I'm more of a computer guys, but consoles have their benifits. What it really comes down to are my favortie kind of games. I love FPS and RTS games, which are really hard to do on console. I suck at Halo on console, but I'm at least decent on computer. Other things, like fighting games and adventure games and anything where you have to hit several buttons at once are better on consoles. Since I like FPS and RTS style better, I play more on computer. Although, I did grow up as a console gamer, and I still love playing games on console. I just play PC more.

In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.

So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
And I write the blog for their website.

Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O

Yeah, if you're a computer illiterate moron. If you put 5 minutes into it the payoff is much greater.

Don't you have to pay for Xbox live? Doesn't the PS2 have a harddrive?

It's so amazingly simple that if you're confused by it, you're also probably confused with such simple tasks including walking. And breathing.

...No, you don't. If that was true, the industry would collapse because people wouldn't upgrade every two months. You can get a near top line gaming PC for as low as $1500. My PC rules, and I spent a measly $800 after upgrades. And mine is mid to high end. Trust me, you don't need to spend a lot of money.

I really wish people would learn about stuff before they judge it.

Dude $1500 is a fucking lot of money. Consoles cost like a fraction of that. My 2500+ AMD driven comp w/ 512 RAM and brand spanking new mobo and case cost under 300 bucks because I had the media drives and harddrive already. It's been on for a month, runs ANY game, and hasn't slowed yet, at all. Well... I also had the monitor an peripherals.

If you're counting new monitor and everything TIP TOP of the line, maybe 1500. But that would last you a fucking long time.

I prefer PCs for games. It's sad that I'd have to run most of my games under some damned compatability layer because companies that could easily port their games to decent operating systems (x86 *NIXes) without suffering too much of a profit loss don't, because the company executives are greedy bastards.

Too bad I'm poor. My monitors are crappy CRTs which have serious problems. My primary 17" CRT has a slightly damaged cable and tends to overheat. The OSD is fucked up, and the geometry settings don't work right. My secondary display sends out a lot of electrical noise and has a degraded picture quality when it is rendering something bright. My "server" CRT is only good for working with a text console. It has a terrible color contrast and blinks out every now and then. I need a job to get some HAWT LCDs.

You must be a graphical artist. Otherwise, you wouldn't have a dual display (you lucky bitch ).

On the topic of things fading, my right speaker (2.1 system) is fading like crazy all of the sudden. May JUST have to upgrade to 5.1. Oh, well.

I'm a terrible graphical artist. I tinker around with music and I program. The second monitor really helps out with everything. :D
