Hermits and Lemmings dislike eachother, but we are brothers.

I've probably been gaming on the PC for longer than most of you

he did say most of us and not all of us so he may still be correct 

my first pc game was on 8 5.25 floppys it was some archaeology game back in 1986

Trust me TC, if Linux had game support similar to Windows I would switch in a second.

And I'm happy as a "slave to Steam". At least Valve doesn't try to fuk you over.

do you remember the name of the sim game where you were like a farmer or rancher ro something in the west? and you went to town to buy crops and stuff from the almanac and all that....i remember playing it all the time in school but i have no idea what its called....it was around the time we had dinopark tycoon and oregon trail

Yes, we are in a way.

As a 360 owner and a PC gamer, i welcome lemmings with open arms.

Just the small minority of extreme fanboys piss me off.

brothers are supposed to get along? news to me  (im typing this while my brother is right behind me :P).

seriously...theres one key difference though.

The pc does not rely on MS to exist as a gaming platform. if MS ever goes out of business (not very likely mind) the PC will trundle on nicely. hell with a bit fo elbow grease and a bit a sacrefice on the communities part, MS could be driven out of the PC gaming equation completly (things like wine on linux would lessen the blow in terms of compatibility...but there would still be hard work and sacrefice needed). before u mention direct x, the PC has perfectly feasible alternatives like open GL and open AL to replace coponents in direct X and there are ways of filling in the rest.

the xbox however would go down with them. u can never ever make MS a non factor with the xbox...it is inherently reliant on MS to survive.

so in the end theres 2 different schools of thinking. on the xbox, the book stops with MS (and this applies to every console). MS control it, MS dictate policy on it, MS dictates the games that go on it and so fourth. they are lord and master of the platform to all intents and purposes.

on the PC, the book stops with us, the gamers. the PC users. we decide what services to use, we decide where to buy our games from. at the end of the day the PC, as a platform, belongs to everyone, from MS to me, to the ppl typing on this forum...to everyone who uses a PC. no one controls it, no one dictates policy, no one says what it cant and can do or who can and cant make games/applications for it.

2 completly different schools of thought. im not going to argue which is better here (completly different topic) but that difference means that PC gamers and xbox gamers (and console gamers in general) are in no way shape or form, brothers. 

sounds like oregon trail or thats the only bell that is ringing surrealnumber5

well its not oregon train, you are just like a farmer or rancher or somethign in a western town. i cant remember the name of it, but it was kinda like a tycoon game(like diopark) but western farm style or something....i wish i could remember it :( i palyed it allll the time in school

I totally understand. PC is the big older brother with a dope job, nice car, and lives in his own apartment away from mom and dad. Xbox is the little brother still in high school who has to have his parents drive him around to the mall.

As many of you will recall, Cain and Abel were also brothers.

We both need MS, plain and simple. You need their OS and we need their console. And MSs LIVE service is ever so slightly creeping its way into the PC space. Also Games for Windows branded games are popping up more frequently.

You may be a slave to Steam, but its the Windows logo you look at every time you turn on your PC.

-General_Ram-

yeah.. you keep thinking that.

Xbox is more like the unwanted bastard child of a console and a PC, it inherited the traits of both parents but was brought up by a console. PC wants nothing to do with the kid but has to pay child support in the form of old exclusives, every now and then PC gets a game from Xbox but PC isn't sure if it wants them.AnnoyedDragon

Amen brother. We appreciate your games to help fight the 360/PS3 war.

Hermits are bitter. Now that devs realize that no matter how hard they try, their games will be bottleged. Now they're more focused on consoles, where priracy is less rampant.

I guess spending all that money just so your games will look a little better was a waste, eh?

I'm a PC gamer that utterly despises Microsoft.

I want Microsoft to die so that I can have a stable operating system that isn't filling my PC up with bloatware (if it isn't bloatware itself) and that actually gives me optimal performance on my games.

lemmings and hermits may disagree a lot, but they're brothers forever.

I love how this was actually an underhanded attack at PC gaming.  "Slave to steam"? :lol:  

Anyway, I think I'm going to go back to my System Warring now.

General Ram are you Fuzzy_Munch :?Gh0st_Of_0nyx

He is the General.

That's all there is to it.
