I am not faulting any of you for liking PC games in the least. There are a lot of games that I think should be run on the PC over the console. I am only faulting the people who are saying that the cost that it requires to keep a PC up to date in order to play the best looking games is not so excessive that for 95% of people they are better off getting a PS3/360.
If you want to stay a generation or so behind on PC technology, that is fine. That is what I would do if I PC gamed. It is the most cost effective way to do it. Just don't act like it is cheap to maintain a PC that can play all of the newest games. That is the point some of us are trying to make.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
