Ever since I was in 4th grade I've been using the same Compaq Presario V6700. It came with Vista, but we upgraded it to Windows 7. Then we got an HP Pavilion, which became my brother's, so I got stuck wiht the former. I was never very happy with it's performance. Right now, it's in especially sorry shape. The only games I can play properly are ones that aren't graphically demanding, like freeware games, flash games in the browser, and SNES roms. Those games aren't bad, but it could be better if I had better performance. Now I'm a sophomore with a dying laptop. Thus, I've decided I'm never getting another HP laptop again. Ever. That begs the question: Which laptop should I get for black friday/Christmas/my birthday?

A desktop computer doesn't fit my lifestyle, let me put that out there first. I considered Macs, but they're too expensive and aren't as good for gaming. On the Newgrounds forums, I asked if Windows 8 tablets were good for gaming. If this was the case, one could become my main computer, and I could have USB ports for iPod syncing and stuff. The consolidated answer was: not unless it's the Razer Edge Pro. Here's a pic: 

But that thing costs a thousand bucks! No way I (or my family) can afford that!!!! And for another hundred each, you can get the button controller arms (shown) and a keyboard. This thing has 8G RAM, intel core i7 processor.

So then I went to Best Buy.com and looked for some good laptops. The two I'm debating about are:

Dell Inspiron

Toshiba Satelite (as of the time I'm making the post they are both out of stock on bestbuy.com)

What would you guys recommend? I'll list some key features I want:

-At least 4GB RAM

-Windows 8 installed

-Webcam on front

What store could I get it cheapest at, online or otherwise?

Also: could anyone tell me how to make a recovery partition? My hard drive got replaced, and "D:\" was not on the new one, so I need to make a recovery partition on my own, because potentially, I may want to factory reset the computer.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Since the stage is paper, it transforms when it folds over and opens up again." also... Francis confirmed? Trophy at least?

it's totally legit and even uses google drive, please download it

My friend made an inside joke that the word "bible" is pronounced "bibble." So one day in computer class, after finishing the day's assignment, I google image searched "Bibble." This came up:

Not a butterfly in the truest sense of the word, but think of it as a clinically obsese one.

It comes with a help page, a 404 page, a config, and I didn't use any garbage like jQuery

It's Silver~ from the OLD OLD digibutter, anyone remember me?~ Felt like coming back after spending who knows how long on the OTHER digi ^^

I recently had a mishap with my iPod touch (gen 5) case. I got the case for my birthday accompanying the iPod itself which I got, due to me being accident-prone. I always have it in the shower to see incoming notifications, and I plan on bringing it to the waterpark this summer. However, two days ago I had it in the shower, and when I was rinsing it off, blobs of water were IN the case! (Good thing the case is clear - I would not ahve seen the water!) I quickly got out, retrieved my device, and saved it from further damage thusly. Further inspection of the case I sent a warranty claim and a picture to Lifeproof to see if I could get a new one. And guess what? I checked my email, and they're sending a new one to me for free.

And yeah, I looked at Otterbox and whatever, Otter doesn't make cases for iPod 5 that are waterproof so I decided not to think about a new one. If you do have another company in mind that does make such cases that are just as good/better/etc, please let me know.

Mobile devices are gaming devices, so shutup.

it's a cool lightweight browser mostly written in a scripting language that isn't one of those generic webkit forks

eat shit

So I was strolling through youtube listening to Super Paper Mario music(Favorite game evar,by the way) and saw a comment about digibutter.nerr being real. I checked it out and dang its awesome.I only got started today so I have no clue what the heck I am doing.But if this is a place for losers,geeks,rejects,and often-called noobs,then I am right at home!

(Reposting because the old thread probably won't bump any more, old thread is at http://digibutter.nerr.biz/topics/291552/trillek2d-alpha-04 for reference)

NOT IN A DEAD GAME ENGINE!

ACTUAL CLICKABLE BUTTONS!

WONKY JUMP PHYSICS!

LESS THAN HALF THE FEATURES OF THE PREVIOUS VERSION!

TRULY THIS IS THE NEXT STEP FOR INDIE GAME DEVELOPMENT!!!

*ahem*

So, after six months of procrastination, I have finally finished refactoring my space game project in Unity and brought it to about the same level of functionality as version 0.1a. Barring the vastly better menu system (now that I've got it to actually work) there's not much to see as of yet, but there are a few things behind the scenes that should help in adding new features in the near future.

Controls are left/right or A/D to move, space to jump and escape to pause (note: does not actually pause the game).
