i agree, pc gamers suck
If you don't want PC gamers bragging about their system, don't go around saying things like "Get a fucking life, i dont care, pc's suck, buy a console at least then you dont even have to think 'is this game gonna run on my machine' "
That seems to me to make you out as just as big of an asshat as the guys bragging about their specs.
I think it costs me as much to run games properly for 3 years as it costs me in console hardware and accessoires. It's just a bitch when you try to manage both :)
I definitely agree on the smug pc owner front, people who feel the need to post their specs ANYWHERE without being asked can die in a fire. They are the whole reason people see pc gamers as elitists and it's no surprise. You either run games well enough, run them on high settings or not at all. Don't start telling me how supposedly great your rig is, or how much you overclocked your quad-core because nobody cares except your highschool friends that you used to sit at the lunchtable with.
I know a few people who fap to hardware specs without coming across as a total douche, but they seem far and few between. Maybe you'll be happier when nVidia finishes their new campaign to make graphics cards more consumer friendly? :)
OBVIOUS TROLL IS OBVIOUS
OBVIOUS TROLL IS OBVIOUS
I have to agree with GoS-CPT-Stewart. You're kinda being a dick. I was an avid PC gamer until consoles became the recipients of more and more PC games. What I don't think you get is the sense of pride that comes with building and maintaining your own "rig". It's a really cool feeling. And yes, it does cost a lot more than a console; but the feeling of satisfaction you get can be more than worth it. Also, guys with "epic machines" don't usually make the mistake of buying an incompatible game.
On a serious note, you are correct that PCs are higher maintenence, but the trade off for high price is about equal to a console in my opinion. More money gets you more features, simply put. And saying that all that since PCs have large, numbered names and cryptic sounding lingo in terms of classification is retarded and just an ignorant and lazy argument.
Where I should of stopped:
"But what really grinds my gears with pc gamers"
Where I stopped:
"I dont care, pc's suck, buy a console"
guys; you're missing the point here. Yeah, he is a dick, but he doesnt fuckin SAY IT to the god damn pc gamer. thats just pc gamers being dicks.

Wait, you say this isn't an e-penis thread?
You antagonize someone and they respond and you get mad at this.
Way to fail.
Also consoles suck, I don't care, buy a PC they're like $400 at Walmart now for one that can play games.
I assume that a majority of the people who purchase PC games KNOW that their PC has to meet minimum requirements to play the game. If they don't know that, you should let them learn the hard way by not asking them if their PC can run it. When you ask someone a question like "Can your computer run this?", some peoples' intelligence may be insulted.
And also, consoles aren't always better than PC. I gameflied Assassin's Creed for PS3, and then I bought the PC version when I built a new PC. Guess what? The PC version looks and runs WAY better. I get a steady 60 frames/second 90% of the time, while the PS3 version was lucky to maintain 30 frames/second.
Finally, you say "buy a console at least then you dont even have to think 'is this game gonna run on my machine'"
YOU are the one asking if the game will run on their machine. They are purchasing the game knowing that it will run, and then YOU ask them if it will run. It's kind of insulting to peoples' intelligence. Do you ask people if they have an Xbox360 when they buy an Xbox360 game? Do you ask them if they have a PS3 when they buy a PS3 game? No? Then why ask if their computer can run the game when they're buying a PC game?
PC gamers may be losers, but I'm pretty sure you're in the wrong on this one.
Their only problem is getting the game from a store instead of buying it online :P.
PC Gaming is only complicated to take the whiney Xbox Live 8 year olds out of the picture.
Look, the idea that pc gaming is uber expensive and impossible to understand because of hardware and tech stuff you need to know is not logic. It has been discused and I wont get into it.
If anyones likes to game on a console, great. But dont start arguing that you made a better choice than those that game on a PC just to show the world how intelligent you are. Because you are not.
Grow the fuck up.
PCs are fine, and there will always be some games that work better on it than they ever would on a console. Wait till Apple takes on computer gaming seriously and we'll see a resurgence.
