    I can understand that more than people who play fighting games with a keyboard, that is alien to me

    I have to admire someone who can come in dead-last in a sea of other non-gamer celebrities and say "that was fun, I'm actually going to do this!"

    That's really cool. Good for him and his son.

    @deepcovergecko: I can understand playing fighting games on a keyboard if you don't have a fight stick but you have a mechanical keyboard. The keys probably feel better than gamepad buttons, and some people like moving with buttons instead of a stick anyway; at that point a keyboard probably isn't a bad choice.

    He got the bug at that Battlefield event...
    I actually gave him some tips when he posted a picture of the build in process and he replied, made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. ; )
    He seems like a genuinely cool, caring, outgoing dude, with a nice lil family to boot. Nice bonding moment with his son, now they can fight over who's using it, hahah.

    @deepcovergecko: Are you familiar with the hitbox controllers for fighting games that is basically just an arcade stick, but instead of a directional stick with a microswitch for each cardinal direction, it has seperate buttons? I use an arcade stick because it's what I like and I don't feel like it creates any execution barrier, but the hitbox is probably the theoretical ideal controller for a lot of fighting games. Conceptually, a decent keyboard with good switches really isn't that far removed from that at all. I can totally understand why somebody would opt for keyboard over a gamepad or something. The mechanical precision and feedback on inputs should be better than most gamepads, which have comparatively mushy buttons/dpad etc

    Also, Terry Crews is such a national treasure, I'm surprised Nic Cage hasn't stolen him.

    Man what a feel-good video.

    Honestly last person I'd expect to go and do this but it's super cool how he wants to learn all this stuff to stay current with his sons hobbies and isn't one of those "GO OUTSIDE LIKE WE DID BACK IN MY DAY BOY" kinda dads.

    Awesome stuff and he seems genuinely cool and down to earth.

    As much as it makes me cringe, Terry Crews probably doesn't give a shit and says it in good fun and that's fine. "The Internet" on the other hand are probably in full circlejerk mode at the sound of a celebrity (especially one as universally beloved as Mr. Crews) chanting along with the whole "PCMR" thing.

    That aside though, I still love this dude. He always seems like he's just fucking enjoying life.

    Does anyone else think his son's voice sounds a little like Suzanne from OITNB?

    I can't un-hear it now.

    I love that new Vive video, now Terry is thinking about building another PC?! The guy is hooked.

    Yep I know them, just moving with buttons seems alien to me in a fighting game. I used to button dash on Marvel though so that's kind of like using a Hitbox in one sense.

    He's so new to all of this, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that he has no idea that "PC master race" is primarily something intended to shit on console owners. I'm betting there's a good possibility that he sees it only as something positive, not insulting.

    Then again, perhaps I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt.

    I think context is so key. When I hear someone mention it on a forum I generally take it as a negative thing because I imagine the person saying it is your typical PC elitist that loves to shit on consoles without understanding (or more importantly even attempting to understand) why some people choose to game on them.

    When Crews says it I take it that he just means "I'm part of the PC club now!" in a positive way, without any of the negative connotations that the "PC ONLY BRUH" crowd have managed to build up over the years.

    I game on both and see the advantages and weaknesses of both. Basically I'm saying I'm a superior human being. Anyone that flaunts their exclusivity to either platform in 2016 is really out of touch with the times.

    I think taking it as a negative at all times is wrong, the PCMR thing is quite funny and I don't use it seriously, just in jest - which is fine in my opinion. It still makes me laugh thinking of the video it originates from but like everything someone takes it too seriously.

    No no, I'm not being insulted by Mr. Crews. It's actually quite obvious that he's oblivious to the whole console/pc wars thing. I meant that he needs to be educated about it. Obviously using PCMR is not like using the N word, but the world would be a better place with as little of it as possible.

    The guy could just buy an overpriced PC, but he actually went the extra step of researching what components he wants and putting it together himself. That's pretty cool.
