I hardly think I need an experiment, it got so hot that the GPU solder came away from the chips legs

Yay more annoucements of annoucements from lucasarts. Also aliasalpha have considered modding your laptop so it gets a better airflow? I would recommend a pickaxe for precision air holes.

A liquid nitrogen bath might help lower he temperature a few degrees.
Or for a cheaper alternative, use cooking oil. I'm sure the idea can be modified slightly for a laptop.

I'm not sure I would want that much flammable liquid next to me while I play computer games.

Well the up side being that I could use it to cook chips whenever I wanted some. The potato kind that is, don't want to cook any more of the silicon type
Down side of course being that the lappy is already borked, thinking of selling it on ebay if I can bodgy it back into life long enough to describe it as intermittently working rather than flat out dead

Another Star Wars game? Again?
/me goes back to playing Darkwind.

That's the kind of person in charge of Star Wars games these days. Suffice to say Cameron Suey doesn't strike me as Mensa material.

Cut the guy some slack. That interview is almost a year old. He probably thinks hardcore PC gamers have already replaced their systems twice over. ;)

If it's going to be another Clone Wars-era game, I'd be very interested in a second Republic Commando.
Otherwise, I'd be more interested in all the regular SW licences that are sleeping quietly for too long now: Jedi Knight, X-Wing/TIE Fighter, or maybe another KOTOR.

If they turned round and ditched the console crowed while making a new x wing alliance it would make my year.
Shit i would love that.

How about they make proper PC Star Wars games again and leave the shitty console games on the consoles. I would be a happy man if we got a new X-Wing/TIE Fighter and we missed out on Episode 3 fighter, Clone Wars platforming and Vaders apprentice that he never had 2.
