Most of the stuff from when I was <12 I associate with being a kid, not being in the 90's, but some stuff.....

Holy shit that double-wipe.
Holy shit that roamer mid.
:o

:O

Everything's so tall! I can jump about everywhere; loving it already (though I've no idea how it plays). But plz, let me jump on that second pipe D:

Everything was recorded locally. The entire VOD does exist, but probably won't be available anywhere until a while after the event finishes.

Ah. /Priorities/ but I'll cut him some slack. I know running a LAN is very taxing.

Thought something was missing. What the heck?

So...anyone up for some tf2? 'snot like there's anything interesting to watch :(

I get that the 640 is the one and only card for me, but now it's back to considering everything else and either spending

You'd be surprised, my brother was happy with with his dell e3100 until last year, but then he only needed facebook and MS word and when I went back to my netbook after trying this, I'd already tasted the fruit and the netbook tasted bitter.

I have another PC back home that still feels fine to use after 4 years; mid-range intel core2duo, 4GB, GTS8800, chugs along fine, but then I don't play tf2 on it. Maybe I should've grabbed that back from my parents this year rather than blow

We keep editing over each other :D

TBH I'd completely forgotten that you don't get twice or half the performance as you double or half your budget away from the mid-range, with cpus or gpus. I remember this now, in fact memory is just about the only thing in the PC market that has this kind of linearity.

I guess I can justify going up to

There's a few that catch my eye between

I've heard their proprietary drivers are the best, but they're a PITA and are evil, but OK. Recommend me an nvidia card, because when I tried to look at the low end nvidia range with a friend we got confused as shit.

Edit: Also he remembered that there used to be this amd are bang for buck whilst nvidia are reliable and give support but have overheat issues. But it's been like 3 years since either of us looked at this stuff. Also, I remember that post about L4D2 running at 200fps solid under linux when it ran at <100 on the same gear under windows. What happened to that blog?

Well I know I average 56 fps right now on the source SDK base 2013, and it's a similar story for regular tf2, though many spots in maps are noticeably higher or lower, even without looking at the fps counter. At the moment I regularly drop below 40 or 30 fps I'm being knocked about or in a particular part of the map, and I want that to end, and I was sure that improving on my integrated intel 256mb graphics would help there.

Edit: I also have other minor reasons, like ubuntu 12.10 not recognising the chip and using a generic driver, which sometimes causes other annoyances, but it's hard to justify blowing

Really? Didn't think it was that low end, but I thought I'd left TF2 forever when I bought this PC so oh well. :/
And it's not a matter of saving up, it's a matter of total cost and a need to be frugal. Put together, I get the feeling I'd be better not bothering and saving my money for something more useful.
