My wallets says no.

It is very unlikely for CoD to drop that low though, not until towards the second half of next year where Black Ops 3 is announced and will be out.

Thats true. Thats the biggest problem.

I'll buy in summer sales. Probably not this weekend cause still itching for something else.

Still, one month old game, can get with season pass with the launch price. It is pretty good IMO.

Wont buy now, money will be thrown at Firaxis so that they make another bloody XCOM expansion.

I doubt straining your laptop will end it to early grave though. My laptop runs at 95C to 105C at times when its dusty. It is still running fine till now. Unless you had overclocked it or shut down often, it should be fine.

If you need help with the paypal part, I can help.

Still, I agree on getting the new rig part more. No fun playing on low details.

Well, I have been a laptop gamer since uni. Still using laptops for games till now as I still havent settled down yet. Laptops are a lot easier to move than desktops.

I dont play much demanding games now so i think my current one will last me probably 5 years if there isnt any parts or heat issues.

Looks like your heatsinks are clogged up. Either look for a guide to disasemble it to clean it but beware of voiding your warranty.

Or you need to buy an air can to dust it, preferably once every 6 months. That will keep your laptop at its tip top shape without throttling.

Most modern laptop designs are pretty shit. They run at 80 to 90C then, shut down at 100C. There isnt much temperature margin to play with these days.

That will destroy your fans. Only use electronics safe air cans.

That will destroy your fans bearing and even the electronics as the air current is too strong.

That is not hardcore. If you want hardcore, disassemble it to clean.

Never. Using IC Diamond where it is designed to last for 5 years.

Generally it is not needed unless it is not performing well or you are upgrading.

Where did you service your laptop?

Hmm, can I have the shop contact?

I use this:



I bought it for RM50. It has to be inert to electronics as if not, there is a chance that it might fry your components.

I meant if your PC shutdown due to overheat a lot, then, it is not good for the long term as GPUs and CPU will start to disintegrate after 110C. That might shorten their life span.

I tend to shut it down when Im not using it cause its quite a waste of electricity.

Maybe try with compressed air can. It might help. Dismantling isnt easy. My old laptop needs 2 hours to dismantle cause have to remove all the casing to reach the heat sinks.

For air can cleaning, I follow the methods shown in the video.

Been doing this for the past 4 years and my old laptop is still strong. No throttling. Try to open the back panel as it does have better results in cleaning as there are more space for the dust bunnies to fly out. Always spray once on your hand to ensure the air can is dry as sometimes, there might be some condensation on the tip. And always spray in short burst like the video, as if you spray too long, some of the liquid inside might flow out.

Its the lazy way.

Dunno will it work on my new rig.

Yeah, but no choice. Can be used for 2 years in my past experience with another can in dusty room.

Ambersil is expensive, and thats the only electronics inert one I found that time.

It lasts 2 years for me, for my last can so its an ok investment even though its RM50.

Peace of mind when gaming.

I found it at Ace Hardware.

Ask the staff there, they should know. I think low yat also has some.

Playing CoD and VC now.

No point buying at the moment.

I'll wait until winter sale only buy.

I did ask around. It seemed like Titanfall is still playable in US server. Around 200ping from Malaysia.

SEA is very much dead though.

Playing VC, Banner Saga(iOS) and CoD AW.

The first 2 are amazing where for me both are way above my expectations. VC is great, very much squad tactical strategy with a decent story and interesting characters where i can't send them to death like XCOM. Each mission are also interesting too while there is Alicia waifu that took out a whole squad of enemies. .

Banner Saga, I thought it was an average game as the combat was quite shallow but can be difficult. However, the story and art style kept me hooked all the way. Can't wait for the second game.

AW is a bit disappointing. The net code is kinda crap and it really needs dedicated servers as i experienced a lot of inconsistent ping. You probably dodged a bullet here. Gameplay wise, its familiar but it is much better than Black Ops. A lot more verticality which is good but inconsistent ping made it a pain to play.

I played both games. I won't recommend far cry 3 because to me, it feels like it has a lot of boring fillers in between the fun comtent. Then, some of the fun stuff like the gliding suit are unnecesarily locked until the last half of the game. I dislike the hunting and crafting part of the game where I find it to be tedious and unfun. The game takes me 25 hours, i might spend 10 hours hunting tigers and collecting herbs which is boring. The combat is pretty good as you can choose how you want to approach. Do you want to burn the whole jungle to beat them? Or snipe them one by one? Or go in guns blazing? Or by stealth? The story is so so as only the first half is good. The second half is pretty shit.

If you want to buy a Far Cry game. I'll recommend Blood Dragon. It has a lot less shitty crafting and hunting while you go straight into the action. It took me about 7 hours if I'm not wrong.

Lol. Get DA:I then. ME3 coop was quite fun but I didn't play much after getting countless sniper rifles and nothing i want due to their random unlock system. DA:I coop will probably be the same as ME3. Free content with microtrasactions. Except now, DA:I coop gets a randomized dungeon that keeps things fresh.

DA:I seemed to has good feedback so far. I guess the price will remain high for a while as it looked like it will sell well to me. A bit tempted to get DA:I too but I have enough games in my hands so far so I'll skip for now.

Yeah, DA:O does need some mods these days. It didnt aged well IMO but there are plenty of mods to make things better.

Now EA also do that. Sigh.

Blizzard has been doing that for years. Still hate them for doing that.
