Netbooks are the silent handshakes of the cool people word processing club, and I’m bitter about electively being shunned. When I’m blogging I can feign membership momentarily, but guys li...

I've already bought a Netbook and I'm kind of annoyed that it can't game to be honest. I don't expect it to run Crysis or anything, but being able to run Left 4 Dead, even with graphical tweaking would be nice. :) I love my Aspire One, but World of Goo only keeps me going for so long.
Please either shove it into a notebook or some other small space... I'd buy it either way. ;)
I have a laptop for school and some gaming, but it can't even handle some of the newer games. It would be awesome if there was a way to mix the netbook's size with viable gaming options, but I'm still wary -- I'll believe it when I see it.
Try. I'm cautiously enthusiastic on this point.
I already bought a netbook to game. I have an EEEPC 900ha model, its 9 inches and fits in my purse, and it can (and does) run several games. I recently installed GTA: Vice city on it. before that I had Fallout 1 & 2, Baldur's Gate Trilogy (a mod of BG2 that includes the original game attached seamlessly to the sequel and its expansion) and regularly played Diablo 2 and Starcraft (using a wireless mouse.) it can't run some of the fancier more recent games, but it holds its own for older games (which is kind of all I play on pc anymore anyway.)
if they made a fancier platform for portable gaming, I'd definitely consider buying it, provided one caveat: I want to be able to use a plug-in numpad. I use the numpad for my custom binds on my desktop pc, but on the eee, when I plug in an external USB numpad, it disables a block of keys in the middle of the keyboard (which function as the numpad when Fn and numlock are pressed, or when a usb numpad gets plugged in, and tells the keyboard that numlock was pressed...)
I would absolutely love this - having to lug around my 17" laptop for gaming is ridiculous. This would also be amazing for emulators and such, but shhhh!
(also, you are more handsome than Mario Lopez - the cad.)
If they did, I'd certainly be interested; it'd be like a PC handheld. I think it'd be a great idea.
If you did this, I'd be all over it like fat kids on cake.
The nVidia ION looks like the solution to me. I don't need a netbook that can play new games at amazing resolutions. I need a netbook that I can comfortabley play recent games on with no troubles. A casual bit of TF2 during my lunch break at work? Absolutely. With the great range of cheap casual games available on Steam, a netbook with good performance has the spec and versatility to match my DS.
