Team strategy and mind games are whats fun about multiplayer FPS's.
They are getting worse and worse. Completely dumbed down.
Fallout is one of the greatest games of all time.

Its kind of a mind bending experience. What I want to see is Sony hiring the creator of Fez to do a Fez 2 for their VR device Morpheus with it going from a 2D screen to full 3D VR. It would ease people into the feeling of immersion in a trippy and fun way.

It seems like every Sunday the Syracuse area is loaded with Canadian license plates and buses so if you're in Ontario maybe come down to Destiny USA and check out what's available. I always buy on-line, typically through Newegg and typically through some sort of Slickdeal but if you'd prefer to get your hands on the lapper to test it out there are plenty there. You can also enjoy some Pole Position Racing, check out an IMAX 3D, and get a good meal at one of the many restaurants (assuming you don't mind GMO's).

Far from a perfect game. A near perfectly presented story? Yes sir. The gameplay wasn't very good... And that's what's most important in a game. Mario Galaxy 2 was a much better game( but I like Last of Us as a product, more)

Mac's are worth their price though, especially since they are also very user friendly, come with anti-virus protection and typically last much longer than a PC. I wouldn't have minded had they sold my parents a Mac. My parents really only needed a cheap 300$ dollar PC or desktop.
The only reason I could see a PC being a better option than a Mac is if the user is a gamer or coder.

No free shipping.
I ordered the "ASUS N550JK-DB71". Pretty badass machine.
I'm currently on my 2nd ASUS in a row, and I've had debilitating motherboard issues with both.
I will not be buying an ASUS next time.

I was under the impression that Asus was a reliable brand. Gah, now I'm questioning my purchase.

Yeah, that's why I bought the 2nd ASUS. I figured "well, they're a good brand, I must have just gt one of the rare lemons"
2/2 laptops have **** out their motherboard. My current issue is that the sound card drops out all the time, and I have to go and manually enable it every time I want to watch a video/ listen to music.

As someone who is both a gamer and a coder, I still went with a Macbook Pro for my newest laptop. Bang-for-buck, you can get better. But durability, industry recognition, versatility and ease of use are all major selling points.
I also say this as someone who held out on Mac-based computers for an extremely long time. Still don't see why you need a Command button... THE CTRL BUTTON WORKS JUST FINE, DAMMIT JOBS!

Nah, "getting mad" because you're calling it a "boring conversation." If you don't like it, feel free not to participate. Obviously a few of us are enjoying discussing computers.
Whoa whoa, calm toi bonhomme. Concentrate on not dropping your laptop. (Which did however make the weekend better).

That's an Obsidian game. Which admittedly has a better track record than Bethesda anyway imo.

Honestly, New Vegas feels FAR more like a traditional Fallout game (closer to Fallout & Fallout 2) than 3 ever was.
If you like Fallout, I can't see why you would never play New Vegas. It's a bit buggy, but once it's patched, it might be my favorite fallout game of them all.

All over the UK minus Wales and Northern Ireland
Edit: I guess that is not very specific, but I am going with my family, and my mom has more specifics. I know we get 5 nights in London, 5 in Edinburough, are going on a Scotland tour, going to Stonehenge, me and my dad are playing the new course at Saint Andrews

I just dont see thats worth the extra money. My laptop was $630. To get an equivalent Mac, I would of had to spend $1800 to $2000.
Ive never had a PC not last atleast 5 years.
My anti-virus is free and ive never had a virus.

How long you there for? And why skip out on Wales? It's a nice drive up around Monmouth and down to Cardiff. I didn't quite make it there in time to see the inside of the castle, but the ground are pretty impressive.
I did however manage to have a local ale... so my one UK achievement was that I managed to have a local ale in every UK capital city (got to Belfast once too on a long weekend I took)
