Yeah, welcome to the year 2000, you fucking idiot, when overclocking was still worth writing about. And gosh, who knew that gamers are "divided" between those who play on "consoles" and those who play on the "Personal Computing Machine?"
Quote:
A console gamer will drop few hundred dollars for Sony's PlayStation 3 More about PlayStation 3, Microsoft's Xbox 360 More about Xbox 360, or Nintendo's Wii More about Wii, but a PC gamer who wants to purchase a desktop or laptop optimized for gaming could pay thousands just for the machine.
Sure he can, if he's a retard. I don't fit into this stupid old columnist's universe, as I own both a console (the cutting-edge Nintendo "Wii") and a PC. The Wii is the cheapest of the consoles, and yet if I added together everything I spent on it and all the peripherals (multi controllers and shit like that), I could take that money and build myself a rig that fucking rapes my eyeballs. How much more so if you pay for Xbox and PS3 and all the bullshit that goes with those?
If I cut out the non-performance-related upgrades I've done to my computer (e.g. three monitors, ever-bigger hard drives to support my growing piracy addiction, etc.), I do a generation of upgrades for maybe $350 every couple of years. And unless you count something like DirectX, guess what? All the developments and updates in games are done in "soft ware," so the same fucking machine can play both Far Cry and fucking Pong if I want it to!
And I don't have to aim with a fucking thumb joystick.
Fuck consoles, fuck the guy who's getting paid to write this shit, and fuck you.
Yeah but this guys is getting his market information from a man in charge of a 3rd rate social networking site. Clearly he
The changing marketplace for games has prompted Muzzy Lane Software to developed a new gaming platform called "Sandstone," which delivers 3-D gaming in the browser to integrate gaming easily with the Web.
Sounds like this guy will be direct competition with Adobe, good luck with that.
PC hardware is also dropping in price.
A profound observation.
