PC Guy vs. Console Guy

Eli tries to pick a fight - In case you missed it, Eli and I continue our Siskel & Ebert, Yankees vs. Red Sox, Spy vs Spy, Democrat vs. Republican, Ecks vs Sever debate/feud.

Eli's reply

How many times in one week do I have to school you?! ;)

.

Yes the Broncos suck (the Rams suck much worse however)...

Indeed they do. However, they have a legit excuse, as opposed to the Donkey Flops. The Rams starting QB, RB, 2 WRs and 3 of the 5 starting O-linemen are hurt and/or out for the season. And that's just on Offense. Um... Cutler (he of the non-manly voice doing what should be a manly voice over radio commercial) suddenly has "I can't find MY guy" syndrome. And thank you for bashing your so called defense. Good lord.

.

The Rockies? Absolutely unreal.

Incredible! As a baseball fan, you gotta love seeing this kinda thing from a small market, out of nowhere team. Especially when the Spankees went down in flames without putting up any fight. BEAUTIFUL! Again, if your any kind of baseball fan, ya gotta be happy for Helton. I said it weeks ago... and as much as I hate the overused moniker, if there was ANY "Team of Destiny" - we're watching it in the Rockies.

.

I'm a Red Sox fan...

I like the Sox too, but after last nights drubbing by the Injuns... things look very bleak for the ole Bostonians.

Eli cracks me up with his Halo 3 hate, I've never seen a bigger H3 hater in my life.

Not really. I gave the original Halo a glowing 9 out of 10 score (officially, in public - it was one of my first reviews for GameDaily). And that was the PC version, which everyone (including deaf, dumb and blind people) said was worse then the way k001 k0nz013 version. I absolutely LOVED it. I do hate Microsuck though. The port job of Broken Halo 2 (which again took forever) to the PC and coincidently to the craptacular Vistadodaday OS was HORRIBLE. The graphics were puke, the online matching was puke. I didn't finish it and have actually removed it from my PC. I still have the original Halo installed though. As for Broken Halo 3... I won't bother with it if/when it gets ported to the PC. Unless of course I'm forced to review it.

UT3 is the king of online shooters? Maybe for you but the stats for Halo say otherwise...

Your gaming ignorance is startling. Of course Halo will have higher stats dofus boy. Halo 3 is complete. UT3 is a beta demo. Plus, stats are easier to track on k0nz01es, there's only one "server" per say. UT3 doesn't use a Hitlerain "pay for usage" online service. It's free. It's always been free for PC gaming ('cept for MMOs, which is an entirely different beast). Online numbers are statistics... and as EVERYONE with even a modicum of brains (i.e., anyone who attended a college other then DU) knows that stats can/do say whatever you want them to.

And since you brought it up... this article about how video gaming is on the rise with kids, and that PC gaming is their choice should rattle the foundations of k0nz013 folks everywhere: http://biz.gamedaily.com/industry/feature/?id=17790

There were demos of Tabula Rasa and Time Shift at E3 and they really did look amazing but I just can't get into MMO's, they're just too much work...

Um, first... Time Shift isn't an MMO. Secondly, the door you just through open for me is big enough to drive an entire convoy of Mack Truck diesels through it. There you have it peeps... straight form the donkey's mouth: PC games are "too much work" for lowly k0nz0l3 gamers to grasp. And THAT'S the reason why there will always be a rift between the groups - PC gamers are smarter then k0nz013 gamers. Period. End of story. Game over. Thanks for playing. Move along. Nothing to see here.

.

Is it because... I think its a combination of all of those things, but mostly the last one. We are now a nation of instant history and short term memory.

BINGO! Couldn't agree with you more. It's this way for EVERYTHING. I was just making conversation. Seriously though... Halo 3 has been out what - a few weeks? Guess what the pimpin whore machine is already revving up for? Grand Theft Auto IV. The lifeless corpse of Master Chef (er, Chief) isn't even cold yet and the grindhouse wheels of the Advertising Juggernaut are churning on. That's insane!

.

Now its my turn to teach

.

Allow me to retort

.

The Rams starting QB, RB, 2 WRs and 3 of the 5 starting O-linemen are hurt and/or out for the season. And that's just on Offense...

blah, blah blah. Who cares? Just like a Rams fan to make excuses. Your team sucks, the reason doesn't matter.

I know its a demo, but that won't matter. The number for H3 will blow your precious UT3 out of the water. How can it be king of something when only a fraction of the people will use it compared to Halo 3. As usual, your missing the point. And I may pay $50 a year for XBL (actually I don't, they send me free cards every year) but at least I don't have to drop a few hundred bucks every year to update my PC so it can run these "free online" games.

.

Time Shift isn't an MMO...I didn't say it was, I said I saw it at E3 and it looked great, my comment about MMO's was unrelated. My bag for not writing a clear enough sentence.

Once again you're site dropping for your corporate master

Wow! Once again your elitist PC gamer snobbery rears its ugly head. PC gamers aren't smarter, they're just more rude and obnoxious. Aside from politicians, I've never seen a more dogmatic group of people than PC gamers. You guys would fight a console gamer over the color of the sky because you're always right. A caustic, holier than thou response from a PC gamer? Never expected that. Must be nice to sit on your PC throne and make judgements from on high. I, the lowly console gamer, bow down to your all-encompassing knowledge on PC AND console games despite the fact that you are a self admitted PC lover who doesn't even own a console. Your lack of tolerance is inspiring.
