Signs I May Have a Modern Computer

by ahoodedfigure

Underneath each of them may be a NEW obstacle I face in playing them that replaces not having a good enough computer!!

Heroes of Might and Magic V

1. Heroes of Might and Magic V

May work under Windows 7, but my computer spit it out like a baby chucks pease porridge

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

2. Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

Steam... I'm playing so much Skyrim right now I've not even cracked this yet.

Borderlands

3. Borderlands

All the extra content and patches are online... Since it's a GOTY style release, I feel like they didn't patch it on purpose. Ah, and you need to be online to get the basic game, or it automatically uninstalls on you. Oh well, this is a lot less painful than it used to be... I'll live. ... And after I've been playing for most of two days, many others have died. Over and over.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

4. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Steam... Now that it's registered I play it offline, like a luddite.

Gothic II

5. Gothic II

I may actually get to play this, now.

King's Bounty: The Legend

6. King's Bounty: The Legend

I may actually get this... But haven't yet.

Steam

7. Steam

So far I've bought nothing from them.

Dragon Age: Origins

8. Dragon Age: Origins

I am playing this. Apparently there is some enemy called the darkspawn. They talk about them quite a lot. It's sort of like reverse Mad Libs, where all the key terms are already entered for you: "Hey," said Michael "What's that _Darkspawn_ _fading_ in your _Chantry_?" "Not a thing!" replied Helen _magely_, "It's just waiting for the _Witch_of_the_Wilds_ to find my _Alistair_!"

Dwarf Fortress

9. Dwarf Fortress

Um... I can now create the smallest world with the longest history without my computer overheating. This game is a beast.

Dig-N-Rig

10. Dig-N-Rig

Doesn't crash anymore! (I'm sorry for killing that bird. I didn't mean it.)
