Both Half life games had big leaps in the experience, I cant remember all the small things that made to original special but one small detail was that you would hear radio chatter on a dead enemy, by today's standards that nothing but back then it was a cool detail that added to the feel of the game.

The first game I remember playing was a text based game Stephen kings The Mist. That goes way back, then I remember a game called Wasteland, it made good use of my 16 color RGB monitor, lol. The first multiplayer game I played was Descent, I was a flight instructor ant a university and we installed it on the network machines, when it was raining we would chase each other in the little spaceships, big time fun! Here is a list of more modern favorites. Most memorable to me was Half life 2, the atmosphere that was created by the graphics engine and audio was a huge leap forward, and when G man appeared on the train t=the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. This also led to the Orange Box which was the best gaming purchase of my life. Battlefield, I love playing with a squad of friends and the series has had some issues over the years and the worst release ever with 2042, I still enjoy playing the game with my clan mates. TW3, best single player game I have played and I still have it installed. Subnautica, I have played a lot of this simple survival game, I play on hardcore mode and see how far I can get without dying. Icarus, I recently started playing this game which is quite a bit of fun, the Coop mode is great but my schedule is such that I usually play solo, it still needs work but the developers put out a patch every Friday and have been making big changes to improve it.

I love The Witcher 3, I have done several full play thoughs and I'm enjoying it, I have played both Subanuticas several times and It's a fine was to pass time when playing online isn't an option. Asid form those every time I go back to play other games I'm usually disappointed with them and it's ruins the memory of the game.

I'm not sure if the 12800HX has a metal pad, I thought that was reserved for the 12900HX, I plan on running it for a week with everything stock then I if I decide to re paste then I will take your advise. Heck I may want to remove it just to see what's under the hood. Believe it or not I never re pasted my GT73, I kind of want to try it to see what it look like after 6 years.

I just ordered a GE 77 from GentechPC, I went with the 12800HX and the 3070Ti. I have had descent luck with my last two MSI machines which had second tier GPUs. I'll be sure to test it out and post the results. https://www.gentechpc.com/product-p/msi-raider-ge77hx-12ugs-004.htm

Welcome, I had a Toshiba, that was two laptops ago.

I’m lugging a GT73vr around with me so any of the new ones will be an improvement.

How many spinning hard drives do you have in your desktop?
DukeCLR replied to Sandy Bridge's topic in Desktop Hardware
I had 1 640 mb hdd that I had in my last 4 builds, it had my music collection and some photos, it started having issues so I bought a SSD and transferred the data. I’m all solid state now. -
Nice link, there’s nothing like talking to an actual owner. I’m just finishing up a trip, when I get home I need to look more closely at several models.

Welcome!

Good info, my issue with the Omen is that it appears to only have 1 SSD, I need to talk to someone from HP

My last two gaming laptops have been MSI and I have had great luck with them, that's why I have been thinking about the GE 76 but I know things have changed a bit in the last five years.

Been playing BF 2042 with my clan and Icarus.

MSI Raider GE76 12th Generation - Costco Special
DukeCLR replied to qadhi79's topic in Bargains & Sales
This looks like the one I want to get to replace my GT73VR, I'm curious to see how it works. -
Interesting thread, I'm still running my GT73VR with the factory paste, I have had good luck with Kryonaut on my desktops, I don't do extreme overclocking though.

Hello, I'm Duke I fly airplanes for a living which has had me using laptops for gaming way before there were gaming laptops, I was a member the NBR forums and I have found the people there very helpful in many aspects of tech and I'm happy to see many familiar names here. Thanks for starting the forum.
