I'm starting to wonder if some PC gamers--not all--prefer some sort of self induced torment. One of my engineers at work built a really nice custom PC last year with custom case decent video card, fairly current dual-core CPU, 4 GB RAM, etc., and he also picked up a PS3 recently.
His first purchase for the PS3 was Oblivion, which he's logged over 100 hours in. Then about a month ago he kept drooling over all the mods and downloadable content available for the PC version of the game. So he actually went out and bought PC Oblivion and was looking to sell his PS3.
Well... he still has the PS3 and he's back to playing Oblivion on it. After about 3 weeks of trying to get the game to play correctly on his PC (even without any mods), he went back to the PS3 version.
The reason I say that some PC gamers might prefer self-induced torment, is because I asked him last 2 days ago if he was still looking to sell his PS3 (I prefer the 360, but a cheap PS3 to replace my son's PS2 in his bedroom wouldn't be a bad thing :^), and he replied that he was still keeping it for future games, but that he was going to go back and give the PC version of Oblivion another shot. He's going to wipe his whole machine and reinstall everything from scratch just to try and play the PC version!
What's that old definition of insanity? Something about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? 
Actually, the guy is easily one of the best software engineers I've met and has a degree in Computer Engineering, but sometimes I have to wonder just how much he's willing to suffer to have those mods...
