The used PC gaming market did not collapse on itself, the used PC gaming market NEVER EXISTED. Stores stopped taking back PC games even before CD games showed up because it was too easy to copy everything. Your other points are fine but let's stick to facts here.

That's quite a wall of text. I'm sure you had a point in that haphazard mess but whatever it was, you negated it by starting with the incorrect statement that I "think consoles are pointless", whatever that means. I have no idea how you come to that conclusion; maybe you were actually replying to a different…

Which is why I said "Bethesda should be condemned more than they have".

One of what? Who doesn't know by now that the only reason to play any of Bethesda's open-world RPG's on a console is if you don't have a PC? Oblivion, Fallout 3, Skyrim, yeah they're buggy as hell and Bethesda should be condemned more than they have for it, but those games are AMAZING platforms to build mods on, and…

I tend to think of him mostly in terms of Steam, which (in my opinion) has kept PC gaming alive.

Considering this is a video game website, it's natural that a political gaffe involving video games would be an article here. Sure there are much more important things to deal with in politics, but those go on other websites.

Number of triangles isn't what makes games more realistic, it's everything else, the lighting, shaders, particles.

Uhm, that's exactly what I SAID.

Uhhhh, no you can't. Do some fucking research. GDDR5 is only on graphic cards. PC system RAM is only DDR3 so far.

Consoles do more with less. They're optimized purely for playing games, while PC's are designed to do everything. The PS3 and 360 had similar levels of technology compared to the PC's of the time, but they were able to put out more power and graphics than could be done on Windows boxes back then.

No kidding... I've been 80 years old for AGES now. Born on January 1st too, lucky me.

For the first year or two the new consoles will have graphics (or at least the capability) far beyond the current generation of PC graphic cards. The consoles will be optimized for games and developers will probably be able to get more out of them than "standard" PC's. This is how it was with the 360 and the PS3. …

“We are outraged by this behavior. People must understand what is right and wrong. Stealing material like this on the internet is a threat to economies worldwide,” a Pirate Bay spokesman told TorrentFreak.

People who can sing well rarely use Auto Tune, which is why most pop stars these days use Auto Tune. :)

The restrictions were regarding appearances for the most part. If you made a character that could fly and had a red cape, blue tights and red underwear on the outside and named him "$uperm@n", you could DO it, but one day you'd log in and your character would be dressed in pink with a tutu and renamed "38492582".

GOG's release of DK2 comes with a patch they made that fixes the crashes and lets you use hardware acceleration. No DOSbox, no compatibility, nothing. Works right off the bat.

This is the Dungeon Keeper 3 we've all been waiting for.

Yeah, surprisingly so. The bots actually have personalities and the books have become fun to read.

Ditto. The Banhammer needs to be reinstuted. Assholes like these are running rampant because they know there's no repercussions to being a dick.

I'm such an old gamer that when you mentioned Romero my first thought was this Romero.
