why pc gaming SHOULD die

[IndyBrit]

PC gaming is the worst form of computer gaming out there - except for all other forms of computer gaming.

Yes, that's blatantly stolen.

I have cod5 on PS3 and I will get 30 kills and 3 deaths in a game, and then when I go around to a friends house and play it on comp, I find taht I am dieing 30 times and getting 3 kills. I think it is down to preference and which one you are used to.

The last consol system that I had was an xbox, not the 360 the older one and I only really enjoyed one game on that and that's the splinter cell games. Everything else I play on the PC because I just find it a lot more convienent and plus you can't play aoe on a consol. When your in class and very bored what are you going to do? Bring your xbox 360 in with a tv and play cod5??? I just play it on my macbook pro.

Graphics settings and ping have a lot to do with it. In PC COD 5, there are the quick (those with good ping and low graphics) and the dead (everyone else).

But if you really want a challenge, fight without automatic weapons... that's what I do. In that case, I feel like I actually have accoplished something.

Well, sometimes I break down and set up an MG 42, but that's off the record

yeah. This lazy lawyer won't ever stop PC gaming, either; but that's mainly because I am a creature of habit, and PC gaming has been a habit of mine since, oh, about 1988 :roll: The last console I played was the SNES... we're talking 1993 here, people I liked it, but then I just totally got wrapped up in PC games and never looked back.

Wow, I wasn't even alive then :-P Were PC's steam powered?

They actually were. It was tough having to put coal and wood into the burner back then. Sometimes your in a game of pong online and the damn thing would quit and your rating would fall. My pong cuetech went from 2540 to 1320. It really sucked.

Haha, not quite, but everything ran from a 5 1/4" floppy disc and you had to type stuff into a DOS prompt to run the game. Also, mouses were "new technology" in those days... so were monitors with more the 3 colors.

Good golly, the concept of the Commodore 64 would totally blow the kid's mind.

MS Dos, by any chance??? I remember that from Windows 95. I had to type it in to play Grand Prix 94 :-P

No worries, these computers and this interweb thing is just a fad, it will never catch on.

I thought it was pacman =(

Who didn't love Summer Games on the C64? Many a joystick were broken trying to set the record on the 100M dash.

How about Raid Over Bungeling Bay?

And, I do believe the C64 might have the largest library of pirated games ever!

Here, for Highlander and the rest of the kids....

And, who says the C64 is dead?
