What kind of brand CPU/GPU? If AMD, you could download this and limit how hard your system will run.

Get a console...

I'm sorry, but I've had nothing but bad luck gaming on a laptop, including the fact that my resolution gets messed up when I switch between the desktop and the game. I've also had a terrible time getting certain games to load on my PC. Seriously, all you hard core PC fans out there who think the PC replaces consoles are overestimating the patience of the average consumer. I've got some tech savvy know-how, but I definitely don't have nerd cred. It's somewhat necessary to live a PC gamers lifestyle. More power to you, but I just don't have the patience to go down that rabbit hole.


I have a console. It sure beats trying to fix my laptop. LOL Good contingency plan, eh? I just wanted to fiddle wiht the Steam sale.
