» Sun Apr 24, 2011 10:50 am Sorry, sarcasm doesn't translate well through text, it wasn't my intent to be rude, at least with any intent of malice. People see punctuation on a forum and instantly get defensive, so it's my fault.
Seriously though, nothing on earth would make me happier than consoles being phased out completely, the only thing I can't justify about PC gaming, is the total lack of user-friendliness of it all. Some people just want to throw in a disc and teabag n00bs on mediocre FPS's, without having to deal with all the software/hardware issues that come with PC's, especially since a striking number of individuals in this age, despite how technology permeates our society, completely lack basic understanding and maintenance skills.
Oh, and one more thing I just don't like about PC gaming is the "White Whale Syndrome". I'm an avid overclocker and performance tweaker, always trying to get that best experience, but no matter how hard you push it, the overall goal always seems to alude you. Doesn't matter if you're running a 250 Planet, 10 Empire game of Sins of a Solar Empire at 66fps at max fleet capacity, you always want more.

makes me wish back to the early 2000 when all "platforms" etc had their own games. Speaking of that, I might check my bookcase for alien vs predator 2 or dungeon siege 1... good times...
