What are you talking about? Anything but the pc is suxx0r!111. In all seriousness, I think that we can all recognize that every console has its share of fanboys, and in that way the PC is no exception.Of course, console (pc included) flame wars are often the most pathetically entertaining...

I think that this is always going to be an issue with a larger forum. Eventually, when you have a user base of thousands, like the PlayStation forums or the RvB forums, moderators are unable to stop the abundance of spam and insults taht fly about forums. A forum like the Escapist seems focused...

That one caught my attention too. It degenerated so quickly into some sort of discussion about insults that are neither poignant nor topical, and the level of immautrity reached an all time high.

Let me start off by saying taht the Escapist seems to be the most polite forum as far as respect for other peoples ideas. I know that this is not saying too much. But to be honest, I am appaled at other forums and the way that people treat each other. It is incredible to go to a forum about...

I love how this has gotten into a poltical flame war. I dont rmemebr that being the topic...

As fun as generalizations are, I hope we can begin to look past them. Every vegetarian I know is a self-rightous militant crusader, oh and every meat eater Ive ever known is a barbarian. And every muslim Ive ever known is a terrorist. And every republican I have ever known is a war hawkish...

To Sgt. Pepper. Ok, basic economic here, like Uriahz was saying. Any decrease in demand (however small) will result in the demand curve shifting left (essentially getting smaller). Now an article I read about vegetarianism from a legitimate newspaper (and not a Vegetarian Re-education Center...

*sigh* I think that this is an issue with the silent majority. I agree with wewontdie 100%, because there does seem to be alot of anti vegetarian hate (ive been a vegetarian since I was 14 so I am a little biased, obviously). There are very few vegetarians who are crusaders for their beliefs...

Well the community for Trackmania is inhabited by sociopaths. Some of the tracks are proven to be possible (they have to be when verified), but you would never guess this when you try them out.

Im a big fan of Insurgency and Red Orchestra, I absolutly love realism in games.

My desktop is eternally blank. I like it better that way. I have steam and opera in quick launch though, and I launch almost all games through steam.

DDR3 is too expensive as of yet, at least for most people, and the boards taht support it are tpically more expensive. For just a little more you can upgrade to a Q6600 processer, which you can pick up for real cheap now.

My two personal favorites are SourceForts (which is not too popular anymore, but its basically lego building with guns) and Insurgency (which Im sure you have heard about by now). And Rooster I agree, Battlegrounds is the shit. Its so different than most fps offerings with automatic rifles and...

I think that games like Insurgency and RO are funa s they are (but I have always been saying this and apparently Im int he minority). Im sorry but COD4 and the like are arcade games with a dose of gritty modern paint. The problem is the more realistic a gmae is the steeper the learning curve...

I enjoyed UT3, but I cant say that I enjoyed playing online. When you *could* find a game, I would not say that the player base was particularly inspired. I have to say I only really enjoyed this game at LAN's. However, I didnt think it was as good as 2004, even though it was quite a pretty...
