But I see you're a big FPS fan, so I say you should play through all Half-Life series, Left 4 Dead 2 (there isn't much point in playing the first L4D since L4D2 has almost all campaigns from the first game).

Civilization V is a great turn-based strategy game. It easily gets you sticked to it for hours. It makes 4 hours go away like dust in the wind.

And if you're facing your parents and really getting The Witcher II, I recommend you play The Witcher first. It's not necessary, but it sure will help understand the whole thing. That's what I'm doing (it's been some months since I last played The Witcher though. And I'm a little confused about what's going on, doing so many quests at the same time).

If you're feeling like getting cult, play Psychonauts. It's a bit old, a simple platformer, but it's a great game, filled with personality.

I don't think the laptop is gonna be able to run L4D2 D: I posted a link here to a thread where I have all the parts, it's in the original post of this thread. Perhaps I can run it on low settings. About Half Life. I have played a little of HL2 on Xbox through The Orange Box, but that's it, but I have to say it's really good! I'd love to beat it one day. But the thing is, Half Life 1. I have it actually, it's an old game so I figured it'd run well on the current laptop I have right now. But the game and environments, mostly environments, are just really dark and depressing in my opinion :/ I can't really get into it. Is it necessary to the story? Should I play it or just skip it? >_<
