Thanks, Wes!  But I'll have to join the slaughter from my PC.

Even though I'm a PC'er, I appreciate the convenience of console gaming.  In fact, a lot of experts, including notables like Paul Thurrott had predicted (and now note) the decline in PC gaming as the popularity of the consoles has taken off.

Console users are much less interested in the performance of their hardware as long as they can enjoy their game without hardware-related distractions.  While PCs will always outshine consoles in overall gaming experience when it comes to graphics quality and speed, there is no denying that games that are designed for their less-capable cousins also can envelope players in fascinating environments.

But you'll never hear me calling a gamer a "geek".  You guys have opted out of that world, and are too willing to settle for less, when you could have so much more!

Maybe we find a cross-platform title, but a well functioning TYT clan would almost be worth buying a PS3.

But until they get this thing rolling, I'm sticking to my PC too. Thanks to a program called XPadder, I play every game, even those without support, with my 360 wireless gamepad. So I guess I'm a strange hybrid.

Mainly because I refuse to buy a TV, which would, in an inverted argument of Wes', draw too much time from my live, and that with unbearable German television. Gotta have a QuadCore for work anyways, so why not use it to kick some ass, right?

What's that?

Oh!  I remember -- haven't had one for years.

XPadder: must have software.

Perfect when you want to play relaxed, also great as a remote control. Let me know when you need some tips etc.
