Q. I'm talking games like Skyrim, Dragon Age, Dishonored, LEGO games, Diablo III, Assassin's Creed III and more. I looked up the specs and it seems like it'll run the games but I don't know for sure. Any thoughts?

A. The Processor is slow(1.4ghz), Mine is 2.8ghz.
And the Video card is not that great, very weak card for gaming standards today
and Windows 8...Dont pick windows 8, Its meant for tablets.Id stick with Windows 7...
I recommend not getting this one if you are into gaming,
If you are gonna buy a PC you might as well build it yourself, so you'll know exactly what your new computer can do...and its cheaper..atleast mine is, Only took me 18,000 Pesos(Phillipine Money)

What video or computer games are considered "popular culture"?
Q. why are they considered popular culture? i plan on debating with my teacher about it and why video games are but i need evidence
A. Video games on a whole have become a part of mainstream culture. However, like most things, there is also a niche in gaming that only appeals to a certain audience and not the mainstream. Unlike other mediums that are mainstream, the Popular part of gaming is actually very small and applies to what is labelled casual gaming. Examples of popular and casual games would be Call of Duty, Fifa/Madden and the wii as a whole which appealed to people outside the sub culture.
There considered popular culture because they are well known and akwnowledged by people who are none gamers. Whilst a lot of games would just be saw as a nerdy or geeky thing by people outside of gaming, games like Chrono Trigger and Ico.
If you need evidence, ask someone who you know doesn't play games. Preferably middle aged people work best. Ask them:
1) Name three video games.
2) Have you heard of the Wii.
3) Have you heard of Call Of Duty / Fifa / Madden (Either one, Fifa is you live outside of america, madden if you live in america) Even pokemon works aswell in this question.
4) Have you heard of Final Fantasy VII / Ico ( Both very popular games to gamers and both were very well publicised, but it's probably only known if you play games)
It may seem a bit strange, but you will see what I mean if you ask these questions.
The first question, if you ask a non gamer, will most likely say Mario, Pokemon, Fifa, pac man or call of duty.
For the second question, the person will probably say yes, but you may see a bit of a link with the first question.
3) They will probably say yes.
4) They will most likely say no.
Draw your own conclusions and evaluations from there.
