Just another bullshit-spouting douche tbh.
He asks if we really need a PC, which apparently takes up so much space to do our work AND gaming on? "Oh, no, I'll just get a laptop instead. I can't game on that? Oh, I'll get a console too then.. What's that? I'll need a whole TV to use my console?"
Also, the PC claims dominance in EVERY SINGLE GENRE. That is a damn fact.

yes . it's funny that he misses the fact that PC gaming have existed long before his precious and inferior 360 or wii and it still "SURVIVED" when the Xbox and ps2 have long passed for example

Bob from the Big Picture ... yeah, right.
While I agree, that the PC concept will change drastically in the next decade, and I fully support having one huge precessing hub in the basement, and connecting everything to it (wirelessly, or however), being a PC gamer will not change at all, I'll tell you why.
First off, PC gaming raging adults, who rage because they never got a console from their parents (Bob said this, it must be so), like the technology part of the PC. Even my less tech savvy PC gaming friends know pretty much about hardware, and read Tom's Hardware regularly. PC gaming was spawned by PC enthusiasts, and is continued to this day by PC enthusiasts. PC enthusiasts like to tweak their hardware just for tweaking's sake. They like to optimize, try out new software, etc. They live with a certain mindset: they love open design. They love messing about in that open design, and no matter, what the current hardware is, they will love doing that, and messing about combined with our tech savvy is part of what it means to be a PC gamer.
I think it will surprise no one, if I say the generalization, that on average PC gamers are more tech savvy and curious than Console gamers - or tablet gamers for that manner.
There will always be tech savvy people, and they will always want to play PC games. Why? Because for one, in this generation (and in the next generations too) our input devices are far superior. They're so superior, there isn't even a contest. For two, these people like their games complex, if they didn't, then they'd play tablet games - which by definition can't be as hardcore as the PC - once again, because of the input restrictions.
PC gaming is not dead, and it never will be, until there are people like us, who prefer the concept of technology as dynamic and shapeable like the PC.
Also, Bob, fuck your console loving ways, you don't even know what the difference is between console gaming and PC gaming. If you think console games are the same as PC games, just that you play them on your TV ... well, you are wrong, and you don't know shit. Also, fuck you again.

Well said!
Btw. I have never owned a console. Not because my parents didn't wanna buy me one. You see, I never asked them for a console since my first gaming experience at home was on a Personal computer (My Cousin's ZX Spectrum) so I was actually naggin my parents for a Comodore 64, and they realized that I could use it for school work, aswell as gaming, and I guess that's why they kept supporting me everytime I would upgrade something or save up money for a new PC.

In addition to that PC gamers would rather climb that fucking ladder instead of pressing 'E' to climb.

As hard as it is to believe, I begged my parents for a PC, because I saw someone use a software to make cartoons with it - very basic, childish scripting. I begged them, until they bought me one, and quite some time passed before I played my first ever game, I just loved finding out, how it worked, what you could do. Creating files, folders, childish stuff - but the point of the PC was understanding the logic behind it (I had no formal tutor then, I must have been around 7- . Good times. Gaming came at least a year later.
Even to this day, I don't keep my PC mainly for gaming, I keep it, because I work on it for one, and I need a fast capable Windows based OS for it (my company develops in C#), second, I love messing about on it. I also worked for quite some time as a freelance software designer/art designer, and I needed the horsepower for rendering.
I also love good PC games, and genuinely think modern Console games are dumbed down shit most of the time, with the rare exceptions.

I mean, what do I do with it? I know, Gameplay>Visuals, but it still bothers me that there is nothing on the horizon that will love my new GPU.  |
On my home PC I have a 4870 - changing it to a 6870 soon, but I just don't see the point right now, most games are CPU intensive, that I play, and my i7-2600k moderately over-clocked just smashes any game you throw at it apart. And my setup didn't even cost that much.
Yes, I like putting money in my PC, because I like it, if I want to render something in after effects, I don't have to wait for half a century for it to happen.

The current crappy state known as "P2P gaming" have already made a lot of ignorant to how Multiplayer can be with Dedicated Servers and the communities that grows because of this feature, and lives on for years because the games are Mod friendly.
These things used to be common, and not looked upon like some sort of luxury...
I blame the Neo Liberals/Conservatives for making people think that "everything that can be sold, should be sold! Even peoples own Souls and Grandmothers if it's possible". FUCK EM!  |
Yeah, those sound like neo-liberals, but not much like conservatives, to be honest  |
Hmm, Bush Jr is supposedly a Neo Conservative, and I think he is ready to sell his own mother as long as he can score some oil  |
Well now, I think we might have found something we disagree on. First off, I don't like neither neocons nor neolibs. Bush might have been a dick in many ways, but I don't see him as the guy who would sell his own mother. In fact, as much as I disliked Bush, his bad reputation is largely due to how the media portrayed him. Unlike the crush the media has on Obama, even though he continued all of Bush's disliked policies (wars, patriot act, tax cuts for the rich).

i find pc gaming is dead statements as retardedly absurd as the people that write them.
pc will never die,it's the most versatile tech platform for buisness or home use ever created.
not only is it the best platform for visual & technical gaming of any kind with it's wide range of upgradability,it has no real limit to what it can be used for,be it learning,work,gaming,communication,server hosting,digital creation,multimedia home theatre,the list just goes on.
pc gaming will live as long as the platform has a use for it,which is forever.
