nub

You got that right. I played like 5 free-for-all matches last night and mostly got totally owned. I did have 7 kills on one match. Not great, but better than 0 or 2.

Still playing Final Fantasy XII. Addicting, in a Diablo kind of way.

Only better

Yes that's what I said, "new tv or screen". In your example though the computer was almost twice the price of the console even without the screen, so I wouldn't say it is comparable really.

No, it wasn't twice the price. It cost a third more, and I was using the current price of the 360, not the launch price. Anyhow, to build a computer comparable to the 360 would cost about $400 at this point.

Hell fucking yeah.

No.

Freedom with limits is good for kids. They grow up to be people.

So...."a little pot is ok, but crack is totally out of the question!"

No. You're being stupid. He's correct. You let them play video games so they won't smoke dope (and also because it's a little harsh not to let them play video games).

 

[Vilden]

Yeah, am I missing something here, or why wouldn't they be allowed to play?

 

[waif]

i dunno...xorv's post was a little retarded.

 

[mutantllama]

Haven't you guys learned anything?

 

[waif]

wat

 

[mutantllama]

Don't worry about Xorv's posts. You are wasting your time.

 

[waif]

oh. ok. I didn't know.

I can't play games on the computer... idk... maybe if I got a controller to use with it I could. But I hate the stupid controls you use with a keyboard and mouse.
Also, I personally like FPS better on a console, there's something more exhilarating about having to aim and concentrate under stress, rather than just point. click. dead.
The only thing that the computer has is its game selection. Because pretty much every good game will eventually come out for PC.

@WeAreInFlames... I, and most of us, can't just build our own computers, so for something with that power is going to take a lot more money for us.

This talk about building a decent gaming pc for $400 is nonsense.

 

[Pessimism]

^.

 

[Vilden]

Indeed, last time I built a computer it definitly costed over $400 and then I didn't even upgrade the graphic card because as I don't play much anyway and as I don't play I didn't bother with the newest processor, etc. I would really like to see WeAreInFlames show what parts he would use to put together a good gaming station for $400.

do you have any idea what you're talking about? lol

 

[seedofvengeance]

I thought I was pretty clear... try sounding the words out.

This point is bullshit tbh.

 

[seedofvengeance]

This is why I said "personally." It's my preference, am I not allowed to have one?
