1187910 2011-03-22 02:59:00 Oh god, what have I justed wasted hours this week doing then?

I thought I was playing Bulletstorm on my PC. I must be mistaken.

Alas, I had planned on also getting:

Brink
RAGE
FEAR3
Diablo3

But I'll have to crawl off and buy a sucky console now.
It was a tongue and check comment, point being pc gaming isn't as dominant as it once was.

1187913 2011-03-23 00:04:00 Nah, just get a good-looking PC - they exist in vast numbers :D

Take my Eee 1215N for example - it ain't exactly ugly. :D

yup you sure can - you can even go better and specifically build something really good looking - not just something off the shelf that looks like everyone elses

hell ive got a small idea in my head to modify an old mac pro lying around - its still blazing fast but it was biffed "because its no longer industry standard" and the old owner upgraded to the latest and greatest lest he get shunned from the local starbucks for having apple gear more than a year old! and has no use at the moment

i might modify it to make it look vastly different - as then i have a "think different" mac and will also cause great anger and rage amongts group of mac "power" users that beleive changing a mac in anyway is the same offence as curbstomping their newborn child - those ones are great fun to wind up as they simply cant take a joke!

So was mine.
And anyway, I'm having fun with my game - it sure isn't what it was - the graphics are way better.......:lol:

Their slogan should read "Think Different: Just like everyone else." :D

PC gaming has vastly more numbers then consoles.

Sure the expansion has been into social games like farmville and poker.....

1187917 2011-03-23 02:42:00 Yes you are right about the Mac being better for Graphics etc.

Once Photoshop was ported to Windows, that argument disappeared.

And try and find any decent accounting software for a Mac ?

But when it comes to keyboards I wish PC keyboards would do away with the numeric keypad. I never use it and it makes the keyboard much bigger than it needs to be.

Why not make full sized ones available as an option for those who need it - eg accountants.

I'm sure I saw a Microsoft keyboard where the numpad was detachable...
