I can’t build PCs and my brother-in-law is too busy, so I’m getting a mahoosive Alienware system. Should handle my needs.

Jezmond’s PC was just over that amount and it is *STUNNING*. It’s HUGE, gorgeous aluminium thing with a whisper quiet fan, as well as all the gizmos inside. He was running Crysis and ‘Call of Duty 4′ on it and they were practically cinematic:)

Still hasn’t let me put SL on it yet…..GIT!

I’m about to buy £2,500 worth of PC, it’ll make SL run as sweet as it possibly can from my end, so Blue Mars can go and get stuffed. I like the fact that I can create MY content in SL, not be dictated to about who I spend my hard earned moolah with…

Besides, as well as not having control over content, Blue Mars isn’t the same as SL anyway and I couldn’t do nearly half the things I can in SL, like own a club etc.

I’m not gonna convert, I’ll stay put thanks

I agree:) However as I was reading this out loud to Jezmond he just grinned and pointed at his beast..no, not his penis, his brand spanking shiny PC that he’s just built and he thinks would run BM very well…..Like you though, I’m happiest here. Besides, by the time it gets going we’ll have handbags like that in SL!! Woot!

Hmmm, Blue Mars isn’t exactly like SL now… Firstly, as they’ve pointed out, it’s gonna take Deep Thought or a PC of equal magnitude to do it justice and actually run the program, so that’ll put it out of a LOT of people’s reach…

Secondly, it’s actually a game, wheras SL isn’t. There is a BIG difference there.

Thirdly, unlike SL, Blue Mars isn’t resident lead, meaning that the environment won’t be created by those who use it, more the megaconglomerate corporations who want to sell you virtual crap to go with the real stuff you have. Very rarely in SL do you actually deal with the Megacorp mentality (unless you deal with Anshe Chung), so again, SL gets the win there in my eyes too…

I don’t want to play a game that has more linear play, sparkly consumerwhore content and requires £4000 of PC to even look remotely pretty… I’ll stick with SL, where my friends are.
