Considering my user name, you can guess just how badly I want this game. And I will definitely be pre-ordering the super-duper ultra-deluxe version, whatever it may be.
The first computer I built myself used a Slot A Athlon on an Asus motherboard. That computer was still working long after it was obsolete. Heck, I probably still had the motherboard manual until my most recent move, October 2010.
In trying to bring my parents' computer up to date, software-wise, I have discovered that it locks up after about a minute of trying to establish a network connection after connecting it to my router.The machine is pretty old (Duron 950, XP Pro with SP3, 384MB RAM) but I never ran into any...
The Mystique was great back in its day, and my current rig is coincidentally also housed in one. Having said that, new cases with their cable management and better cooling options are definitely the way to go when upgrading the whole shebang. I am torn between a Corsair 500R and a Cooler Master...
There's a new graphite (or whatever they're calling it) finish that I think looks really sharp. Granted, I have absolutely nowhere around me where I can go see what a decent case looks like in person.
One lost me when it went to outer space and became a platform-jumping game. I think Half-Life 2 is far better constructed as a story. One of these days Episode Three might come out, but I surely won't hold my breath.
