I don't know that I agree with the idea that games will always be playable. I tried very hard to get Diablo 1 to play on my PC. Not working. Diablo II... kinda works. Sort of. It took a lot of digging and a lot of experimenting to come up with a workaround, but it wasn't easy, and it shouldn't have been…

So you're telling me that you can build/buy a PC for the price of a new console and it will last as long as that console, without any need for hardware upgrades?

I prefer physical media. I know I have a copy of the game at all times. What if the game is no longer offered by the provider and you've deleted it. Do you get a refund?

OK OK you made your point :P

Some games are cheaper, if you're willing to forego physical copies and then you need an intrusive service like Steam on, consuming more resources.

$250/3 years vs a console over how many years? And this is just video. What about the rest of the hardware? My 360, even with the RROD issues, has lasted a LONG time.

The last guy I had a conversation with about video cards said he spends at least $150/card and changes it ever 2-3 years.

I do believe them. I believe console gaming is far more affordable than PC gaming. I believe I have to replace console hardware far less frequently than PC hardware.

Oh yay, go PC, spend hundreds of dollars per year to keep up with hardware requirements because development won't optimize their games for existing hardware. Yay.

Actually, when it comes to mass marketing like this, it should. Sorry, but it should. Its not blown out of proportion. I'm not leaving a flaming turd on their doorstep. I'm choosing not to support a company that is not delivering on a promise. Its not like I'm never buying chips again. I'm just not getting Lays.

Nobody explained anything. The Doctor wondered why Amy couldn't remember the Daleks and then got pissed off because the Dalek wanted to give him tea or something, and then the badonkadonk iDaleks showed up, then they sent a bunch of prop planes into space, and then defused roboman's bomb cuz feelings, and then I…

That would be great! All we'd need is an explanation of why nobody remembers anything else from the RTD era (like the Earth being moved by Daleks) and we'll be all set.

Missing from the list.

Can the Virtual Console games purchased on the Wii be transferred to the Wii U?

But Mondas or Cybus?

I'm staying away from home for a few weeks, and my commute has grown to over an hour in bumper to bumper traffic. I don't know how people do this every day for years without becoming violent soci0paths.

And that's why you haven't cultivated a healthy hatred for driving :)

YOU love driving. Do you love bumper to bumper commuting? I'd rather be napping.

For my 2 cents worth, its no more bullshit than film and television critiquing. That's not to say there isn't bullshit involved, but it's not all bullshit. I'm not a wine expert by any means. When I read the labels or go wine tasting, I can't taste the subtle hints of chocolate, cassis, saddle leather, dog breath,…

This is assuming I eat Lays now to begin with :) I'm not a big potato chip fan. I was really interested in trying the chicken & waffles flavor, so my enthusiasm was high - which made this snubbing by Lays that much worse. If they don't give enough of a crap to send the flavors to us, why should I support them? …
