Weird thing about alcohol is that when you have too much, your head seems to be attracted to flat surfaces. Plus it makes you sleepy so: head resting + sleepiness = Nappy time.
Lean back on my chair put my legs on my desk and watch my younger brother play some games (Mostly arena on WoW) on his computer. Surf the net if I feel like it, inbetween.
I went to a Festival nearby my college during a spare. Got drunk with some other classmates and went to our next class. Thankfully the instructor didn't care much. I got up and shouted "WooHoo!" when he praised a part of my SA during a lecture. After that, skipped my last class and when back for more drinking. Threw up, got kicked out, went home and went to bed. Didn't even reach 6pm yet. lol
@oDawg: Thats practically what I would think a set top box would be. Just more "packaged" so the average consumer can have the same setup as you.
@atejas: True, all genres work perfectly well on a PC compared to a console but the issues here are the controls. I don't believe plugging a keyboard/mouse into a console will make it a PC.
What I consider to be an indie game is a game created by small group. I would consider Mount & Blade an indie game, I awesome one at that. I tend to believe that making indie game good is that they have no dead line, no higher ups telling them what sells well. Just a group of people making a game that they think is fun with out any intervention. I'll most likely compile a list of must play free indie games in a blog post relativity soon. @RsistncE: I did not say it would be replaced by lesser hardware. Mobiles is just one part that I think will replace PCs eventually, due to its obvious mobility. There are things that don't require up to date hardware do be useful. Look at the Internet, it's the primary use for most users of a PC and you can use it with extremely outdated hardware. Gaming, Industry specific software and OS upgrades are pretty much only things that require up to date hardware.
What I meant about set top boxes is almost exactly what you stated about a central hub. A computer with up to date hardware controlling the entertainment. I was going for a more confined area of the TV but its essentially the same thing.
I'm not saying computers are going to go away, just the notion of a computer on a desk for entrainment/communication aspect, which is basically what a PC is. Well thats how I would define a PC.
What I'm basically saying is that mobiles will replace the communication needs of a PC and set top boxes will take the entertainment needs.
I'm quite open minded and open to debate. I do concede when some one flat out proves me wrong, but insulting people tends not be go to your favor.

" it will take years for Console makers to allow any type of true mod support, Little big planet lets you post levels, that often get taken down due to licensing issues, on a PC you can spread your mod across the entire internet, thats freedom that console makers will only limit further as time passes, and in little big planet you can only make a level using what they give you, on Pc you can make your own items, textures, etc.
And its a shame that PC gaming will likely die due to the ignorance of the consumer, most dont want to bother with hardware so they buy a console, when given some hardwork they could enjoy more freedom on PC, that being said, i like consoles, its just i dont think they are truly as capable as a PC can be (its just harder to do), i hate to see the day when the entire gaming world is limited by whatever the company that made their console wants to do. Am i the only one whos sees that as an issue? And what if onlive succeeds? That means some company has direct control of something you own, thats just scary."
I think that transfer all of PC's attributes will move over to other platforms and I see proof of that. But, them being as open as a PC is something I didn't think of and is a pretty big stumbling block. My mind was focused on what makes PC gaming great rather then it's move to consoles when I wrote that. I want to think that all platforms will eventually be open due competition with companies trying to up each other and one company eventually going with an open platform while the other follow suit so they can compete. I have a feeling some platforms are on the process of doing this now but, I can't think of any. Brain seems dead right now.
