What my question was getting at was that sometimes you're not talking about running away or chasing anybody. Sometimes it's a battle, and having the capability to spread your weapons out, and for them to work independently of each other, would be an advantage. It doesn't matter how fast or agile a carrier can go when

What about it being a smaller, more maneuverable ship? You can load weapons on it that will damage a larger ship just as easily. And it can attack at many more angles because it has the ability to split from formation and go for weak points in the enemy's hull. Is outrunning a target always an issue?

That still doesn't square up with your ability to play RTS with it, nor have you really explained what's so uncomfortable about it. You don't even play online, so it can't be stress, heh.

What, exactly, is uncomfortable about KB/M? Is it really the interface, or is it that you're probably getting wrecked by PC FPS players? Seriously, KB/M is way better for FPS - always has been, always will be. And yes, I feel justified in saying that, given your assessment. If you can handle RTS with it, FPS should be

I didn't call you stupid. You pasted the same reply to a bunch of the replies made to you. You're trying so hard to defend yourself, but you're making mistakes left and right.

No, you said you made a joke, and your conviction in your defense means you were trying to be clever. Nobody agreed. Instead of trying to reply to every single detractor in this thread (control freak, much?), just stop. You're embarrassing yourself.

It's a tired joke, regardless of your nationality. I got it, and the point is you're not clever.

Why would he welcome that kind of risk to his campaign? He doesn't need to use taxpayer money to buy a search ad. It's campaign money, full stop. Your cynicism is unwarranted.

If that was her point, then I think she missed the point of talking about gaming on the PC. We never used mouse gestures and stuff to install/get to our games before, and it would seem that we won't be in Windows 8 either. So if said control options don't explicitly get in the way of accessing our games, and we can

I beg to differ. If anybody knows about "regressive" keyboard shortcuts, it would be PC gamers. Alt-Tab and Alt-F4 are probably the most well-known of the bunch, followed by Shift-Tab (credit to Steam), and Tilde (default console bind, also good push-to-talk bind for many games and Ventrilo/Teamspeak). Anybody who

It's simply because it was the top end card of the last generation. There were limited quantities to begin with. You made a good decision to stick with one, as it's more than enough to play any game @1080p coming out until 2014, most likely.

I started talking down to you because you put yourself there. My reference to jabbering was preemptive, and it turned out you never used the example that I brought up. So really, you didn't jabber...that is, until you threw half a dozen insults at me. I'm not talking down to you because I'm superior. I just have more

You're making a lot of assumptions about a game you've never played.

Neither of those are multiplayer, let alone one that supports 50+ players. And before you start jabbering about the recent Just Cause 2 multiplayer mod, realize that every one of those 1000+ players is basically the same character, with the server bouncing everybody's synced characters to each client. There are no

Windows XP, Vista, or 7

Your scaling is way off. Even if you boosted all the 2D backgrounds to HD, improved textures, and remastered sound (which won't add much with the lack of voice acting), you wouldn't get past the ~35GB of FFXIII on PS3 (and XIII-2 is less than half that size). It would not take decades. They're not starting from

Fermi cards are loud, but the 5xx/6xx series are quieter.

Um, Nintendo has gotten away with it numerous times. Staying "a generation behind" means they can sell hardware at a profit from Day 1. Even if they didn't "win" a console generation, i.e. N64 and Gamecube, they still didn't take any annual losses in the 30 years they've been selling console hardware. That is, they
