Filipino Team Fortress 2 Enthusiast Plays on Asus Eee PC 1000H
By Rico, 7:07 am Sun Jan 11 2009 - Gaming - 5 Opinions
“I got the game running (sic) on my small 10″ 1.6Ghz Intel Atom based laptop with GMA Intel 945 Chipset.”
Thus began the interesting—but unverified—account of Steam user “The Neighbor”, who describes the results of his tweaks as instructed by a Steam forum thread (which apparently details how to run games on the dreaded integrated Intel GPU).
More of an experiment rather than a desperate penny-pincher trying to get the popular multiplayer shooter running on his basic netbook, the tweaks hardly produce an optimum gaming experience. Neighbor warns that framerates drop to as low as 10 per in outdoor environments, and that the “Discolorations with the characters is bad that you sometimes can’t tell the enemy. (sic)”
Still, chalk one up for Filipino ingenuity! It’s not the kind of original thinking that Takipsilim-haters would love to see, but any Filipino who steps up always makes me teary-eyed.

Interesting. I have a Asus Eee PC 1000 and I would probably never try this. Glad someone out there is diligent.

Is there anyway to get tf2 other than online because purchasing on the internet is not a possibility for me.
I have the money but not the means.
also does anyone knows where I can buy tf2 here in the philippines?

kurten: You can try looking for The Orange Box in a store… but you’ll end up having to sign up for a Steam account to play it anyway.
