The only standard in the Game Development Industry is that there are no standards. The only standards are the illusion of standards that gamers create in their minds. Now if you're talking about the rest of the software industry, they do have some standards...wish we had some...

As for laptops, I rather like my laptop and it's great for gaming and it's great for moving between LAN parties.

Also, just a little note, my laptop is great, except for the video .

If that was the only thing changed it would be wonderful for playing Lan games. The keyboard rules.

I just wish the manufactures would concentrate on making them more dynamic and stop trying to make them as small as possible, they're pretty much as small as they're going to get just because of the screen. If the boarded area was about 1/2 an inch thicker there would be room to have cards you could interchange, but it wont happen at least not any time soon. [addsig]

My new laptop is fantastic. Runs UT2K3 maxed at 1024x768 smooth as a [insert object of simile here]. Now just gotta get Maya and Radiant (and some Q3 engine game) installed on it and I've got me a solid portable workstation

Then there's the matter of upgrading my desktop system, which is now far behind except in memory and video... :-\ [addsig]

/me pets my ubersmall wooden pc

It's perfect for LAN games, since its got all the power of a PC, all bundled into 990 cu. inches of wooden goodness.

Gotta watch out for magnets though... [addsig]

Well, my laptop's working great for me right now, and it can run UT2k3 damn well. Had to get the Omega drivers otherwise Maya would go berserk if I turned on Grid Snap. Other than that, the thing works great, I can even run KotOR fairly well.

Love that game, but why did they have to make the NWN engine th?t heavy. The game runs, but on big open places like Taris and stuff, it's switching to brightness below zero and hoping I know where I'm going to get a decent framerate

JK2 was a First Person Shooter (tho I played the whole game in 3rd, ), KotoR is a RPG. It's fun, but it's something totally different.
