Re: Official Video Games Thread VI: Somebody set us up the bomb

I think I've decided what I want for my PC. Ultimately I decided I am willing to pay more to start with current hardware and I have the flexibility to do so moneywise.

So I am going to go with the Intel i7 CPU (I don't trust AMD drivers anymore), 16 GB RAM, the Nvidia GTX 590 GPU, a 256GB SSD for my main HDD and a 1TB regular HDD drive as my storage space. Also finally going to upgrade my OS to Windows 7.

Would it have the same HDD space though? I don't really want a new 4GB Xbox that I then have to spend $200+ on for a bigger HDD.

Mine three.

Keeping with my tendency to be about 2 years behind the times with video games, I finished my first run through of Dragon Age: Origins last night (as a dwarf warrior). Loved it. Thinking about going directly into another play through of it as a mage...or going to one of the other games sitting in a pile waiting to be played. Assassin's Creed 2, Fallout 3, or more DA:O? Decisions, decisions...
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread VI: Somebody set us up the bomb

Does anybody know of a reliable place to get game emulators? I'm looking to get a Warcraft II emulator because III isn't nearly as fun. I tried running II on my XP machine using the licensed disc, but it craps out when a lot of action hits - so about level three or four. I can't imagine loading it onto my Windows 7 machine would work any better.

Ubisoft Sale week on Steam (Assassins Creed, Il-Sturmovik, etc).
Currently 100 items on sale (of all kinds).

Dungeons might be worth it at $19.99 (-50%)

Got that email today as well. Sony's really working hard to try to make up.
