Chit-Chat: In which we welcome back Shining Raichu from his extended vacation

The computer games Ive played are Harry Potter PC games and The Sims, which made all my computers crash :/

2nd day of spring
look out window
it's snowing

I saw some snow this morning as well. Its a cold day today, winter dosent want to go away I guess.

Had a snowstorm hit us a few days ago. Snow is still in the process of melting away. Not much of it melted, tho.

Can You Run It isn't very reliable when it comes to HOW WELL the game will run on you comp, but it's useful for getting something of an idea on whether or not the game will even run on the comp. It does have a few problems that need to be fixed, though.

It's not always accurate, but it hasn't royally screwed me over. Yet.

Can You Run It has been alright until now for me :)

I played GTA 3 on my PC only. Any other free games I should try?

Well, that depends.

What kinds of games do you want to play?

I prefer shooters and action. How to verify your specs btw?

Well, Can You Run It usually tells you what your specs are whenever you run it against a game in their database. You can also go onto Computer, then check System Properties to see your comp's performance rating.

As per recommendations, based on your preferences:

- System Shock 2 (can be found at GoG.com)
- Fallout: New Vegas (Action RPG/Shooter); I also recommend the old Fallout games, they aren't shooters, but they're damn fine RPGs
- Quake series
- Doom series
- Half-Life 2
- Bioshock
- Left 4 Dead 2

Click start, all programs, accessories, run, type in dxdiag hit enter.

On first page, processor and memory. On display, the video card name.

I find it more competitive, honeybunny :[

If I still had LoL on my PC I would gladly play with you :[

Here are my system specs...

And my graphics specs

My rating is 4.6. Are these any good?

The video card is weak. The processor could be better. Ram is good.

Starwars Battlefront II
Starwars Republic Commando
Delta Force Land Warrior
Battlezone II Combat Commander
Quake 4
Supreme Commander
F.E.A.R (+ Expansions Perseus Mandate and Extraction Point)
Megaman X4/X5 (The PC version would be hard-ish to find though.)
Dark Horizon
Darkstar One
Tachyon: The Fringe
Counter Strike: Source
Robot Arena II
Heavy Gear II (Pain in the ass to get working on 7 though.)

I'm not sure if these would run with that video card. The above ones should.
F.E.A.R II
F.3.A.R
Deus Ex Human Revolution
Mass Effect 2

These are my specs:

Windows 7 (64bit)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40GHz
4.0GB RAM
nVidia GeForce GT 540M

Mine

Win7 Home Premium
AMD Phenom II X4 965
8 GB ram
Nvidia GT 640
2x 1TB hdds

Yeah I've pretty much accepted that no matter how serious a game I play, "real" gamers will always hate it because it's not serious enough. It's the Toujours curse. :(

Sob :(

Are you getting better at LoL now, honeybunny?
