Sometimes torrents can be a godsend.

I like everything you said and agree heartily, but about "narrow-minded, superiority complex PC gamers:" Perhaps some are, and there is the PC Master Race joke, but I tend to feel it's due to the constant ignorance of facts by console gamers. Most of what you said as positives for PC gaming are…
Most of their recent major games (except TF2 & Dota 2) released on consoles as well. Ie Portal series, L4D, CS. In fact the only games they seem to release as Steam exclusive are games that would be shit on console due to controls, or if there isn't enough demand shown on that platform.
The point you're making is that exclusives are basically the only reason to buy a more expensive (overall), inferior piece of hardware like a console? Perhaps I can interest you in some of the great PC exclusives...
The Steam Machine is a limited hardware spec PC with an OS pre-installed so that it emulates a console. It's market is console users and lazy/rich PC users. A current desktop PC has a better performance to value ratio than a console. That means it's a smarter buy (you will disagree with this but you'll be wrong,…
I really like everything you're saying and don't really have anything to add to it (other than I strive to do that as well) so I'll just give my +1! ;)
LOL I'll venture a claim that Behrditz was making a smart-alleck joke. He was being facetious.
People aren't really being fair to you. I know what it's like to be an outsider in something and then have people claim it as their own. When I was young I collected comic books, played PC (not accepted) & console (accepted) games, played D&D, along with more normal/accepted things that kids do. This would have…
The developer has to do it on PC and their multi-platform games cost less on PC. Interesting, it's almost as if MS/Sony is charging customers for services that are provided by free (& superior) applications on PC (chat programs/friends lists), as well as putting ads in the console UI to make extra revenue.
I understand your concerns, though as others have mentioned, not your direct opinions/approach. Many people are content to lead their lives without seeking knowledge of being one's own person beyond corporate interests. There are much more important areas of our lives to be aware of this issue in, but it does affect…
Exactly. It is subjective.
Look with all due respect, it takes a man/woman to admit when they're wrong (as opposed to a psychologically immature person), and therefore learn and fix one's behaviour. You commented that your limit was against "hitting a woman in a game". I would highly suspect you've perpetrated acts of violence against men in…
Both XBox360 and PS3 have had a much higher failure rate (5x for PS3 & 20x for XBox360) than a set of high quality PC parts (research the best parts, try Tom's Hardware). A PC allows for purchase of a decent aftermarket cooling system at a very inexpensive rate (ex: CoolerMaster $25 cpu cooler). The net result is…
That thing is a beast. Tom's Hardware reviews ftw!
I think you're partially correct. (Most) people look at the initial cost and incorrectly assume a console is cheaper, and even if it wasn't, it's more effort to save up the money. If somebody has large debts to pay off then I can understand the appeal of the console. Unfortunately that just adds another thing you…
People rarely factor in the cost of online play (minimum $40 over 6 years = $240) plus increased game price (easily $200+). Add those together you have a PC.
Battlefield 4 on XBone/PS4 is "upscaled" 720p. Apples.
People will have different ideas but I've played Dota for 9 years (doesn't mean I don't have 9 years of bad habits). I learned with Crystal Maiden, who is a strong early game non-carry ranged hero that's pretty easy to use. I would probably prefer Vengeful Spirit now, as CM used to not be ridiculously slow with low…
