Best investment to compliment any gaming laptop, however, desktops are still king though.

Activision Blizzard has announced that it’s laying off 8 percent of its employees — roughly 770 people — as part of the company “de-prioritizing initiatives that are not meeting expectations.”
The news came on the heels of announcement of Activision Blizzard’s Q4 and 2018 earnings, where CEO Bobby Kotick gave the company’s “record results in 2018.” Kotick went on to comment that, “While our financial results for 2018 were the best in our history, we didn’t realize our full potential.”

My son bought me an old Sega Genesis for my birthday a couple of years ago so I could play Mortal Kombat and Jungle Strike.
That could be true too.
I don’t have a laptop, I don’t like them. Poor heat management and the keyboard feels flimsy and weak. I don’t game on my phone either.
Ah.
I think this is what's happening...they had a good year and now they're making the company look even better by cutting out some of the fluff...trying to make it more attractive to buyers.
“Blizzard is saying they will be hiring more developers.”
Check the H1B visa thread elsewhere. They may not actually be hiring American kids for these jobs...
“Learn to Code”
Check out “Pandora’s Box” or “Pandora’s key”
I think box is the original and key is the knockoff. It is a table top console containing the vast majority of the arcade games from the 80’s etc. One version I saw had about 2000 games on it.
Ran across these at the mall this Christmas. Original graphics and connects to a TV.
It’s on my shopping list once I can find the version I want. and I believe both missile command and space invaders was on it.
I don’t remember if it had a track ball though.
Awesome! Thanks
There aren’t any vent ports on the bottom of laptops I’ve seen.
“All we want is a re-mastered Diablo 2.”
My kids were hooked on Diablo a few years back.
OMG... Benny Hinn has a brother and he’s in charge of Windows!!!
Played Warframe for several hours last night.. mouse is hypersensitive.. but is interesting so far ;^)
So you are suggesting journalism instead of learning to code?
Warframe is a great game, loved by the players and devs alike. I’ve been playing for years and still enjoy it.
It’s been out (from what I remember readin) since around 2012-2014... but while I was downloading and installing, it said something about it still being in Beta?
F&G Ping
I’ve been playing WoW since 2007.
Gave notice last week that I won’t be renewing. Expires in a little less than 3 months.
The game has become dull. There are other games I find more interesting and challenging.
I would hang around and visit occasionally if it were free to play. I’d even buy the expansions as well.
But for the close to $60 CDN every 3 months I pay, I could be buying 3-4 Triple-A games a year.
