Its so shiny.

I got me a new toy.. Sony Viao. It kicks seven shades out of my desktop p.c. So far I ain't got round to really pushing its capabilities but I did try the Unreal 2004 demo, which it had no problem with.. no slowdown, no sluggish response. Nice.
Huge installer though, even for the demo, over 200 megs. I'm assured by someone more au-fait with the gaming SOTA that this is 'cause 64bit textures are the norm these days(back in my day we didn't have textures, and we liked it!), and that the full install is 6Gb! Which I think is daft. but that's probably just because I only have 40gb space on my laptop which don't equate to many games at 6Gb a pop.

the incredibles - now this looks funny!
Garfield - this I'm not so sure.

That's enough for now. Maybe more later.

Yeah, but you don't carry a stack of games on your laptop - you just have the one or the two which you play to death and chuck. Same way you keep all your MP3's on CD and switch in and out periodically - though the vast majority of my space is given to music...

Congratulations on the new machine, I'm sure you will be happy together

Yeah I hear you and If I actually did operate like it'd be fine. But I'm notorious for playing things to death for a very short time and then playing em intermittently for a LONG time.. Hell, I've only recently finished playing the Terran missions on starcraft!

b.t.w : Have decided to christen laptop "Ripley".
