You're preaching to the converted.



Tease.

Yes, the build looks sound. And those parts are indeed faster than the Eurogamer one, for this game.

Now, can you build a computer that plays SMG or MP3:C as good as Wii for <$250? That uses 17W at load?

 

 There is a Wii emulator out there now, but to do it well I'd need several times that amount, and limiting me to 17w is just cruel.  You jerk.

 

Seraphic_Sixaxis: Can i Play Valkryia Chronicles on it? How about some Uncharted? ... thats what i thought.

Exclusives do matter you know, although you've made your point for Multiplatforms, i find it funny how you mention the PS3 only w/o the 360 being mention'd.

 Nope, no PS3 emulators out there (and probably won't be for a long time) so no exclusives.   The challenge was just about Fallout 3 though,  and I did mention the 360 version!

 

 

 

 

Ahh, i see well, it seems more like a tweaked 360 then anything so i'll give you that one.

As for Fallout 3, who ever you made the bet with you've obviously won, good job on finding the gear for it.

Well, a PS3/360 won't be able to play Starcraft II so I think I'd prefer a PC ;)

Whats a Starcraft?

You own Warcraft 3 and its expansion, don't pretend you don't know the only RTS game bigger than that one.

True i own Warcraft 3 rain of chaos and Frozon throne but NEVER heared of a game called Starcraft, i know this "person" starcraft hear on VG but didnt know there was a game, let alone a franchise of it.

Since you mention warcraft i can only assume its a Blizzard game?

An old PC game from 1998 that lives on due to its great balancing and continued support from Blizzard.

Frequently ranked as one of the best games of all time, huge tournaments are held every year (I recently watched one in an audience of 200+ people and a professional announcer) and it's nearly a national sport in South Korea.

This year, Berkeley began a class on the art and strategy of playing Starcraft professionally. You can see the class here:
