I'll go sit in the corner now :'(
Actually sir, the corner is reserved for PC gamers. We have a 'special' section outside for console gamers. Its near the garbage dumpster, you can't miss it.

I kid, if it weren't for you console gamers the game would actually be usable... wait.

Ok, I suck at making people feel better.

Eh, I suppose I'll go and buy a new graphics card, more ram and a new processor, because mine are out of date and can't ru-
Oh wait, I have a console. Nevermind ;D

Steam says they fixed their 'don't update automatically' setting, I advise everyone to turn it on in case of another 'Patch'. ;)

Seriously not trying to start PC vs. Console again, I just think its funny that he made a joke about having a console instead of an out-of-date PC when a console IS just an out-of-date PC with firmware restrictions.

To the point where Skyrim on the PS3 is crashing and New Vegas had to have vanilla content cut just so PS3 users could play the DLC. It's harmful to the industry and it annoys the heck out of me, but I mostly blame Bethesda for trying to fit a PC game onto consoles so that they could enjoy mad profits. They get the money, and customers get the shaft both from lowered quality and gamebreaking issues like PS3 users suffer.

I'd say that has more to do with the lame duck status of Sony and the PS3 than with the absolute top-end capabilities of the consoles.

Might that possibly be because you've wasted money buying a console and console games, which generally tend to be more expensive than PC games?

Hey now, don't be cruel. $60 of entertainment is a lot easier to justify than the ~$400 to ~$600 it takes for an average gaming rig, without a decent monitor.

This is why I opted out of consoles long ago, and focused on building a rig that could be gutted and upgraded whenever I needed. I couldn't justify spending the full cost of a console + games over the lifespan of a console, when that could get me several upgrades for my PC in the same period of time.

(Plus, every console gets emulated eventually, so.....)

Console are cheaper. oO They're cheaper in terms of hardware cost, and man hours of maintenance. They're cheaper in terms of upgrading (as in none), and peripheral costs.

PC aren't superior to consoles for gaming, and vice versa.

How about we stray away from the Consoles vs. PC debate?

If someone doesn't want to use a PC, that's totally fine and we don't have to argue about it.

Yeah, did it just to find out what it actually entails. Pretty simplistic, I have to say.
Also, I was greatly disappointed I couldn't give my spouse some nicer clothes. And even using the console is no good, leaving the cell and coming back causes her to revert back to her rags.

She is the ugliest lizard in the entire province but she is MY ugly lizard.

Also I think she's taking moon sugar from my alchemy room.  She always seems to be in there and she has the oddest stare.


P.S. Oh and I disenchanted my wedding band.  She didn't seem to notice.
