BillyMaysFan59: Has anyone had any experience with buying refurbished laptops on retailers like Newegg?
No but if I WERE going to buy a refurbished anything I'd probably do it through them. It's been a while since I've ordered through them, but they were always a fairly well regarded company. If something went wrong with your refurb, I'd be more likely than not inclined to think they'd make it right in short order rather than give you the runaround like some other retailer might.
That free games thing is downright evil, I SO badly want to spend just a LITTLE more to get the last one.
Which I already have, and probably won't be able to give away to anyone I know well around here. :-)

Hey my friend, it's better to get a custom pc, with whatever requirements you want. They put so many rubbish equipment in the laptops.

I've bought 2 refurb chrome books from them... typing on this one right now after a year of service... I trust 'em.

Stilton: I just found some good reviews of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games on YouTube and they seem to be a mixed bag. Clear Sky is generally regarded as the weakest (or an 'insult' depending on how big a fan of the series you are) with the first one (Chernobyl) taking top honours. They're not must have titles, but they offer enough interest/immersion to be rewarding (aparently). I haven't played them myself, but I've always wondered what they were like. They're pretty buggy too, according to the reviews.

If Agent's still with us, hope you're doing OK!
STALKER is magnificent!

I played mass effect after stalker, and it paled in comparison. I'd rather be chased by freaky mutants in the dark with only a near depleted flashlight and a few shells for an oversized handgun, darting through life - theatening anomalies then be chased in a confined spaceship by ... blue ... freakish alien women (and Tali doesn't even chase after you >:( ) or christian poetry addicts who are out to steal my mental virignity. And I'd rather be torn to shreds, burned, electrified, sniped or compacted (yes, that's a thing in STALKER) and having to try again, then breezing through bland enemies in concrete corriders with the slightest of plots to fuel you onwards, checkpouint saves et all.

The gunplay is fine, high level difficulty is just the right kind of dificult, there are masses of mods (try lost alpha ... or misery, for those masochists), there is variety of good enemies, from brain-scorched gun toting cultist to shady mercenaries and mutants (a whole assortiment). There is a big world to head out into, and the story is just good for the game it is. There are nice guns, and enough little missions to keep you busy if you want to make some cash to be able to take on tougher missions.

And the ending more often than not kills you in a silly way ... which is great for a change ;)

For me it's up there with Morowind and Dark forces II , before Fallout 3/new vegas, unreal and half life. An earnest recomendation ;)
Thanks for advice everyone, I think I might prefer to buy from NewEgg. The prices aren't that much different anyway.

Yes, it's pure evil...
You'd probably be able to give it away more easily than STALKER, I think...
I know, I'm not helping :-D
I'm the little devil owl on your right shoulder... "buy it !!! buy it !!!" >:-D muhuhahaha

yes, just had the same thing, actually :/
Banner Saga seems to get a lot of love but has a fairly low rating.
Is it actually a game or more of an interactive story?

Also: Holy crap, my notifications are working right! :-)
