Gone for the next few days

Basically my graphics card is on its last legs right now, I am unable to play monecraft or any game for that matter for more than 5 minutes without a crash or major artifacting. Some of the VRAM on the the card has gone bad and I can’t do anything but get a new card. I can only go this weekend sometime to pick one up, so I’m going to be gone in game for a few days, besides the few times on my laptop.

I will stay active on the forums as I never post from my desktop anyways. Here is a pic of what happened the other day, that has been the only time I’ve been able to capture the fail all other times it crashed.

Ouch…

Also, is that Spore I see? I’v been thinking of getting it. Is it any good?

I played it for about a year, if you can get it cheap its worth it. Sadly EA put pretty heavy DRM on it. Only 5 installs anywhere from what I remember, so if you have 2 accounts and you want to play on each then you’ve used up 2 of your copies.

surely you can easily get around that by just putting the disk into another computer?

Spore? Actually, I am quoting someone here, “MAXIS promised a chemistry set and gave us a box of crayons”. It’s like molding something out of play dough, putting plastic parts on it, and call it an animal, which would have died of shame if it was programmed into the game.

Also, it’s very much like 5 minigames. 1’st one is like pacman, without the walls, with more squishy, and with to me derpy controls. Second stage could have been bigger. Third stage is good. FOURTH STAGE IS CRAP. A failed attempt on a RTS. Fifth stage is…well, boring. The best part of the game is, in fact, the editors.

I recommend Darkspore instead. Great hack and slash, much more mature than Spore, though I have managed to forget most of it. I wanted the game, but the comp is too no to run it.

No. Thats why they put it on there so you couldnt buy one disc and just give it to everyone.

Never tried darkspore and I agree the 4th stage is garbage, it far too easy as well. I liked the 5th but gets repetitive too fast. 3rd and 2nd are my favorites and the first is meh.

Well Windows just told me that my graphics card has failed. So looks like I’m out a computer until this weekend.

The whole game was garbage. I hate it. >:(

And HAHA! SUCKS FOR YOU! jkjk <3

any good recommendations then? for a laptop with 2GB ram and a budget of £25

Terraria
GG2

codename gordon

Hey hey! Look who it is on Steam!

As Sipjca know, my computer also died out on me, while I was in-game (2 days ago). Turns out I had factory defective ram and I’m sending it in for a replacement I know how you feel XD

Ouch! Well, is it time for an upgrade then?

Sadly yes, gonna have to put $100 to a new graphics card instad of saving that for Ivy Bridge but ohwell.

Got Terraria and I will have to take a look at the others.

I was thinking more ‘proper’ games… Not flash stuff. I’ll make a post with more details xD
