effects, altering dialogue, or plain silliness.

Some famous Youtube Poops -
Over 9000
What is Spaghetti
Mama Luigi Poop
Scooby Doo Diabetes

Here are a few rules...

- Your entry needs to be done in flash, and actually use flash elements, don't just make a normal youtube poop video in Windows Movie Maker and have me convert it in flash, that won't do.

- I'd recommend laying off the 'ear rape' (not completely, just don't blast my speakers). Were going for good quality poop here.

Here are some examples of what Im looking for:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKg2lM6EK DM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmLrRejI3 EE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3WhxV-9m xw

Flash Requirements:

- Flash 8 or lower (If you own CS3 - Save as Flash 8)
- 550x400 resolution
- 24fps
- Name your symbols (it saves work)
- (Recommend) small logo on bottom right part of the screen.
- (Recommend) a brief description of you in an email(no personal info, just for the viewers to know)/why you joined, itll go in 'extras'.

Nine people can join, but I will not officially accept you until I see a sample, unless you are well experienced. You can submit up to 3 parts, or more if I approve it first.

After I approve your video (please show it first) - send the .fla and author description to jonsother1@yahoo.com
Be patient if I dont respond right away, I should be here 2-3 times a week.
I will also drop by to give advice or break up fights (lol).

Deadline for your part - December 29th.
The video should release around that weekend(Jan 4-5).
Ill push it back a month if truly necessary.

Now good luck and remember "Where there's smoke... they pinch back."

Hey, any parts open here? Or am I too late...

Games I regret Buying -

Sonic the hedgehog (360) - seriously, I spent full price on it, thinking it was gonna be good.
DBZ Sagas (PS2) - very short, laggy, and just plain annoying.
Yugioh Forbidden Memories (PS1) - Its a crappily done spinoff of the card game I use to enjoy, where the only way you can win is by cheating.

Prolly alot more I can think of, but those are off the top of my head.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I went completely lag free for 14 days straight. Then again, we do have a new wireless router...

Well that can be a good thing to mention? You make it sound like nintendo improve their Wi-Fi or something?

And btw, lan adapter really helps.

Must be some kind of sick joke. I mean, I know not everyone hates shaq-fu, but man, #2?

Im sorta a Hybrid gamer, or junkie, I can basically play anything, NES one minute, 360 the next. My first console was a nintendo, and I loved Nintendo and Sega, but I also get a blast getting to play the latest adrenaline pumping games. I will agree HD is often overated, but I cant say I dont love looking at cutting edge crisp texture and beautiful shadow effects either.

Still, Gameplay carries Graphics, not the other way around.

And yes, enjoy the newest and latest games, but remember where it started; and dont force others to play certain games so they can be considered 'hardcore'. I prefer the more casual games like Mario and such because theyre just so far out. Its not ultra real because it doesnt have to be, or it would be boring.

Gaming is like a diet, a well balenced meal of all the groups. Platformers are the bread, and shooters and the meat, etc.

Out of the Box:

StarCraft + Broodwar
Simcity 2000, 3000, and 4 Deluxe.
DOOM 3 + Ressurection
Supreme Commander
Command and Conquer First Decade
Rise of Nations
Age of Empires Gold
Sims 2

On Steam:
Half Life Anthology
Counter-Strike Anthology (DoD included)

Thats all i can think of...

Ike should fill in the void for all anime fanatics. I dont care if hes cheap. I find it funny when everyone else is Ike or Marth, and Im Luigi and pwn everyone with my meth of DOOM (lol).

Makes more sense than MK vs DC.

LOL, this is so rich.

-DOOM 4

I hope it turns out great, I cant judge it untill I see some footage. Itll be nice if they return to the old Hell on earth style, with superior graphics, monsters, and weapons.

-Diablo 3

A good looking game.

-FarCry 2

Didnt play

-StarCraft 2

Hell, its about time. Im so rdy for this game.

-Call of Duty 5

COD 4 was good, but didnt rly impress me a whole lot, so we'll see.

-DOOM 4

lol

-Silent Hill 5

No comment

-Gears of War 2

I liked the 1st, so why not?

-Sims 3

Honetly, Im not rly hyped for this. Ive taken a good look at screenshots, and it doesnt looked like it improved alot from Sims 2. The envornments look a little better, but the Sims look exactly the same.
Im glad I didnt waste thousands of dollars on expansions, because thats what it looks like.

-Serious Sam 3

lol, never played, but it looks decent

Being a big StarCraft fan (also played Diablo), and following SC2's development, Im just gonna say, give Blizzard some time.

When StarCraft 2 was first announced, everyone among speculation forums were saying "OMG! The game totally looks cartoony and like WarCraft 3! OH NOES!!!!"
Its been a year since then, and I can say the graphics have improved alot since then.

Give Diablo 3 time, alot of the stuff you see now can easily be place holders, not to mention that Dev team isnt cadering to the pro-gamers like SC2 is, so they wont be as bound by graphical clutter up.

Give the game a year and see if it looks any better, then you can judge where it might be by retail. If you ask me, Diablo 3 is in better shape then SC2 was when it was announced, itll be golden when it ships.

Now Ive never played the game, and Im not saying its bad in anyway, but no one should come out and say "Our product is better than our competitor" just for sheer competition. I mean look what happened to SEGA, them trying to push their superior hardware, and 'Genesis does' thing.

To me, its just another FPS, even the guy on the front reminds me of a zombie from Half-life.

If theyre doing a series using the GTA 4 engine, it would explain why somethings were left out.

LOL, I must have been living in a cave if I didn't hear the announcement of DOOM 4*YEEES!!!*. I think Ive been too busy following StarCraft 2's development to pay attention to any other games.
