1,3TB RAM? Does it run Minesweeper at 60fps?

I gave up on them after the 'Large Pixel Collider'

This is quite atrocious as well.

Joystiq.com went down. I lost a gaming news site. I'm scared PCGamer could begin to do sponsored articles like this, instead of just Facebook posts.. If that happens, I'm out of news sites for gaming. I've been trying out polygon, but I really hate their site design.. Any suggestions for sites, guys?

ya u have to download the latest version of motherboard, but dont worry they give u free motherboard for the first 6 months, then u have to pay or it will magically disappear!.

sadly the free version of the RAM downloader only give u up to 2TB ram, and on the site it says Minesweeper needs 3TB ram to work fine D:,u can play flash games though!.

i might have to pay to get more ram, what do u think?

oh cool, I need 3 new processors to run Fl4ppy b1rd 144Hz, but I will need a new motherboard for it too.

by the way, get the 4TB RAM upgrade. it is worth it and you will get 69 CS:GO knives for it too . Awesome deal chansub-global-emoticon-577ade91d46d7edc

What a coincidence - I've decided to stop following PC Gamer this morning, but for other reasons. They recently published an article about Towerfall releasing a new character skin based off Anita Sarkeesian, so they've been deleting comments and banning posters left and right.

 

 

But if her character suffers damage, surely it constitutes violence against women. What a misogynistic game!

 

/sarkeesianlogic

 

Apparently, that joke was enough to get me banned from posting comments. Guess I'll have to frequent a different website from now on...

I'm betting someone at PCGamer downloaded and installed netbooster 2.0, and the software made that post when someone left the company facebook page open.
