I'm laughing my ass off right now. You seem to think you know me, but you really don't AT ALL.

1a. My argument still stands. Most GPUs only have 1 HDMI connector. So to game on an HDTV, you'd have to unplug it from the monitor then connect it to the  TV. It's such a hassle, and I've never done it for that very reason.
 b. I thought we were talking about using a gamepad here for HDTV gaming? Using a keyboard and mouse in the air is extremely uncomfortable and so is the sofa.
 c. Of course you "smell bias". I obviously prefer console gaming, just like you obviouslyl prefer PC gaming.(which is weird since VgChartz community is console focused)

2. This is fucking hilarious. So much wrong this part.
 a. No, my computer does not cost more than a gaming computer. In fact the computer I'm typing on right now is a laptop. Only cost me $500 almost 2 years ago.
 b. Here's the shocking part, I own a gaming computer and no, it didn't cost me $800 nor did I buy it at Best Buy. I have no idea where you got the idea that I dont' know my way around computers. You think console gamers are stupid or something?

3. Reported again. This time, for what you're accusing me of, being condescending. 


1. a - No, you don't have to do any of that. That is just blatant ignorance. You don't have to have a monitor at all to use a desktop computer.

b - Tables, and you can sit on a sofa to use keyboard / mouse which I am doing right now.

c - Ok then, but admitting that you are biased doesn't give you the right to run around saying "Hey everybody, it's impossible to use an HDTV and a gamepad with a PC!" I mean did you say that and expect me not to correct you? Huge mistake.

2. a - That is about what you could spend to get a decent gaming computer.

b -Where did you get it? Alienware? Be more specific, you're obviously hiding something.

3. You can't report someone for that. lol


I will add to your argument. Totally agree PC plus gamepad on HDTV. Many people do this now.

Guess what else you can hookup to a TV. A galaxy S phone + MHL + joypad (basically a playsation controller). and wolla, gaming  on hdtv using your phone. A lot of the newer gaming coming out are starting to support the joypad. Not to mention all the emulators for classics which also work with joypad.

The main reason people use to buy consoles was because when you put the game in you knew it would work out of the box. A console cycle lasts about 5 years on average means you know a game that comes out at the end of the life cycle will still work on your console (unless it is skyrim on PS3). With PC sometimes there was compadibility issue or your hardware simply got old real quick and you could not play some games. Considering consoles are becoming more and more like PCs with patches etc.. it almost makes it more viable to get a PC as game patches NEVER vanish of the internet. With consoles and game patching what guarantee have you got that you can patch the game again in 10 years time when you want to relieve a classic game with your future son/daughter? Imagine skyrim on PS3, unless you leave it installed with the patches, I doubt you will be able to hook up the PS3 online 10 years from now to dowknload the patches again. Meaning you got a useless game which cannot be played.
