Except that you ignored the point of my post. Not everyone agrees with you that "PCs can do eet moar betta." You keep repeating the point, the same way someone could keep repeating the point "pickup trucks are better, they can do everything other cars can, everyone should drive a pickup truck." Perhaps you could carry six people inside a pickup if you shell out extra bucks for a King Cab and camper shell... but most folks looking to drive with five passengers would just buy a van instead, and look at Mr. Pickup with the same sense of amazed disbelief that I do when looking at the "PCs are the One True Platform, and all others are mere shadows of its Holy Greatness" crowd.Richard Groovy Pants said:
Not everyone wants to get elbow-deep in PC guts. Not everyone wants to mess with router ports and driver updates and patches to patches. Not everyone wants to fool around with gigabit-per-second switches to play multiplayer in their own homes. Not everyone wants to run the Red Queen's Race with their hardware.
My comment on the free market was intended to draw attention to the fact that consoles sell, and sell well. If PCs really could do everything that consoles could, but "moar betta and cheepa", they'd have driven consoles out of said free market.
I'm not saying that you have to play on consoles; I'm just saying that you have no justification for telling others to ditch consoles as PCs can do it all, because it's obvious that the Real World doesn't agree with you.

Steve actually i found that a bit brutal towards PC owners.......not saying that your a brutal man but dude the PC is something everyone need's in the house. Its like one of the most popular forms of communication. I don't disagree because i get a bit fed up with the constant updates, and my computer complaining it needs something i haven't got but its all automatic Download all you need to do install it, PC these day's are easy to maintain.Anton P.

keep on truckin'Indigo_Dingo said:And this will be controversial, but I still say that Valve should invest a bit more time in the console versions of their games (like actually doing something about the Ps3), such as instilling some measure of local multiplayer. I think some form of scaled down local multiplayer for TF2 would be really fun (cripple the spies, but are they able to convince anyone other than the sentries anymore?). And the co-op for Left 4 Dead has to be able to be local.Altorin said:you would need some sort of miracle to do that most of the time.Richard Groovy Pants said:

But it takes a hell of alot of effort to get into PC gaming, I mean people are lazy asses, I prove that and all those Dell Tech Support stories basically show how stupid some people can be. Even in this high-tech society people don't want to learn, and my Dad's job proves it even more (he had to reteach someone the basics of PCs and he's working on god damn super computers/cell chips!)
Once you get into the PC club, it's much easier for you know because you're in the "know". You know what you need to know about the "know" in PC gaming, ya know?[/bad pun] So that second computer you're going to build is going to be much easier for you now that you know what you're doing and what everything is.
It's the grade school analogy I said here; start with elementary school (wii), go up to middle school (360), go up to high school (PS3), until finaly you're in college (PC). I'm not saying everyone has to do that evolution, people are perfectly fine with the Wii/360/Ps3/PC, but in terms of how complicated their experiences can be then it's more or less like grade school.
