WHat game to play in univeristy

• imagine95 wrote on 2013-06-11 23:57
  Hai guys
  
  I am going to university in september and I will be living in residence with my laptop.
  Due to the heavy workload, I don't think think I will be able to dedicate an hour everyday on playing mabinogi, therefore I am looking for other alternatives.
  I am considering a single player game since I really dont want to spend any more money in university.
  What game would you guys recommand?
  Oh by the way my program is Accounting and Financial Management so I won't be using a fancy alienware. T_T
  
  Thanks

  Please list the specs of your laptop and what you've already played.

  All the Touhou games.
  
  There's over 20 of them.
  
  There's also plenty of indie games sold on steam that don't need hi specs to play.

  You're either taking triple majors, or you're overestimating college workload.

  Still in the process of buying a laptop but probably in the $700 range
  Sorry I'm not realy good at listing the specs, does the list include the memory (or is it RAM?) and the frequency? (1.9 GHz stuff?)
  I played very little games, only the GTA series up to san andreas and the pokemon series (if that even counts?)

  Oh lol, no im not even doing double majors. However, I will be spending a lot of times in course readings as well as extracurriculars and networking events.

  Short rogue-like games.

  This - buy a bunch of indie packages and play those. They're nice, they can be short (or long in some cases) but don't require a solid commitment.
  
  I agree with Ashikoki though - you're likely going to find yourself with a decent amount of free time, even with extra curriculars. Plus, in college/uni work comes in waves. One week you might not have time to sleep and another you'll be twiddling your thumbs.

  If you're going to restrict yourself that much, then might as well just not play games. Go and hang out with some roommates/dormmates/classmates or something.

  Yeah, it'd be great if we can get the following
  Specific CPU model the names for Intel's line will be something like i5 2450M and AMD's line will be something like A10-4600M if not just give us the frequency and how many core it has
  
  Graphic's Card. This is easy AMD's line is named Radeon HD and have 4 numbers like Radeon HD 7990m and Nvidia's are named GTX with 3 number in the model name so like GTX 670M
  
  Ram.
  
  If you need help looking for a laptop ask in the Tech Discussion section of the forums. We'll be glad to help

  Since you said Pokemon are you just looking for PC games or possibly DS games too if you played the newer ones?

  Oh I don't mind playing a game that's 5/6 years old, not at all.
  Again, this will be mainly used as a school laptop.
