Comment It's also about customization (Score 1) 1214

I think what your forgetting is customization. I can never play a game like UT2k4 on an Xbox and download all the crazy mods that people make. Someone made a duct tape mod for Doom 3, which is somethin that console games aren't equipped for since they don't install the game on the hard drive.

Another thing that goes a long way for me, and my friends as well is a keyboard and mouse. Even with a hacked up controller with a keyboard, and an addon mouse, Doom 3 will never be the same as it would at a desk in front of a monitor.

I read a rumor in a mag that said that WoW might be coming to PS3 and XBox 360. With the amount of UI customizations that are required to play that game, I don't see how anybody could consider playing it without UI customizations, especially end game content that requires 40 man raids. Its honestly not doable, and without a connection to voice software like TS, forget about it.

You're also forgetting about graphics. As nice as the PS3 and Xbox360 look, they always look better on a compuer monitor. WoW looks like ass when playing at 640x480, but is GORGEOUS when playing at 1600x1200, which offers picture quality which TVs can never offer, even HD.

Also, for me personally, I could never play a game where I would not be able to take screenshots. The customization just isn't there, and without it, PC games will never go away.

Journal Journal: Spyware

Why is it that most people have spyware on their system? You open up task manager, and they have GAIN.exe, and several others running. It's so damn annoying that people click yes to everything. One person asked me today, how did it get there? I replied with "See this this thing caled Kazzaa? It comes with the software. When you click yes to everything without reading it, you get junk like spyware all over your system." He didn't know what to say. He just looked at me like I bitch slapped

Journal Journal: 1st Entry and stuff

OK, so this is my first /. journal entry. I figured this should be a good place to vent my frustrations with technology and other stuff that I come across. I deal with computers on a daily basis. I work for BellSouth as a contractor for the DSL side here in Miami. Being a contractor sucks. I get paid per job, not per hour, and I don't have access to anything past the NID. I miss out on all the fun stuff that the BST guys get to do. Anyway, onto my observations...
