    Actually, I have successfully run it on that. Not through any real content, but it runs on a toaster, as the old phrase goes.

    Intel integrated graphics are basically wrong embodied in silicon form.

    tl;dr

    I used this in an email to an entire team at work the other week without thinking about it and ended up having to explain what it meant to eight people.

    I suppose I should be flattered that people actually read my group emails.

    If I got that at the end of one of ours I would send a congratulatory response. Keep it up.

    It probably helps that most of the emails I have cause to send to multiple people are of the form "For the love of God please stop doing [something] that you lot have apparently decided is a good idea for some reason".

    I guess I just see buying a laptop for the sole purpose of running a 6 year old game "decently" as a poor decision. To me it's spending too much or not spending enough depending on your perspective.

    Unfamiliar with the area. I was getting ~15 in Dalaran at the time – the secret was my 13" screen, I think.

    Unrelated: I feel insufficiently Christmassy. Anyone capable of making me a hat?

    you've played WoW; we're not meaning a laptop for BC content, but one that can handle Northrend/whatever the new areas are called.

    Besides, WoW is all a fair number of people play. That's cool.

    I actually just meant the sentence construction in general. I think because it uses that slightly comic form of making the sentence a few words longer than is strictly necessary. I do it with a fair degree of frequency myself.

    I agree it's funny, I was just commenting on the article I guess.

    That guy from Epic or 3DRealms or something had a serious meltdown in the media about the crappiness of Intel graphics chips a couple of years ago.

    He basically said that PC gaming is in the state it's in because of Intel, and that it was killing the industry.

    People, "all staff" is not an acceptable destination for this.

    I get emails four or five times a day, sent to the division-wide mailing list (several hundred people, across five sites) that say "Has anyone seen file [reference]? It isn't in the cabinet."

    This started intermittently about six months ago, and I think the general perception is that the window to crack down on it easily has been missed, so nobody bothers.
