Personally i have no problem with pc games, i would play them but tbh i dont want to have to buy a new piece of hardware every couple of months cos that hip new game wont run on the one i got 3 months back.
Ok so i "may" be over exaggerating a little bit but you got to admit sometimes in pc gaming it feels like ur fighting a loosing battle.
But what really grinds my gears with pc gamers is the cocky attitude a majority of them have. Now i work in retail, and selling pc games i have to ask the same question to every customer.
"Have you checked the specs to see if this game will run on your pc."
now to most 'normal' people this is just a simple yes or no question, yes sire i did check the specs and it will run fine on my pc.
I however dont need smug fucking twats making a stupid outward snorting noise following by "Oh i've got a geforce 8873617530000 GTXRZ, id be surprised if it wouldnt even run it on the highest settings.
seriously, 80% of the pc customers i ask that question to reply with a smug comment about how great their pc is and how new it is. 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'
eugh i dunno, it just really gets to me i guess. look if your a pc gamer no offence but dont come into my store and brag about ur virtual dick extension, just nod and say yes, im only asking cos if the game dont run on ur so called 'epic' machine you cant return it to my store.
Also, Cocks!

That seems to me to make you out as just as big of an asshat as the guys bragging about their specs.
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? :)

Where I stopped:
"I dont care, pc's suck, buy a console"
Pentium4 3.2 Ghz CPU
2.5 GB DDR2 Ram
eVGA 7600GT
80GB HD
Logitech G5 gaming mouse
Wait, you say this isn't an e-penis thread?
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.
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.
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.
