i've seen gaming laptops for $800 with the 1060. it seems like the 1060 is the best bang for the buck, if you are cool with 1080p (still a great IQ imo).

Yeah, they certainly exist, but the largest issue I found when researching laptops with 1060's in the 'budget' category was their lack of battery life (still need it to do some work related stuff) and overall build quality. Essentially they cut corners to provide you a 1060.

I looked around for 3-4 months (in fact another generation of Intel CPUs launched in that time) and looked at the games I wanted to run, and decided a 1050 was adequate.

I mean I'm under no illusions that this is somehow going to run Cyberpunk 2077, but if I get a year of solid gameplay out of this, I'll be happy.

Also, by then I should have a more permanent situation and therefore a desktop.

This thread is embarrassingly bad.

You ever known a Malacrymas thread not to be so?

What GPU do you have?

I'm on a GTX 1050 - 4GB inside a laptop, with 12 GB Ram, and an i5-8300 w/ an SSD and an HDD.

I wanted to continue gaming (the games below my avatar) and needed that option, but also portability; as I'm already planning on going back to the West Coast relatively soon.

So a desktop was out of the question, lest I need to sell it when I leave, lose my shirt on it, or pack it in a crate - but I'm relocating too often to invest in anything serious.

Also, I picked this laptop up for $1000 CAD ($770 US) and very happy with it. Prior to this I was on a netbook

You just have that queued up in your harddrive in the off chance?

^ I would consider playing that version.

TehDumbloMat has seen the light

I've always liked Forza, never understood the Gran Turismo love - spending hours trying to get Gold on a section of Laguna Seca?   Shit son, I just want to race.

But I haven't played Forza since the 360 days in 2012... plus apart from having to reinstall Xbox, this has been flawless.

If it wasn't 2:00 AM here, I would get deeper into this.

This is easily the best version of BC 

Honestly when I first came back a few months ago, I was shail'ing/facepalming quite often with his antics.

I kept asking, where has Bodycount gone, and/or who hijacked his account?

This one has been like the 'ole days,  I've legitimately laughed out loud these past few days.

Here come the PC problems LOL

Nah I know what it was now, when I first got this PC I took all of the programs out that looked like Bloatware, or just unnecessary, and when I saw 'Xbox' on my PC I instinctively removed it.

try downloading the Xbox (beta) app from the store and see if you can sign in through that one.  Also try signing in to the app before opening the game.

Yeah tried the App first; let me Re-DL from the App store...

For some reason I get the following issues:

Forza tells me I need to be signed into a Profile, and Xbox Live says it's unable to connect....

I got routers in my routers 

There's an Xzibit meme somewhere in here.

Ffs

So that's where the '2' in your username came from 

That a 2010 Larose Perganson I see? 

Thanks JonB - DL'ing now.

It's Call of Duty in Battle Royale mode, regardless of your opinion expect it to do Iron Man numbers.

why would anyone on pc want to play halo 5 lmao. there's like 800 superior shooters on that platform. 

Lemming derangement syndrome; apparently we're begging for Halo 5, Killer7, and whatever title they feel the need to bring up at the time.

Fixed your title for you..  

Yeah, the Cyrillic to English translations don't always come out right.

He private messaged the reviewer of Valkyrie Chronicles to ask why the review page didn't say it was available on Xbox One 

I must say, if you don't engage him directly - which I am loathe to do; he's entertaining as fuck. The circles he runs in to defend things, and the corners he boxes himself into are fantastic.

Cheers, to the guys who keep him posting paragraphs of circular logic.

I just think it's hilarious the angle that he's playing in this thread... like I'm hell starved on degrading the X or something... like as if I don't speak highly of it 99% of the time... ROFL.  He just got insta-bitchmade when I posted the NXGamer numbers.  This motherfucker telling me I'm scouring the net looking for ways to hate on X1X... rofl... this is the same guy that emailed Gamespot asking the reviewer why Xbox One wasn't listed on the review page  

 

 

Wait, he actually e-mailed them?

yeah, ozark is a lot of fun! 

Yeah nearly done Episode 2 and I forgot the pacing was sublime.

I'm waiting for Saul to wrap up the season before I get beyond Ep 3.

Also now getting back into Ozark's as I had to put it down when I relocated across the country so I had stopped around episode 6 of the first season. God damn it's a great show!
