I'm thinking about getting a macbook pro. Those are worth it and have good resale value as well. But a Macbook Air isnt worth it,bad specs for something thats also just really thin.

Yeah I've had problems lol. Plus it doesnt help also that(I think) my hard drive will more than likely be dying soon on my desktop since its been clicking every now and then and everything just freezes. More than likely I'll be buying a MBP tomorrow. I'll probably do a video review of it more than likely,plus it still fills all my other needs.

I had a PC about 6-7 years ago. It ate two hard drives and that was one too many.
Have not had any problems with my 1st generation Mac mini.

I can run 3/4's of the programs I can on a Mac.
To me.. My money goes on stuff that I can use with the majority of the world.

PC Thread
I'm assuming I will be the only one posting in this thread, since no one ever responds to anything I say about PC gaming in any other thread.. but that's okay.
After playing LA Noir for 8 cases, I finally decided to play the Witcher 2.
Wow. I've gone through the prelude, which is around 3 hours long and I am impressed. The combat reminds me of Batman AA, but quicker and harder. I have died many times but everytime I do, I learn from my mistakes.
The graphics are unbelieveable and it runs smooth as ****, everything on 'high.' The tutorials are really weak, as you can run by things super quick, but you just have to spend the time to look shit up in your journal if you have a question.
I'm 6 hours in now and I am supremely impressed. Dragon Age 2 can't touch this shit, this is how an RPG should be made. Challenging combat, beautifully smooth graphics, a seemlingly deep character system and so-far a great story.
I thought I would be pinning for great games until the new Batman and then Skyrim, but this will keep me busy for 3+ months.

I would also like so say that Steam has Plants vs Zombies, Sol Survivor and Trine for under $10 each. All 3 are worth the purchase.

And another conversation starter, in case there is anyone to participate, is Civilization 5.
I will easily put 200+ hours into this game (I think I'm atleast 60 hours in) and will be playing this game for the next 5+ years until Civ 6 comes out.
Easily the best strategy game out there.

Witcher 2. Wow. 6-7 hours in and just wow.
Best game I have played all year and if Skyrim can be on par with this game, I will be impressed. The witcher is such a bad-ass, no-holds barred character, with gore, choices, tits, consequences and everything you would want in an RPG game besides being only semi-sandbox, as opposed to full sandbox.
Skyrim will be an interesting comparison, with it's full sandbox-type game. On the other hand, I feel like punching anyone that was involved with making Dragon Age 2 and then forcing them to play the Witcher 2 to show them what a real RPG should be like.

A Game of Thrones: Genesis Preview - Evil Avatar
Interesting. Not sure if anyone has read the books (the show is so-so, IMO). I would rather it be turn-based or an RPG but we'll have to see.

And an update on the Witcher 2...
I am on Chapter 2 and am still equally impressed. As your character progresses, the more combat rocks because of the options available. Nonetheless, this game is pretty hard. The good thing is it isn't stupid-hard but challenging, in the fact that when you die, you deserve to have died and you learn from your mistakes the next time.
Also, I will be playing this game through atleast twice. I know I have made choices that have completely changed the storyline for the game. Can't wait to play through it again and choose different options to see completely different things.
