good news, everyone! i have a
NEW COMPUTER!!!
so okay my six-years-old computer finally lost the good fight and died Monday. i was like 'oh well i've got my lil' old laptop which works fine for web browsing but not much else' BUT THEN my dad was like, 'hay i have this S00PER SEKRIT PROJECT!!!! i am working on but i need someone to do some graphics stuff for me CAN YOU HELP' and i was like 'well i can do some photoshoopin' but it runs slowly on the laptop and the desktop is dead SO! it will take awhile also i am not that great at graphics maybe you should hire someone???'
then dad was all 'no let's just get a new computer idk what else to spend this tax return on.'
so i was like, 'okay'
AND THEN we went to Best Buy after an intense 20 minutes of product research and bought this thing right here~
to which you might say 'okay just get to the point DOES IT PLAY LEFT 4 DEAD LIKE YOU WANT IT TO'
to which i might reply with 'UM actually no. but! it only needs a graphics card upgrade, which by the way i am totally capable of doing, SO THERE!'
which means i need only order and install the necessary video card, and then this computer will be, as people say, IN BUSINESS.
it runs Portal quite nicely atm, and after running a DirectX check i found it could almost run the original L4D at minimum settings. :sadface: luckily i can get a decent card for less than $100 - assuming everything goes smoothly i can have super fun awesome times on the PC by next week.
EXCITING!
