SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So. . . I got me a job. . .

I'm doing some applicant verification for a mortgage company now and it looks like I'll finally be able to upgrade to a PC with:

A. An onboard keyboard.
B. The memory to run fancy, new-fangled, games.

What's looking good in the way of FPS games or MMPOGs in the last year or two? And, perhaps more importantly, what looks good in new-ish laptops?

EvE online is both VERY pretty and very inintense on requirements (it runs great on my MacBook bootcamping windows). WoW, if it's you cup of tea, sis easy on the system reqs and very scale-able as well.

Halo was too intense for my laptop, I want to check out the immensely better coded Half-Life 2, but haven't gottne around to it.
 Warcraft 3 runs great as a RTS.

Well, I'm hoping to drop a down payment on an Alienware laptop, provided we don't have anymore software bugs at work (said bugs are pruning my shifts back).

Just checked out HL2 and it runs AWESOME on my dual 800 Mghz laptop with onboard graphics processor.
 
Man, that game is SOOOOO GOOOD!

This would be a good choice: http://www.alienware.com/product_detail_pages/Aurora_m9700/aurora-m_specs.aspx?SysCode=PC-LT-AURORA-M-9700&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT#pdp-nav

Though you could do the same I do and build your custom rig, that will save you a lot of money that you could spend on a better rig.
But if you want a laptop, that's a whole different matter.
