And this here is why I usually keep my mouth shut:  Immature brats.  

If you had been mature, you wouldn't have gotten yourself in a conversation you already admitted was pointless to you.  If it's such a pointless and useless discussion, then why did you bother in the first place?

Get off your high horse. ^_-

he made an incorrect accusation about me, so I clarified and explained my stance.  Not my fault people were quick to jump on me and accuse me of being various things rather than politely ignoring me or saying they disagree.  I even pre-empted the flames by saying "I don't usually explain becuase I know this is gonna happen, but..." 

So yeah, immature brats.  I just wanted to clear up an inaccurate accusation.  

No, but the real reason I cranked it down was something nobody on this forum would even consider rational, resulting in my inevitable laughing right off the board.  Long story short, I'm kind of an eco-nut and every bit of conservation helps.  Lowering the specs and making it run smoother that way means less battery loss, and over a long period of time can effect your carbon footprint.  I live a life of relative quaintness.  I don't have a big house nor do I produce a lot of waste, and the closest thing to excess I have is a lot of videogames and movies, so I try to minimize my impact with them as best I can.  

My computer was more than capable of handling it at it's highest settings.  I don't know if maybe you get off thinking you're inherently better than others for thinking your computer is beefier, but I enjoyed the game every bit as much as you did without worrying about processor speed.  so you can get off your high horse now.  (and don't bother claiming I'm on my high horse for attempting to be environmentally friendly, I didn't tell others to do it or treat people bad for not mimicking my actions.)

I'm still stuck on if I should buy this or not. I can either get Portal 2 or Marvel vs Capcom 3 tomorrow, my problem is that MVC3 will only be played when friends come over, while Portal will be a more personal game. Is the co-op worth the purchase? I don't want spend all that money on a game that I might finish in six to eight hours.

Good stuff anyway, PS3 version edges it, but the 360 experience is still pretty much the same (if you don't include all that Steam stuff). Seems like this is the norm now, only slight differences between multi-platform games.

wtf, seriously? Im an environmentall guy, and what you said is crazy talk. If you were trying to be environmentally friendly you would have bought the steam version and not a version that has physical media!
