Personal computing discussed

both of your responses have embraced my quotes beautifully, I thank you for that.
as for the blind comments, I use the term blind in hopes he'll stop and figure it out because so far SPOOFE deliberately or not refuses understand the ramifications of his comments and how they work against his position let alone what others have said / are saying..... btw have any of your recent posts had anything to do with console vs gaming PC?... "clown" ... quite a double standard you are pushing.
p.s. because you are likely incapable of letting it go I'll ignore your offtopic, childish / fascist dreck going forward and get back on topic.

Because hey, if they can't see how superior the PC is to console gaming, then they must be idiots! .
Its not about being idiots, hey if someone doesn't pick the best retirement plan or get the best job or achieve all he can in life is he an idiot??? I don't think so. I might use the term ignorant and their is nothing wrong with that. The masses are a thing that cannot be changed they will exist and as SPOOFE has pointed out where part of the PC platform in decades gone by. I would argue though that the "MASSES"of old HAD to be more technically inclined to game on the PC in the days of old. This barrier does in and of its self shape the "MASSES" into something a little more... informed? I mean basically the barrier was like a test. Hey if you are this smart, competent, and dedicated... YOU are a PC gamer. Sure some guys who aren't in the double digits with their IQ's probably made it, carried along by smarter people doing things for them but doesn't really change the point of my argument. The Masses of PC gamers have and most likely never will be the same as the console masses. No barrier means any boob with a wallet can game, so your market is neither dedicated or informed on any level beyond how to purchase things. This is how development for the Discerning console mass has informed or otherwise shaped for better/worse the design of games for the past decade. Doesn't mean if you are a console gamer you are ignorant its more the other way around if you are ignorant you are likely a console gamer. So what I'm a console gamer luckily that fact in and of itself doesn't rob me of my intellect and knowledge. Don't worry guys you can play console games and still be smart competent people, actually I would argue more smart people playing consoles could influence that market, issue being that would require smart people to become a much larger share and that isn't really possible. No matter smart people have more money than poor people, pc gamers supposedly average something like 2 or 3 times the number of games of any console consumer from what I heard a while ago. Take that and the fact that every game doesn't have a licensing fee attached to it there is ALLOT more money per consumer in the PC market for publishers and developers. Tapping that means creating smart, creative games and not hindering them with DRM that disrespects the consumer.
or at the least notice how his own comments are working against his position

Was also drafting at the same time so it wasn't really my main concern. If you guys want I can go back and edit stuff on my lunch break. I'm not a complete idiot.

Now where have I seen this attitude before? Oh yeah!

And what's super-amusing is that these same people are most likely to be the ones rambling on about RDFs and how inferior OS X is.

True until Danny decided that his exquisite simile was buried too deeply in the thread and he wanted to type just to see his name on the screen again.

In other news my 3rd Xbox just RROD'ed three hours into Mass Effect 3. Downloading pirate copy for PC now, since I'm not paying for a game twice.

The reason I think PC's are better for gaming than consoles, IMO....
1. Sound quality. You can add better sound to a PC with a sound card. The only limit is your wallet. Consoles, your stuck with their solution. Yes, there are third-party USB addons out there for consoles, but choice is better with a PC.
moresmarterthanspock wrote:2. High-Defness. Consoles, your limited to 1080p, AFAIK. PCs, you could get about twice that, maybe more, again, depending on your wallet.
moresmarterthanspock wrote:3. Custom MODs. Shouldn't require any explanation.
moresmarterthanspock wrote:4. Load times. With a RAID controller, your wallet is the only limit. Consoles, yes, they have hard drives as well, but your stuck with what they offer.
moresmarterthanspock wrote:5. UI(user interface). IMO, the Xbox 360 menu has sucked since they added Wii-styles avatars in the UI. PC, not an issue. Very customizable. Yes, they even offer KDE for M$ Windows.
moresmarterthanspock wrote:6. Mouse. IMO, mice are better for FPS games. I can't stand using a console controller for aiming at something. As far as the Wii-mote and Kinect goes, I hope it passes as a fad. Keyboard and mouse are the way to go.
moresmarterthanspock wrote:7. Choice of GPU and graphics libraries. With consoles, your stuck with what they offer. Xbox 360(customized DirectX), PS3(OpenGL ES 2.0), Wii(GX, proprietary nintendo thing). PC, you have choices, DirectX, OpenGL, and a few others, even homebrew if you have the skills.
