A Laptop?

Posted by DesertFox on Nov. 25, 2006, 11:07 p.m.

I have bought, for a grand total of 600$US, a new laptop. Not just any laptop, a good laptop. The Acer Aspire 5102, with a 120GB hardrive, 1 GB DDR2 RAM, AMD Turion 64 TL-50 X2, a built in webcam, and a 15 inch screen.

Hooray for Thanksgiving Sales!

Here's mah baby:

*NOTE* That is not my actual laptop, it is a picture of someone else's of the same model.


Woohoo!

Wonderous awesomeness. I will have a nice little demo of that tentative idea I am working on - it is functioning very nicely, and isn't a usual text-based game. You will see why when I let you test out the beginning bit.

I successfully sprited a walk animation, and it was the devil to get a smooth walk animation on a character only 32px tall, especially the north/south animations.

I've also sprited a nice spider-thing - a 2 frame animation played at about 2 frames per second that makes it come out beautifully. Yes - it is a text-based game, but you aren't stuck with typing every command. You will have to attack and defend against monsters too.

Enjoy, and speculate upon the storyline.

If anyone is wondering, the new Core2Duos completely OWN the AMD FX series. An E6400 core 2 duo is a little better than the FX-60. And at about half the price, I think it's worth it.

But, AMDs have always (and will probably always be) been better at overclocking and are more interesting in the geek crowd.

Nice laptop btw, what is the GFX card? Thats the thing that nice laptops usually screw you with.

128mB integrated Radeon XPress something something blah blah blah. Good enough for most games.

I can play F.E.A.R. on my PC if I want heavy gaming.
