Housepets!

My graphics card won't run it, as my laptop is a terrible gaming computer, the opposite of what I was told at the store. So now I need a new computer. Wonderful.

I guess returning it isn't an option? since its already opened and registered i think.

Like I said before, find out which brand your graphics card is, go on the website and see if theres an upgrade for it.

I tried it; it's official that it can't run it. I wouldn't consider replacing the whole thing if it weren't the only option I have left. I'll be able to play it eventually, at least.

How long have you had your current computer?

Two years. It was "future-proof" enough for this long, except for the graphics chip, an nVidia7150M. That, I'm only now finding out, wasn't even present-proof at the time. I never would have expected such a lopsided build from what was being described by a salesperson as a "gaming laptop." (Note: the person was almost certainly not just saying that to pressure a sale, as it was clear that it was my intention to by a laptop. The only question was which one.)

I'm actually surprised, normally it's recommended to get a new computer every 6-8 years.

Looks like you need a new graphics card then.

It's an integrated graphics chip, so that's a no-go. My friend says he can build me a desktop that can play it for under 500 dollars. I might look into that.

Sounds like a deal to me, take it, most good gaming computers I see nowadays are an upward $800.

Wow. My computer is 8 years old and can play l4d2. Guess im lucky

Alright, I ended up trading my laptop for another one, so I can now play the game. It's awesome!

I don't know how to add friends without RealIDs, but anyone who wants to be friends, let me know.

I DO! Although, I play wow. But RealID works for ALL games! :3

K, so I finally got everyhting installed and running on a comp that can actually handle the graphics...

I'm playing the campaign and I was really sad to see that Diamondbacks are not in multiplayer. Those are awesome.

I don't like how in order to friend someone who plays another game you have to reveal your name.

It's reached the point to where I start banging my head against the wall and ignoring this topic until I get the game...

*plays this game alot* ...
*loves the zerg*

Even though i don't have the game yet i just can't keep away from this topic D:

Same here, it's an interesting game to discuss.

Dusty and my friend code is 967. I'm on the North American servers. I've been having too much fun with Roleplay maps xD

Sleet, 654. I give everyone permission to send me a friend request. No, I give everyone an order.

I just bought the game. Never played StarCraft in my life, and the last RTS I played was Command and Conquer: Red Alert back in like, 1996 or something. So I don't know what I'm doing. Whatever it is, I hope it'll be fun.

Oh god i want this game so much....
