Wasn’t yahtzee poking fun at PC gamers with that image? I find it hilarious that I see it all the time, though he is a hilarious guy. If I remember correctly it was in his review of the witcher (the first one).
My rig is a laptop. A sager laptop that cost 1600. They managed to fit a 6870 into that thing with a processor slightly less powerful than the 2500k. Plus it’s 15 inches, only weighs 7 pounds, and has damn decent battery life for a gaming compooter. So basically I have a semi-portable laptop that can do crysis 2 dx11 at ultra at 30 fps average. Count me satisfied.
