A Huntkey PSU that couldn't even support a 750 ti and an i5 laptop that would shut down when gaming. I mean it couldn't even play minecraft without randomly shutting down! :dry:

In 2008, my mom bought a gateway laptop for 800 fucking dollars. It had a single-core Celeron at 2GHz, 4GBs of 333MHz RAM, and integrated graphics of some sort.

Wait Wait what happened lol. I have that same power supply hooked up to my 5820k and 980ti. (getting a new one this summer probably)

The one I had suddenly sounded like a pack of firecrackers going off which is most likely the capacitors exploding and ended up taking my 280x with it. I would highly suggest not using that psu on higher end hardware.

I imagine there are various things that have been changed in the game as a whole on the 360 version versus the Xbox One version.

One failure is not evidence of a poor design or poor quality. That's anecdotal. Quality is not perfect in spotting defects and they may have missed something.

My old build was perfectly respectable for about 5 years ago (i5, 8gb ddr3), but, It had literally the worst possible video card, I scavenged it from an old mac I believe it was a ATI Radeon HD 2600, with a whole 256mb  of GDDR3 sdram, that's right SDRAM, my old GPU was running ram slower than my current system lol xD

My first computer was a dell laptop with a Pentium 3 running at 800 or so Mhz, 128 mb ram and of course an 11 GB hdd. Windows 95. I used to play starcraft all day long on that thing :)

My next laptop was much better with an AMD Bravos Dual Core at 1.8ghz and 8 gb DDR3 RAM (not sure why?) and of course the onboard graphics on the CPU.

A first Gen Mac Mini.

Died while playing minecraft.

We tried to get it repaired but they told us it was broken.

Then they tried to charge us a small fortune for them opening it up.

GG Apple, build good computers next time please

The laptop I used in high school was pretty shitty but it wasn't mine so I will say the original galaxy s1 (samsung fascinate for verizon). Shitty build, shitty battery, slow performance, had an amoled screen but it was pentile so it was shit. At the time the iPhone 4 wasn't on Verizon so I went with this. Big mistake.
