It really irritates me when gaming magazines or the console tards (no offense :P) say that gaming on a PC is dead because companies like iD Software are starting to port their games to the consoles.. It's clearly a business strategy (more consoles = more customers eh?).

And when you go onto AOEIII's online lobby, or COD4 server list you will get thousands of servers you can play on, most of them dedicated and good.
