For all of the talk recently about how piracy is destroying the PC games market, in most cases it comes down to two words: "system specs"...which I'm not even sure my Sony Viao's version of word could process.

Essentially, when I recieved this PC as a birthday gift in January of 2006, it was, in my then un-informed opinion, "the new hotness." Well, new-ish, and hot enough to run Starcraft and the original Call of Duty, but nothing more. However, times of change. In this era of dual-card GPUs and the like, I've fallen behind, and my once beloved PC has become a relic of good times gone by.

Now, it's just painful to look at, much less to run anything on. Its too garbage to run Portal or TF2 for fuck's sake!



I know that there may be some other community members who are lacking in the PC department more than I am, but none of them can be as alarmist, angry, or as unnecessarily violent as I can be when it comes to wanting to win.




What I'm trying to say, is that by allowing me to retain this rather doggerel piece of hardware, you're helping to ensure the death of the PC gaming market.

Thank you for your time, and remember, Brawl can only control your life and the lives of those around you if you let it.
