LOL! How true! PC gaming is very addicting. Just like any other addiction
you don't realize how expensive it is tell one day you stop yourself and say
"Did I just spend $700 to play a $40 game!!" I was talking to a sales guy a
EB today and I was going on about how cool the new Pain Killer demo was and
how it ran great on a mid-level PC. He ask me what my idea of mid-level was.
I told him that I consider my PC mid range, and that I have a 2GHz P4 and a
9800Pro.
Then I ask him if he was a console gamer or a PC gamer. The poor guy has a
Xbox which is OK I guess, but his PC is pitiful he has a very old system
that doesn't even have a AGP slot! I told him that once he saw a game
running at high res with 4x AA he would be hooked. I saw his eyes get shiny
with lust as I spoke about the crispness and the high framerates he could
have. I know that now his mind is working on how he's going to afford his
new toy and that his PC addiction will soon start! JLC
Also LOL! And the funny thing is, one of the ways I really like playing
games is console emulators! It's amazing how much better so many console
games (certainly up to PSX or N64) can look and sound when well emulated on
a reasonable PC, than being played on a console through a TV. And, of
course, getting your emu to run really well is part of the fun...
