I need a better fucking computer.

[crapatflash]

I hate my computer so god damn much right now. And my shitty internet connection.
I just spent like 5 hours downloading the 4500+ megabyte Portal demo off steam, and it turns out I don't have the right graphics card for it to work. It's not my fault, we got our computer upgraded like 3 months ago, i thought it could handle it. Fucking old-ass shitty computer. Anyone have a crappy computer that they hate with a vengeance?

[bl00db47h]

get a mac. There good.

[TheSilverGuitar]

I have a computer that shuts down frequently when there is a lot to load, and it's in my sister's room, so she bitches at me when I'm on there anyway. That, or I just use the Windows 2000 library computers that also suck, but don't have annoying nine year olds.

[crapatflash]

I would if I could afford it... :(
Christ I need to get a job... but I can't until I'm 15.

If you want an overpriced computer, at least get one which isn't shit. There's plenty of readily assembled gaming computers to pick from. Games for Windows got a list.

Don't do this.

Please.

You'll be paying twice as much for the same thing repackaged to look neat.

Also, just build a computer if you want a new one that bad.

I can't get a computer just for gaming ('less i get a laptop) cause i have to share it with the rest of my family.

Saying all this makes me feel so... un-mature.

Gaming computer just implies it has powerful hardware so that you can play games at all. The reason you wouldn't want one is if you're on a tight budget.

[steveo1259]

Youre all just pissed at yourselves for not being able to afford a decent computer, you could just save up or upgrade your current specs to be able to play such old games as portal. And even then it WAS your job to check your computer could handle it before downloading the big ass demo!!!

You can build a budget gaming computer for no more than $700 if you know what you're doing.

Be a console gamer.

A 360 costs 276 dollars Australian (1,946.700 American) and Orange Box costs 40 dollars (246.789 American) and all future releases will be good 'till 2012 when 720 comes out it's full proof and that way you can have a computer that costs 200 dollars Australian (164,880) like me. It's savings all round for the small cost of graphics compromise, PC gamers just try and have a go at me, your only argument is malware cracked games and useless frame rate.

I hate you.

Just buy a new one.

[MilestoneRazor]

I have one of the first XP computers. It can barely handle a game from 2005.

[Sonik-Team]

My advice to you is to learn how to build your own computer and build it cheap. Then you'll have two PCs so you don't have to share. Search the Internet for deals, and you'll be surprised what you can build for less than £500/$800ish.

[New999]

2 things:
Get a better (and faster) internet moniter
Get a better computer (The new Windows Vista is good. so get that. and dont get mac. mac sux! (no offence to mac users))

If your using a crap moniter and using a Windows XP or something that sucks then do what i said and your problems are dead. (and dont get the Home Premium. get the Unlimited (i forgot what its called so im guessing) one. its the best Windows comp (until Windows gets off their ass's and makes a better Windows comp)

What the hell is the point in being a dick about this? Not all of us have a computer just for shitting around. I already have a powerful computer for what I do, so it'd be stupid to spend money on a game console when I can play the same games on my computer, which, by the way, allows me to play at over four times the resolution of 720 "hd". I also get to maintain full control over my graphics driver settings and basically every.thing.else.

Notice I don't give a shit about how other people play their games. If you like your prepackaged game box, more power to you.

Don't listen to this asshole.

An upgrade could mean alot of things. If you got a decent video card it should run portal at minimal settings. If your cpu is stopping it though you would need a new one of those.

Or just get a new computer.

Perhaps you should try taking care of your computer instead of filling Steve Jobs pocket with Jew Gold.

98% of computer problems start with or are the user.

You could always get upgrades for it as you earn money. You can get RAM pretty cheap, so you might as well do that. Or upgrade your processor and video card. BTW, what Operating System do you run? That might be easily upgraded with Windows Update.

If I were you, I'd check 'Can You Run It?' before downloading anything. This way, you can find out if it's worth your time to do. I can't run most games (laptops can't), but I have enough RAM for most games. Never assume because you have one of the requirements, you have all of them. Best tip I can give you.

Mine is ok.
