The old laptop I was using for evening gaming in my lounge while Mrs Zombie watched TV is dead. Given its age, the insurance $$ isnt likley to cover a replacement. I can run NWN on another laptop but the performance is shockingly bad.

So, I may be able to hang out at the fire and chat, but complicated things like walking or heavens forbid combat are not going to happen.

Sniff... hope you get a newer compy soon then. Until then, I look forward to speaking to your characters at zee fire.

Seems like I'm not the only one who needs a new compy.
The good news is that they keep getting cheaper.

Well, its official. I heard back from the insurance company. My ‘gaming laptop’ (we will call it that to distinguish it from my current laptop) is 8 years old, worth $103 and isn’t worth repairing. So for the foreseeable future my night time gaming will be on my crap-top (newer laptop but with no 3d graphics card). Woe is me. No late night power gaming for me.

Check out Toshiba... They have some good ones for around $330.00 USD at Best Buy. Don't know how much that would be in Kiwi-land.
