« on: August 07, 2010, 06:38:06 PM »That's why I have a cheap PC and some consoles next to it.
Cost of a cheap PC (say $300) + a PS3 (let's say $350) and a 360 (another $250) = enough for a pretty decent gaming PC.

« on: August 06, 2010, 07:55:05 PM »Personally, I'd prefer a Console game on the Sofa with some mates, than a LAN party on seperate computers.
It just seems much more social and more fun to be playing with a bunch of mates in the same room being able to shout and laugh with each other.
Some of the best multiplayer experiences I've ever had, have consisted of going around my friends house with some other friends, playing Halo 3 against each other for hours, 3 people in a DM with 5 people wanting to play.
We'd have 3 people playing, 2 waiting, if you died, you hand your controller over to one of those waiting and we'd all take it in turn to play, no care for score or who we're playing as, just having some fun and shooting at each other showing off our "mad skills".
Yeah, but that's the thing. Since we're sitting so far away from each other on this building, we find it a lot more fun. We could sit on one of the balconies of the building and play on just a table, but we choose to sit at different balconies on the first and second floor and yell across to each other.
That's another thing, console gaming is starting to turn anti-social as well. We have stuff like XBox LIVE, and more people (even my friends) don't often go over to each others houses anymore, they just play over XBox LIVE.

« on: August 06, 2010, 07:50:11 PM »The average laptop is really light and it's pretty easy to just carry one around in a backpack. I remember playing through a SmashTV emulated on a laptop with a couple of friends, sitting on a couch with USB controllers. Plus when everyone is bored we can watch old MST3K episodes on youtube, throw in a DVD, or download more games. We can go from split screen Gusanos to playing SmashTV on MAME to seeing who can do the craziest stunt on GTA IV without having to put in a single disk. For convenience, portability, versatility and the selection of games you can't beat a laptop.
Yeah, but for things like GTA IV, you'll probably want a laptop that doesn't cost $400 and has integrated graphics.

« on: August 06, 2010, 07:43:59 PM »How often have you done this?
Also, I attend LAN parties quite regularly and they are nowhere as much fun as console gaming. I guess it's something about sharing a screen or about the fact that you know can't really "customize" your console to out preform the completion that lets you know that it was your skills that let you win. Also, the fact that if you want to go over to a friends house to play multiplayer console games, you just bring a controller. To do the same with a PC, you have to lug your whole desk with you. Heck, even a laptop is quite a bit to bring. Another thing is the banter level. Noone ever talks while they're on PC, but everyone is always yelling at eachother on a console.
I've done LAN parties before, hell I did it at school before, Left 4 Dead LAN game.
I tell you, it's way more fun sitting outside on the second story of a futiristic-looking building with four different balconies, you're sitting on one and three others sitting on the other three balconies, yelling at each other while trying to play the game.
By the way, this is somewhat what the building looks like, but you can't see the other part of it.
Trust me, much more fun than sitting at a TV.
