lol, starcraft would run on my old Pentium 120MHz laptop.




edit: I think the minimum requirement is a 486 CPU. :Q
 
guys, it was a joke. about the p4 muscle I mean. I don't have farcry yet. too lazy to install doom3. she doesn't know how to play rts games anyway, so this is a learning experience since she constantly bugged me about wc3.

1) Starcraft is a poor app to "tests is muscle". Try running Doom 3 or Far Cry.

2) Why is this a /rant?

3) Are you hoggint hl2, or are you hogging hl2 on her comp? 😕

Why dont you let her play a newer game?

StarCraft is a timeless classic and IMO it's one of the best RTS, if not games, of all time as far as replayability and strategic muscle go.

I just dont think its a very good game to be testing a computer's limits

heh, vs. 6 insane comps = won't last more than 3 minutes. I wouldn't last more than 3 minutes if more than one of them rushed.

Trust me, even if you played 3v4c (with 2 of your friends), you still wont last.

And what about 2v5c you say? Last time I did it, I eneded up with 2000 kills and my friend with a 1000. And remember, this is with limited minerals 😛

Roommate and I did 2v6c on BGH once and won. Don't remember the stats 😕 ...but I do remember I couldn't use the bathroom for the longest time.

It's not that difficult. The key is to wall yourself in.
 
playing vs comps are too easy.

play a c0+ player on WGTour or a 1300+ player on NeoGamei and then you can talk.
