This is why no one should buy stuff from Wal-Mart.

At least at Best Buy, we try to make every effort to see what has been returned.

You do realize that these units will probably take a shit load of resources to build, right?

Christ, all the hardcore fans of any game hit the higher levels of stupid when it comes to change. Just wait for the game to come out before you start spewing moronic nerd rage all over the forums.

I really don't know why the console gamers are going into this thread.

Also, I say whoever has a Steam account should do Left 4 Dead versus sometime soon, or Team Fortress 2.

Is there really a point to coming into a thread devoted to PC gaming to start picking fights and promote console gaming?

ITT: Newgrounds is a responsible parent.

Some games don't even have native support for widescreen.

So I get to see a fat midget Max Payne shoot up other fat midgets.

Just bought Battlefield 2. Even though I suck at it, I'll see you out on the field.

Apart from the dream of getting Crysis to run with everything at Very High at 60fps with Vsync on, parts will become slower as time goes by, and within 5-6 years, there is no point in keeping it.

TWO godlike games for 10 dollars, it's the best investment you ever made.

Fixed

While Half Life 2 has problems with progressing the storyline through the eyes of a mute named Gordon Freeman, Half Life 2 has one hell of an atmosphere, one that I have yet to see surpassed by other games.

That, or you are infected with some form of ADD, and couldn't sit through the first see-saw puzzle.

But don't forget, because you have to buy them, most kids won't be able to cheat.

Should I consider buying the Battlefield 2 pack and the Halo: Combat Evolved PC versions?

I use a widescreen monitor, and I don't want to see distortion of any kind.

Just to note, the recent string of hacking on the console versions shows that the console version does not have mod functionality completely disabled. On the PC version, any downloaded mod from a server will be still activated unless the user goes to the mods menu and disables it, or restarts the game. The console hack seems to act in the same way, except that you can't disable it.

Not true. CoD4 on PC uses punkbuster. Most people that cheat get kicked immediately, along with a console message that every user in-game will see what they were doing.

Sorry.

Not every game is region locked (except the German versions, because Germany hates everything.)

Holy fuck people suck in public matches period.

I've seen better coordination on public campaign matches.

Matchmaking bullshit. Epic Games decided to join on the bandwagon that says they agree that everyone that plays on a console is "HURR DURR RETARDED" and therefore, they can't find a match themselves.

No i borrowed a legit copy off a mate, fallout 3 has no serial code to install there for one cd will install on a million pcs

There is a CD key, while it's for Live functionality, it's still there.

The Game is known for crashing like fuck on pc's due to conflicts with the graphics card

I keep my drivers updated constantly, so I don't see any crashes.

then your one of the lucky few whos graphics card is working smoothly i dont know how many forums ive read with pissed off gamers bitching for driver updates to keep it running

You must be in a forum full of idiots because I use the latest drivers whenever they come out. I got my GPU drivers since the second of April.

Hell, there have been drivers for nVidia GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, and 200 series cards out since April 2nd, and they do increase performance for Fallout 3, and much to my understanding, ATI has also released GPU drivers since the beginning of April. So either those forum posters are living under a rock, or they really that stupid.

also ive seen my mate who has it on his pc with 4gb of ram and a fairly new Geforce series GFX card and its the same problem. the game is 100% console

See above, and I don't even see crash bugs. You are just stupid.

See above, i know what im talking about and ive done my reserch, thanks

Oh, I have done my research. You just refuse to face the fact that you are an idiot.

Hey jackass, I keep my 360 well ventilated, and you know what? It crashes frequently.

Hey cockface, some of us can tell the difference between a raving idiot fan who doesn't know what he is talking about and someone who does.

My computer has a quad core processor and two graphics cards that get pretty damn hot (around 70 degrees Celsius,) that sit in a enclosed spot, and you know what? It does not even crash.

Microsoft designed faulty hardware.

Maybe if you bothered to read the system requirements, you wouldn't have wasted your money on a game that won't run on your P.O.S. outdated computer.

Wait, what?

If I were 18 and there was a meet up close to Northern VA, I'd do it.

I try to squeeze in the occasional screenshot in TF2, but most of them never turn out good.

This is probably the only good one I got so far.

I think what we should do for this thread is post a picture of our gaming rigs just for the sake of it.

I'll probably get around doing so when I get home from school tomorrow.
