My first games were on the commodore 64 and the sega mega drive, granted that these consoles were older than I was when I got them from my dad but as such consoles will always be a part of my gaming life and I can't really help that.
That being said I do love to game on my PC, more often than not if I have a game on PC I want to play and a game on console the PC will always take priority. It amazes me that it worked out like that since every gamer I knew up until about 2 or 3 years ago was a complete console fanboy. I started PC gaming when I got my first computer about 6 years ago, granted given my age I was 12 and it was a second hand "Tiny" desktop computer that had been mid range when it was new and was about as powerful as a toaster with a screen compared to the gaming rigs of the time, but I didn't know that back then, to me there was this monolithic cream coloured tower in my room that was a gateway into a world of games that I'd never knew existed.
It gave me my first taste of fantasy RPGs with neverwinter nights and dungeon siege, it gave me RTS with C&C red alert 2. While these games may not have been the best on offer at the time you have to keep in mind I was young, I didn't know there was a "gaming community", I hadn't even indulged the notion that there were groups of gamers out there sharing games and ideas, I only had access to the internet for 30 minutes a day via dial-up before then, and even when we did get broadband, I was a young boy around other young boys with the world at their fingertips how was I supposed to know about things like "System Shock" I was too busy on stick death and newgrounds, trying to find some form of gratuitous violence that I could show my mates.
So shun me if you want, PC is my preferred platform but I'll always love my consoles.
...and i am outraged because all the games ive been interested in lately are all released for the friggin consoles!!!
