    If I had too much money I wouldn't be "needing" those things would I ;)
    Shutting up desktop owners... MAYBEEEE. Mostly running everything at max above 60fps =D.

    Oh I see. That's just Ubitimization. Dying Light had the same problem at release. It would load up on a single thread and performance would tank unless you manually set affinity.

    Ubitimization should be in the dictionary.

    I think I coined that word :p

    Also Ubiquitin is a real protein that tags other proteins for degradation. Somewhere in there is a Ubisoft joke.

    It's not set to private, it's set to friends only. And who says all my games are on Steam? Screw Valve. :D

    But here, in case you were wondering:

    I do the same with games to some extent, but thankfully whenever a long weekend rolls around I always make some time to play them.

    Trust me I'm not proud of the binge spending either, but if there's one good thing that came out of it, it's that now I'm much more careful with my budget.

    lol had a good run with the Clevo and got a lot out of it. Plus unlike the sports equipment racket the Clevo isn't a sunk cost.

    So...much...CoD. Well you certainly got your money's worth. :p

    Although for single game record, I feel like I beat that with Halo, not that I have any way of knowing for sure. Just feels like I've wasted too much of the last 12 years of my life in there, including basically all 3 years of middle school. It's the one game that's never left my computer.

    Money's worth? I get CoD for free. I just played what I liked, with the exception of MW3 (which I played because my friends only played that). I have since stopped playing games "because my friends do" if I don't enjoy it.

    Also, it's not on steam, but I have well over 700 hours of FF X, and I would play more with ease. I also feel like doing some more Dragonquest VIII too.

    Man I have so many games vying for my time and GTA is taking up most of the time they can have XD.

    TFC* is my single game record for sure. Still remember how during summer vacation in grade 8 I literally spent 8 hours everyday playing that game. So that's 720 hours right there. Then I've been playing that game on and off over the years.

    Recently started playing the game again because nostalgia and it's great for killing a few hours. Yes I'm still playing a game that is now 16 years old, it's that good.

    *TFC = Team Fortress Classic

    So this thread slowly turned from "Is FC4 playable yet?" to "I would sure like to have this kind of hardware...", and finally ended up as "So what do you guys play, because FC4 is an unplayable piece of Ubisoft software."
