Got the new laptop last friday. Although its very much similar to the other laptop which runs TF2 like an NES game, its much faster in comparison after Dad installed an additional 2GB of RAM in it. No complains except for Vista, which can be a little irritating. I think the hype about how Vista's the ultimate loser of all OS' ever created is overexaggeration. I mean, I don't experience that infamous screen blackout often. It only happens once in a while. Either Vista's been fixed since or some people really don't know how to turn off the User Accounts Control(or something like that, i just know its called UAC)

Things I've found out about TF2 I've never noticed before

• The heavy's minigun shoots 4 bullets per ammo count. Since TF2 doesn't limit me to only have one bullet hole of any sort on the whole map at the same time, it actually shows as 4 bullet holes when i shoot a minigun round into the wall
• Gibs exist. I didn't know TF2 players could blast into a shower of blood and bits and pieces. I especially love the killcam which shows you stuff like "Your foot" "another bit of You". Thats just hilarious.
• I can shoot other people's gibs around! yippee! Flying head splats blood all over the wall!!
• Severed head that rolls down stairs make nice red carpet for me to walk up =D
• TF2 has TWO teams. RED and BLU. I always saw them as BLACK, regardless of team, on my old laptop.
• Water is not opaque.(what a relief)
• I can mutilate corpses and push them off balconies!! WAHHAHAWHAHWA
• Mic spam is fun(since this laptop comes with an integrated mic =D)
• Its very fun when people happen to die near steel bars and their ragdoll's leg gets caught in between two bars. Human pinata FTW!
• Shooting bullets into metallic objects creates sparks!! Wow!
• Ubered Medic and partner act as metallic objects. Seeing sentry bullets glance off them is such eye-candy.

Okay, now you know how deprived I am of TF2 graphics the past 7 months. lol.
Alright, one last thing before I end. Our results day is on 12th of Jan right? anyone know the time?
