new computer tomorrow - SO PUMPED

Son of Wisconsin · 03-30-09, 08:10 PM

I'll be able to unbox her and start playing SH4 as soon as I get home from work tomorrow!

Picked up my retail copy of SH4 gold the other day. Kind of bummed tho, doesn't have the sweet map inside like SH3 did, just a ref card and disk.
I've been playing SH3 on and off on my trusty dell 4800 (p4 1.6, 768 RAM, Radeon 9600) for a longgg time. I've been waiting for this for a long time, SH4 looks soooo damn good.

Welcome to Subsim, Son! And your first visit to Subsim is a fine occasion for the last use of the old computer! Hope you enjoy SH4 a lot and be sure to ask questions here if you have any issues.

Biggest word of advice: SH4 is not SH3. It is quite different, while it looks reassuringly similar. Try to treat it like you're learning a brand new game and don't expect everything to work the same way. That way you'll enjoy the difference, not be frustrated by it.

Welcome fellow midwesterner!!!

Assuming you are from WI

. North or South?

I can see why you're pumped to get your new rig. That's quite a step up!

Have Fun!!! (And check out the mods)

Go to track the shipment from school this afternoon and I see INCORRECT ROUTING - FARMINGVILLE NY. (it was in lansing at 5 am this morning) Now it's coming tomorrow instead of today, not that big of a deal but jeez, how many packages have I ordered from UPS and they've never had one be late?

Welcome aboard. Nice rig.

You are waiting on your new PC - I am waiting on my copy of the game! LOL I got a copy of SH4 for $10 bucks on Ebay... then discovered this great community and all the mods available. Wow... gotta love it.

It will be interesting to see if my current rig will run SH4... 3.2GHz p4 CPU, 2 Gb RAM, ATI Radeon 9600/X1050 w/256 video memory, Creative SB Audigy sound. I am already considering a new system... but hoping to get a few licks in on this 4 year old system first.

Anyway didn't mean to jack the thread... just ready to give SH4 a whirl myself!

thanks. I'll try to post some pictures later when it comes if people are interested.

Akula4745 · 03-31-09, 09:36 PM

I'd love to see it, my fellow bilge rat!

LOL - love the forum avatars!
