New PC games require a big PC

In the words of Penn and Teller - BULLSHIT!

Starcraft 2 Min Reqs

The min reqs are a 4 year old system.  The recommended specs are a 3 year old system.  Which, by Valve's hardware survey is what most people have.  Go figure, developers are designing for the hardware people have so they can sell more software.  What a concept.  As I blogged earlier, PC gaming does not have to be expensive.

NICE , my Pentium 4 desktop just squeeks in, it's a 2.8 ghz. :) I think my laptop will also qualify. Hadn't really thought about picking up SC2 though, i'll wait and see how bad the DRM nonsense is going to be on it.

I actually thought about picking up Star Craft:The brood wars package the other day. I still enjoy playing that shit!

But...but my 6 year old system won't play it!!! However, I'm glad. I don't need another game to add into the pile of games to play...it's quite full enough already. I loved RTSs back in the day of Dune 2, C&C (the original!), and Total Annihilation. SC2...I'll pass and won't lose any sleep over it.
