When I was feeling nostalgic, I could load up Quake 1 and play it with FULL OPEN GL GRAPHICS! Ten, maybe eleven minutes later, I would switch back to my consoles.Īnd I managed quite well there, thank you very much: I had my PS2, which later - in a ground breaking, mountain-top scream of defiance from student convention - got traded in for an XBox one (Halo, PGR, Xbox Live, better graphics and no need for a multi-tap = WIN!), where my gaming itches were scratched quite sufficiently for a man trying to eat, drink, party AND game on a eight grand a year budget. Nothing fancy just a 14 inch laptop, with Intel integrated graphics, with a little black mouse with a little red light underneath. Not long after that I went out and bought myself a laptop.

I declared, as the sparks flew from the third dead motherboard of the day. As it often does, life got in the way of me making this a regular feature, but I do have an Ivy Bridge based partial rebuild coming up, so who knows.īack in 2003, during the first semester of my first year of university, I made a promise to myself, one I upheld for the better part of a decade. I orignally posted this on IGN back in April of 2003.
