this is why i went back to pc. games like battlefield 3 just look 1,000 times better on my 55 inch led. so i spend 200ish dollars on a new video card every 18 months or so. having a steady job and being fiscally sound allows me to spend the money. that whole "pc is already outdated" thing is amusing. anything that produces value will require maintenance and eventual upgrading. the play value of it is paid in full by the experience.Quote:

Also, I made the switch from PCs to MACs about 6 years ago and have never looked back. That's why I really don't get involved on what's better.... in the end, does it really matter as long as you are enjoying it?Quote:

PS: I know A LOT of 35 Tangos over in SK. Break some stuff so they have to do some work, ok?Quote:

DAMN PAINFUL).
But I really love it when they start shouting "facts", dropping insults, listing specs off the side of a box, trying to use big words to make them seem more intelligent, etc. Anything they can to make themselves feel better about themselves. Heck, if my real life sucked so bad that I would have to go on the internet and insult people on their personal decisions to make me feel better about myself, then I probably would do the same.Quote:

JxSiN, trust me, we're already in hot water right now because of the insane maintenance bills we have. people are going insane because of the amount of time and miles we're putting on our tanks now. we think it's hilarious. but i do honestly say "sorry" to taxpayers. we're just trying to stay on top of our game! ;)
I like to play on consoles for all that as been said, for the confort of playing layed down in bed or the sofa, because you by the game and you don`t have to worry with nothing else.
Nothing against the PC gamers either, i just prefer not to play in my PC and one of the main reasons is that i`m completely unable to play with the mouse/keyboard, believe me i tryed more then enough and i just can`t. Last time i played successefully a PC game was with my Timex Sinclair, and that was long long ago.
You need at least ,for that matter, to drink Tuborg. It gives a hell of a punch :)Quote:
