KOTOR, Halo.

Posted by jusbe on November 5, 2007 at 11:08:13:
I have one of those 2007 X1600 laptops. Currently taking a break from editing a TV show on it FCP/Soundtrack/Motion. Having no problem doing multicamera (3) editing right now with an outboard LaCie drive. Played KOTOR and Halo on it with a few slow downs but nothing major (and this, coming from a guy who was using a quad core, SLI PC last year for AVID). Haven't played on it for about 7 or 8 months though, being a busy dad and so on. I think I have 4 games in total.

If I were buying again (and I may need to soon for HD cutting), I'd buy another MacBook Pro, 4 GB of ram, the fastest system drive they offer (regardless of size) and an OWC RAID 0+1 outbaord storage drive for media files, photos, general documents and so on (perhaps more than one to keep the editing stuff separate). Thus, with enough RAM, a fast OS drive, a fast storage drive, one of those X3100 (no idea what this is. ATi?) and so on you should be flying .

That said, if you haven't played something like Half Life 2 or any other modern game online, you missing about 90% of the fun to be had these days while gaming. Most onlne games these days have more 'senior' communities for dads-who-like-to-game and its truly hilarious sometimes. Never thought it would happen but I literally fell off my chair laughing late last year playing some team stuff with other dads. Some of the antics you can get up to make playing by yourself seem a little sad.

And you don't need a mac for that.

Since I'm a sci-fi kind of guy, this holiday I think I'll be picking up a copy of Mass Effect (made by Bioware, the original designers of the KOTOR game) and an XBOX 360 to play it on. When my son and daughters are not playing and in the few moments that I'm not with family and don't fancy another repeat on TV, this should fill the entertainment gap. Might pick up the Hlaf Life Ornage Box too. I seem to be one of the few people who have played Halo that find it really quite dull.
