I don't know what half of these words mean. I am going to be in way over my head when I begin building my PC.

Our perception has changed with the cost and availability of certain dyes, and in some countries the opposite is true. This post was way more interesting in my head.

I heard about it on QI.

God dammit I watch to much TV. I'm losing valuable jerking off time.

Multitasking. Just putting that out there.

Man. I would read a whole thread about what you duders make. It sounds like I need to fucking move.

Bioshock: Infinite says hello. This will be a super awesome GOTY debate. I feel like both Bioshock and Last of Us wouldve both easily won last years, and GTA and Watch Dogs seem to be shaping up the same way.

Somehow this still leaves me with questions. I hate Microsoft as much as the next guy, but I hate beating someone when they're down, so not to look like an apologist, but I think this family system could potentially be pretty cool. Unfortunately I'd have to know multiple people with XBox One's for it to make a difference, and my friend's reactions to their news has been extremely negative. I hope they clarify some of this a little bit more, and announce some other cool unique features so both consoles are awesome. One baby step in the right direction.

I'm probably going to preorder the ps4 in august when I get financial aid from school, because circumstances screwed me out of a job. If one of my interviews pans out I might preorder one with my first check, but I'm still waiting to see if they announce multiple skus. Also I'd like the fuzziness around what the launch titles are to be cleared up a bit. No point in buying it if there's nothing I want to play.

I need to keep both of them because there's no backwards compatibility. Also the amount of money you get for old consoles isn't really worth it.

I do tire of the occasional pc guy who gets a holier than thou attitude about the new consoles. Basically I believe that you should never be dismissive of things people care about, because it doesn't make you look cool, it makes you look smug. But if someone genuinely prefers playing on their pc, there are some good reasons for that, and I'm not about to criticize them for their choice either. Can everybody just be cool with other people liking stuff, no matter how different it is from what you like?

To be fair though, for the most part that reaction (and it exists, and as a PC game I agree it's annoying) is sort of a self-defence-mechanism that has developed over many years of "PC is dead", "consoles are more powerfull than any PC ever", "all PC gamers are pirates" etc.

I agree with you that everyone should just do what he/she enjoys, but we all are passionate about our hobby, thats why we are here, and that includes that we sometimes get defensive over the things we like. I'm not defending this behaviour, like I said it annoys me too, I'm just trying to give a little context.

That explains it much better, my gut reaction was to believe that they were just smug, but the whole "PC is dead." is a good way of highlighting the same kind of behavior on the opposite side.

The whole PS4 thing makes this question pretty crazy. I mean if the publishers were lobbying for it, then that means Sony kind of pulled a fast one on both Microsoft and the rest of the industry with their announcement. I imagine that if publishers were aggressively campaigning for this DRM, that they would mak the exclusive content and game deals contingent on whether or not Sony bent to their demands. Since there was a a lot of evidence of good relations between Sony and publishers throughout the entire show, that means that the publishers couldn't have been pushing for this stuff right? Otherwise there would have been more outrage, more backlash. Which just makes Microsoft seem so much more stupid! How could such a big company, with people who are paid so much to figure stuff like this out, actually think this is a good idea?
