ssj12, I apologize for turning this into a hostile argument, a bit of my jabs were childish and uncalled for and I admit that. Just a few counter arguments then about this and your previous posts. You say that you can get away with using a 12 year old crt, the same could be said for consoles if you dont mind standard definition. I mean, if youre going to try and max or play crysis on decent settings, if you dont have an led or lcd screen? Not that thats necessarily bad, I would just imagine that the technology available now at a decent price would be a bit more desirable. Hooking it up to your t.v. wouldve required a tv purchase to begin with, and since neither a console or pc can be played without one, would also have to be factored into the cost if you do that for consoles as well, otherwise I could say that I had an hdtv and bought a console, decided to hook it up to it. I also agree with your point about the ease of piecing together any rig, yet the majority of people are not like you and have difficulty putting together fake christmas trees, let alone a pc (heart attack inducing for most). Being as you have as much experience as you do and youre given hobby (or profession) I just imagined youd be a bit more open minded about this, were definitely in the minority when it comes to things like this. I do admit that I dont know everything there is to know about pc's or nearly as much as you do, but Ive done my research and know how most people operate these days, if it dont work out of the box then forget about it is their mentality. I have nothing against pc gaming, I quite enjoy it and am a bit of an enthusiast myself when it comes to upgrades and attempting to max out every game I can, when I can. Howerver, I also understand why console gamers prefer consoles, its more convenient for them. The fact is consoles come out of the box ready to go besides some mandatory, automatically downloaded updates and a required profile creation, which each console does a decent job of holding your hand through the process. When building your own pc, you need to research parts, which parts are compatible together, and then how to piece it all together without screwing things up. I had to go through this myself as does anyone, I didnt start gaming on a pc but grew to love it and all of its intricacies. I do apologize again, sometimes when I drink and blog I tend to let my emotions show a bit more than I intended. |
Most bedrooms have a small TV in the room. I have my TV next to my PC monitor. Its a 720p TV. Most people have a TV and a DVD player in their rooms. Its basically standard now. So the TV in the room was originally purchased for other means. It can easily be used for a PC monitor.
And yes, some people have issues with certain things, those same people having issues with a fake christmas trees coiuld easily be quite small financial guys. And even I had issues with my fake christmass tree as it has like 7 plugs, was frustrating as hell to jigsaw it together in the correct order. Thats why Im going with a real tree next christmas. People have trouble with random things. Not everyone is slow enough to not figure out how to build a PC. Like I said, its playing with LEGOs pretty much. There is less and less different ports and stuff to stick things in. Everything is pretty straight forward. Female molex to male molex, sata to sata sockets, PCIe card into PCIe sockets, power cords to power cords, and CPU grease cooler. And of course mobo screws in correct places following the guide that comes with the case.
