anyone? how did your 1337 skills translate?

I could type an actual rebbutal to this, but since you typed more of an emotional outburst than an actual argument, we'll need to refine your post first.

Is this really a conversation? You want to tell me advanced electrical engineering principles are less than the very basic mechanical enginerring principles.

SoBaus

What does "less" mean here? Less in what sense?

less is that, you learn these mechanical principles in highschool... if you went to a decent highschool.... but troubleshooting a PC on a electrical enginerring level requires training.

everyone can figure out that if they are peddling and not moving, their chain fell off (or something else is wrong). But if you computer wont start when you press the power button, its not so obvious some solder cracked on the back of the electrical board for your power supply.

repairing electronics, takes alot more intelligence than repairing mechanical devices.

I guess that's why games like Minecraft and Terraria have caught on so heavily in the PC community, because we're mindless. Yes, that makes sense. How could I have missed that...:|

Well starcraft 2 is usually considered a pinnacle of PC gaming, TB being one of the most prominent SC2 casters... and all he can say when playing duke nukem is " i want to shoot people, why am i not shooting, i want to be shooting" like an F'n child.

But PC gamers are known for their maturity "why is there dialogue and plot when i want to be shooting?"

Its the most displaced superiority complex that ive ever seen.

Surprisingly the low res MMOS are probably the most cerebral of PC offerings, not the high res mindless shooters.

afaik shooters like duke nukem should not be shoving down a horrendous story and dialogue down someones throat. Story should not detract from the fun or break the pacing of the game, which it has.

On Topic: Halo CE >>>>>> Halo 3

Why did you think people loved duke3d over doom2 and quake? it was the the crappy one liners and environment interaction that made duke popular on pc.

i shouldnt need to be schooling pc gamers on this.

Without much knowledge of either, I'd guess they're about the same. You buy pre-built components and assemble them.

EDIT: If anything, the bike might be harder. There's an "analogue-ness" to the bicycle that the computer does not possess. With the computer, either it works or it doesn't. With the bike, you can put it together so that it works s***tily.

a bike is based on very basic mechanical principles... if you cant figure why you are pedaling and the bike isnt moving... thats pretty damn simple compared to figuring out why you put your PC together, but one of the thousands circuits isnt working.

Is this really a conversation? You want to tell me advanced electrical engineering principles are less than the very basic mechanical enginerring principles. Anyone that doesnt drool can figure out basic mechanical engineering principles.

That was sarcasm. No,I realized I wasn't a mindless console gamer that needed to shoot something every half second or my ADD kicks in. Then I started actually playing Half Life 2...You know what, Na, I just enjoyed it from the beginning. Enjoy Halo 3 though. :roll:

And BS... here is a professional starcraft 2 announcer, talking about his love of plot and story.

Talking about how he hates mindless action and just loves intelligent puzzles and well designed plot... If you play the most popular Pc exclusive on the planet... you may know him, because hes a celebrity in SC2 community (often called the most cerebral of PC exclusives).... anyhow... here is a peek into the mind of a famous PC gamer (that hates consoles gamers)

TotalBiscuit

But yea, PC gamers are just as mindless... if not moreso. Give me a break.

You're analogy is terrible. Try again. I only hit the wall with a crowbar for like 5 minutes...not much longer. :|

Around 10 years from now the gamers who are clamoring about games like quake and doom will all have gotten old and the rest of us will start to call halo 3 one of the best games of all time. These gamers can't see past the haze of nostalgia and see that halo 3 was virtually perfect.

im one of those gamers, in terms of game mechanics quake live is near perfect.

no, i dont think so.

If bungie cant be bothered to listen to them and all. 10 years from now you might have some clout, but as it stands... any fps player with actual skill will tell you quake 3 arena nailed the formula, and everyone else forgot it. That includes CSS, yes people that play CSS were idiots.

Halo 3 was late to the online fps game, and more than a dollar short. Quake nailed the formula, for people with skill.

3 years ago, I realized that all religions were way too different and had different rules and stuff. Also, I realized that most fights that happen nowadays are because of religion and most people who claim to be "religious" are probably worse than me and they call me the "bad" one; way to be christian.Kenny789

Well the problem mostly is that most religious texts are written by people that are bat **** insane. In order to appeal to normal people... alot of religions like to tone down and ignore certain parts of their religious texts.

Because if you take any religious text literally, it commands you to kill a whole lot of innocent people.

Well in my short lifetime, I've tried to build about 5 computers from scratch. 3 of them refused to work and one almost went up in flames. The actual physical nature building a PC maybe easier than building a bike but so much can go wrong when building a PC. mrmusicman247

well thats the heart of the issue.

With a PC you can put everything together perfectly... then when you hit the power button, nothing happens... could be something like flaked off soldering

Doesnt quite work the same for a bike... if a wheel is missing, its pretty F'n easy to figure that one out. Dont need to bust out voltage meters and start testing your motherboard.
