Can YOU run it?

Well can you? Or rather can that aging machine your using cope with todays heart breakingly system heavy games? You do?! Well thats great, good for you! But for the rest of us there is this rather fantastic web tool (www.systemrequirementlab.com/referrer/srtest) which will tell you everything you need to know about just how crap, or fantastic your computer really is. I'm in a good mood now because i learnt that this PC (NOT the old battered thing in my room, the other PC) has the minimum requires for most of the games i like the look of. No, not the newest flashy games that they are still advertising for, the slightly older games that are about 2 or 3 years old now. Mind you, meeting the minimum requires doesn't mean it'll work that well, so i'm going to have to pick and choose my titles very carefully before finding they dont work and then take them back to the shop the day after!

Not to mention i'm HORRENDOUSLY poor at the moment, soon to become all the more worse off once the DVLA get my car tax through. (Yeah, so poor i had to use BLOCK CAPITALS, italics and bold to emphasize my point!)

Right, so while i'm off lying in a gutter somewhere bemoaning why i cant run Medieval 2 Total War despite the fact that its a game now gracing the bargin bin, come and kick me while i'm down by telling me what fun it was for you a few years ago and then finish me off with the proverbial machine gunning by saying how great it is having your PS3's, X-box 360's Wii's and GOD-PCs.

Though if you want to make me cry use the following sentance:

"Whats that dusty thing next to your TV? A Playstation 2? Do they still even make those?"

Well at least this week i'm not complaining about how useless my degree was or how i still haven't got a job yet... FYI i have an interview on Monday (i as surprised as you are!) so no doubt you'll get to hear all about it next week.
