Super Nintendo Wizard
Coming home after an hour drive from the insidious Wal Mart demon fortress I proceeded to board up my room and reap the rewards of my daunting quest.
*/Zelda treasure finding sound/*
Alas, the best in what 2005 had to offer is in my hands... Half-Life 2! I pop in the CD... "Enter CD key"... no problem, i actually bought this game... E-GAD! Its not here!
*/Dragula by Rob Zombie plays loudly in my puny car stereo... "BURN through the witches!"/*
I cruise 15mph over the speed limit hunched over like a bearded Cruella de vil off to kill some dalmations. "Grumble, grumble, BAH!, grumble."
*/Pink Panther theme song... i casually make my way to the front of the hellish Wal Mart 'customer service' line.../*
Latifa behind the counter dosent care that I budded in line... shes talkin' with Jamal on her sparkly pink RAZR, doing her nails. She directs me to some down-syndrome looking mecha-demon of a lady. After explaining to her (for about 30mins) that I can't play this game without a CD key ("whhhaaatt?? wells you gots tha game discs dontcha??") she finally breaks down and gives me a fresh copy of the game... I imagine her getting eaten by thousands of monkey-bat demons as I thank her for her helpfulness.
*/Fan Fair (the battle victory song from the FF series, you neglected child)/*
Finally! I sit down in my comfy armchair (situated in a position to view both my TV and my computer) and install *shiver* Half-Life 2...
*/6 hours, 18 mountain dews, and 852 "Windows update" prompts later/*
I fire up Steam... Updating... and whats this? Incompatable video drivers! Hurray! Fire up Opera>>Google... Oh and what do you know? Theres absolutley no way in Satan's grotesque cracked out racist hell that I can play this game with my video card!
Fast forward a few months... I just bought a Dell E1505 laptop with an ATI x1400 (256mb) video card (waiting for it to come in the mail)... the question is... will Half-Life 2 allow me to install it on my other computer with the same CD key that i used on my other computer or will I run into problems? 'Cause I really don't want to have to deal with that shit. Furthermore, how does the ATI Mobility Radeon x1400 stand up performance-wise gaming?
