PC gamers, why are you here?

[MrTub]

I'm Swedish and that means English is my second language while you fat americans only learn one.

To be fair, lots of Americans learn Spanish or some other second language.

And stereotyping like that will just make you look like someone not worth paying attention to.

well its more fat people in US then healthy.. 2/3 of americans are fat
And I didn't know that many of you learn a second language, sorry for that statement then.

yeah well I hear lots of swedish people are racist so meh, who cares about the fatties. ;p

I didn't know we had that as a reputation. Well did you know there is more Spanish speaking people then English speaking people in the US?

im here due to alcohol and a broken condom or so my parents say...

made my day!!! xD

 

[A random person]

Like a lot of people said, you don't game 24/7, you can use your computer for other things.

Also, this isn't my gaming PC, I'm borrowing my mom's study computer since my main PC can be a bit finicky online.

You know, its very possible we ARE all playing PC games WHILE we post here. Maybe we post here while a party is gathering for an instance, or maybe I have Plants versus Zombies in Windowed mode as I type this. Or possibly were browsing Steam for a new game, downloading a patch or a mod, or doing computer maintenance to make sure out games run smoothly. Maybe we ARE playing games right now...

...But no seriously, we have lives, and do other things besides gaming. I bet even the most OCD, cracked out WoW junkie occasionally checks his E Mail and posts on forums. Your question does seem a little silly. I understand that your trying to imply that posting on internet forums is kind of a boredom prevention activity, but everyone needs variety.

 

[Idlemessiah]

Because I occasionally need a break from being an awesome killer of zombies and aliens and sucking at being a spy.

It also makes for good reading while you eat your evening meal. Just like I'm doing now

To the PC gamers here, Why are you here. I'm not saying 'GTFO' or anything I was just wondering why if you are on your PC and your a gamer, why arent you playing games? They're a hell of a lot better than internet forums.

I'm on here coz I have nothing to do and I dont have a gaming PC (cant afford one).

Y'know just wondering?

I always wondered why people on consoles would go to a PC just to talk about gaming. It never made any sense to me... PC gamers, well, you are already on your PC, plus a lot of squads/clans have websites, not sure if consoles if have squads...

Yeah they do, but they kinda suck though.

 

[Captain Pancake]

Well thank you Avykins for blowing my analogy apart

Yes, as soon as you quoted me and said that I started hunting for this clip. So this entire time has been spent combing through the damn video on youtube, downloading it, converting it to a workable format, snipping it, resnipping to get that exact bit then uploading it myself... All of the sake of a simple 3 second joke...
Thats how dedicated I am to you people!
That and I am really really bored. >.>
I soo need to get laid. -.-;;;

And we love you for it...

I guess I'm here because I like talking to people on MSN, and I can do this at the same time? My life doesn't revolve around videogames, it just happens to be one of my hobbies.

Obvious Troll is obvious.

Pretty obvious but I felt that it needed to be stated, for this troll thread to become whole.

Gee whizz, same reason you're here, minus you know.. the trolling.

Did you even read the first post?

 

[FLSH_BNG]

I'm not falling for this console 'tard's tricks...

 

[jh322]

That's like asking, "You're on the internet, why aren't you looking at pr0n?"
There are other things you can do.

This is probably the best analogy I've seen on this thread so far.

 

[DeathQuaker]

1. I'm at work; my boss'd probably be mad if I put the Sims 3 or Fallout 3 on my work computer.

2. Genre Wars. Duh.

3. Sometimes reading magazine articles online is what I feel like doing.

 

[Sassafrass]

I'm here as I can't be arsed to play games all day.
And the fact the only games I can really play are the old Civ games and Football Manager.

 

[The Hairminator]

Because sometimes you need to make social contact, atleast I do. If you feel like playing forever and ever, I won't stop ya.

I'm also REALLY tired of PC gamers vs. Console gamers threads aswell.

[small]even if this is not really one...[/small]

I did actually, from which is why I determined you must be trolling, as no one is THAT stupid.

I'm here because I have nothing better to do ATM, and am reading news.

After all, I am STILL A GAMER LIKE EVERYONE ELSE REGARDLESS OF CONSOLE.

 

[WickedSkin]

...because gaming doesn't have to be done 24/7? That's like asking why someone who is married is out having a walk instead of having sex.

Well you answered your own question didn't you?

Also it's easy to alt+tab out of a game and go on the internet if you feel like it.

I did? Explain

I'm sorry. This just... I mean wow. Ok here you go:

"...because gaming doesn't have to be done 24/7?"
That is why one would spend a little time on an internet forum.

Or do you want me to draw you a picture?

This is the best gods-damned question I've been asked all day, and I think you have one HELL of a fine point! Let me load up Steam, close my eyes, and use this handy little plunger-dart gun I've got at my desk to pick a game from across the room. I figure I can hit a 22-inch widescreen monitor from 15 feet out, right?

You guys are idiots.

 

[PxDn Ninja]

Why aren't you playing games on your console?

Perhaps, like me, he is at work.


Of course, this answer works for both PC and Console gamers (I'm a hybrid gamer myself).
