It's photography though isn't it? I guess taking the camera out makes a it a bit less interesting composition is important, no? Some of these pics are heavily modified to meet the creators vision, I certainly would give lots more credit to the game developers rather than the "artist" though.

Fortunately you can get Blackout cloth on the cheap usually and make a simple frame out of 1x1 wood to put it on, and hang it like a giant picture.

Probably a little cap over the plug for the engine block heater. Beats just letting it hang out.

It looks like a PS2 game in HD (the textures are a bit better than that but not by a whole lot)

You kidding? that's the perfect paint job for a Lambo! I like it at least.

It's merely ok, which is a huge letdown from Sim City 4 which was brilliant. I played for 40hours, then ran out of things to do because the game is broken and limited... That shouldn't happen. I've logged easily over 500hours in SC4 and enjoyed every bit of it.

He is literally the opposite of Francis as far as attitude.

I've only seen him here so I wasn't aware. Thanks!

Right now I throw a PS3 in my bag and go since my old laptop broke recently. I think as gaming becomes more mainstream and as "gamers" get older you will see more and more people that both game and have jobs that require travel. I still don't think it's an oxymoron, I know plenty of people in programming that requires…

Sorry, its just doesn't make sense to make a blanket statement Like that though, what's right for some people may be totally wrong for others. My apologies for being a bit of a twat. I dont think the Edge will have specs that rival this. I understand the whole big ass hands thing though. My hands are too big to…

I can never tell if Francis is serious or if this is just an alter ego/character he plays for fun. Either way it's always funny.

WOOSH. Point. Missed. Entirely. I love my desktop as well. But I cannot use it when I'm traveling at all. Portability can he very important. Just because you are home for most of your free time doesn't mean others are.

14" is too small to game? That's 100% bullshit. I have used many 14" laptops, while not perfectly ideal definitely work very well, maybe you are one of those weird people who puts another keyboard in front of the perfectly useful one already attached to the laptop, in that case yeah, the screen is going to be too…

still cost a fair bit more than my 300dollar VW Golf. ;)

Not really. there are only so many ways to make a laptop in that form factor.

I could probably buy this (I won't because I think the weight/size for power/price tradeoff isn't worth it with the Blade). I'm in sales/marketing. plenty of down time if I'm at a hotel for the night while traveling I usually don't have much "homework" to do. Obviously this would still be decently big purchase for me.

Not really. You can still play many games at decent quality even on a lower end gaming "laptop" I'm not exactly dragging my desktop and all the shit to use it when I travel, especially by plane. Not everyone is obsessed with graphics, most people are wicked happy they can run the latest titles smoothly in their native…

Yes, bro.

Thanks! it is a big room but the panorama definitely makes it seem noticeably larger. the room is 200ft^2 last I checked. still have some stuff to finish (cable management) and some more desk space will go in the corner with the BTTF poster.

Panorama was the best way to show it. I have a 21" 1080p Asus monitor I bought 4 years ago (which looks fantastic BTW I like it a lot more than modern LED backlit ones) and a 40" Sony LCD I got for 300 bucks like new earlier this year, which also looks fantastic. all of the audio is hooked up to an older Onkyo…
