My desktop works perfectly fine, in fact it's in very good shape given its age, but... it can't handle games. I haven't tried Sims 2 on it but I'm sure it won't cope. And if it won't cope with Sims 2, no chance it'll cope with anything that comes out these days, let's be honest.

Lookinig at gaming PCs. They are so very expensive. Given that I seem to go through phases when it comes to PC gaming, and I already have a desktop AND a laptop, I just can't justify getting another computer... even though I paid only £100 for the PC and nothing for the laptop. I don't think I can just upgrade the existing one... the shiny things are calling out to me... I'm such a tech h0.

Started replaying FFX. It's such a shock with the change of graphics and system, going from TLR to that, I'm glad I didn't jump to FFVII. And man, the battles are boring. I want to go through the story, but whenever there's fighting, I miss TLR really really badly.

I bought myself a digital camera at the end of last year. It's a typical one, isn't all-singing-and-dancing, suits my needs just right. The only mistake I've made was forgetting to tell my family that I bought one... so they got me one for my birthday. >> When I heard about it (they told me on the phone) I didn't say I already got one, of course. I guess this means I'm gonna sell the one I bought. So yeah, if anyone wants Sony 8.1MP camera plus 2GB memory stick for, say, £70 plus shipping, just holler. I've barely used it, must've taken less than ten photos with it so far.

In writing, I've reached the stage of "I'm enjoying myself far too much writing this crap" stage. Maybe I should insert some porn.

I find the lack of effort in saying hi and friending at the TLR friending meme very sad. It doesn't help that the mod, who was the one to make the meme and the first to reply, hasn't made an example of saying hi and asking to add people. Never seen a friending meme like this, nobody, except me, asking to add people. Then again, this is my first gaming fandom. But ah, in case anyone does add me as a friend as a result of the meme, most of this introductory post and this intro still apply, except that I had moved house already, so am now house-sharing (as opposed to flat-sharing) with [livejournal.com profile] giving_ground, and her brain is slightly closer to total destruction.

Soooo, how much would shipping to the US cost approximately?

Not sure, but overseas shipping rates suck and it'll likely cost less to just buy a new one there.

Argh, computers XD Even with all of the upgrades mine's gotten, it's still worse off than even the low-end ~$400 PCs you can get nowadays. (933 p3 w/ 512 ram). But one of my brothers' workplace is getting new comps and in general he gets to do what he wants with the old ones, so I can swipe parts from those if I want >.>


Also: What doesn't bode well for Liz's brain generally doesn't bode well for the rest of us :X

My desktop is a bit better than that, but games these days really demand the specs to be very high. DX And I have no source to swipe from.

......well. XD

Yeah. XD I'm not much of a desktop gamer, so I'm not too worried about that sort of thing... I'd just like to have my external dvd burner work properly and be able to watch video because the fansub community has gotten far to used to using useless and resource-hogging formats/containers (hi there, .mkv) I can't even youtube on my desktop without something freezing XD

I actually went all the way back to FFVIII just before I bought TLR. I got about halfway through before I bought TLR, and now I'm almost afraid to go back and re-finish it because the battle system seems so dull in comparison.

You know, I never knew that was the actual purpose of a meme (I didn't even really start using my LJ account for more than fanfic community lurking until a couple of months ago)... I've only ever seen them passed around between people who already friended one another, but the way you describe it makes more sense, so big thanks for friending me :)

Yeah... well now FFX gameplay seems so boring to me I wonder how I ever managed to play 160 hours of it...

Aha, I see! Well the last person who suggested it there didn't explain it well either. In essence it's people in the same fandom telling others a bit about themselves, and anyone who seem to share similar interests can then go ahead and ask if they could try to be friends.

I started playing FFX-2 and shivered a bit at the sight of the graphics and you know I'm not a graphics queen and hardly play these days, but Cisco's XBox ruined it for me.

Same... I didn't remember the graphics on PS2 being actually bad, but now that there is something to comparing it with, FFX just seemed so poor in quality. :(

that's one of the reasons why I gave up on FFVIII...
