Nope, just laugh at him. They always make about 2 more posts after buying a PC then you are gifted with them never posting again.

lmao, that laptop is like 15 pounds.  I hope you aren't considering carrying that thing around from class to class.  Infact, people really don't take their laptops to class as it is, unless you're in advanced typography where it's uncool to not have a PowerBook.

Rebs dude, I check your games through bungie.  I hardly ever see any "1st" place spots in any of the games that you play in  ::)

And I was only like a kill or two behind you.  Have you ever heard of KSI rebelwhore? http://www.ksiglobal.com

Ya but anyways, I never took mine to any lecture classes and at Central Michigan (being a smaller school of around 30,000 students) no one else takes their laptops to lectures either.  The only time I ever take my PowerBook in are for a graphic design class here or there.

Well vipes, if u were playing with the teams i do, in which im a 22 and my buds are 26, 26,26 and we are playing 27s, 28s, and 29s it would make sense to be in 3rd or 4th. That and in higher levels it is amazingly hard to have a power weapon. But hey, say what you like id 1v1 u any day.  ;D

oh yeah btw, looking at your stats, they are less impressive. And before you judge my gameplay in TS games go ahead and look into how many times i die when im in 3rd or 4th. Its not about what place ur in its if you go positive or negative.

Post by: BTs_Mysterio on May 17, 2005, 09:12:19 pm
I think this thread is a smidgen of topic. The topic is how bad PCs are, and how they are witnessing the end of  computer gaming thanks to the 360, PS3, and of course that nintendo thingy.


Title: Re: Alienwhere?
Post by: spike on May 17, 2005, 10:09:36 pm
I don't think thats true. I don't like console gaming because I like using a keyboard, rather than a controller. Consoles may be getting better, but I don't think they will ever supplant computers.


Title: Re: Alienwhere?
Post by: BFG on May 17, 2005, 10:10:56 pm
totally agree spike - i don't think we'll ever see people choose to play a  RTS or a FPS on a console rather than a mouse and keyboard!  - and in a head to head controller v keyboard/mouse ? no competition


Title: Re: Alienwhere?
Post by: BTs_Mysterio on May 17, 2005, 11:26:08 pm
Actually, all next gen consoles support keyboards and mice. It's up to game developers to build in support. Also, it may not be up to us where the future of gaming is. Most game developers are giving console releases priority, and eliminating support for basic PC game functions (keyboard/mouse). I don't like the trend as a whole, but I like seeing MS Windows loosing it's edge in a market.


Title: Re: Alienwhere?
Post by: KoS.Rebel on May 18, 2005, 01:22:30 pm
Lies myst lies. Comp gaming will never fallout. Although there are many, including myself, that play halo on xbox, when comparing the percentages of gamers on consoles and gamers on comps there is no debate which has the greater amount. Although i love consoles for being equal, the inability to control in an FPS makes them lack some luster. As you have stated keyboard and mouse can always be made, but its whether or not the community of gamemakers wants to stain the console like that, because im sure many would stop playing console games and move back to their PC if xbox went keyboard and mouse.


Title: Re: Alienwhere?
Post by: BTs_Mysterio on May 18, 2005, 01:29:26 pm
Now XBOX is USB, and PSP offers bluetooth. I wonder where this is heading....

P.S. Rebel sounds like a mac user during the G3-G4 era where the G4 was so far behind the PCs and the G4 lovers blamed it all on the megahertz myth... just sounds like that sort of frantic.


Title: Re: Alienwhere?
Post by: KoS.Rebel on May 18, 2005, 04:25:47 pm
U talk as the usual mac user, one who wishes pc gaming would die because u are jealous that they can play all sorts of good games with millions of others. You will most likely make the comeback that pc "hax" are out there but if u play in the right servers and on the right ladders, cheating is nothing to worry about.


Title: Re: Alienwhere?
Post by: BTs_Mysterio on May 18, 2005, 09:47:58 pm
You ... "U" ... are starting to even sound like a PC user. I don't wish PC gaming would die, because that would mean mac gaming would be as crippled with lack of the good tittles. I was simply pointing out that computers are moving away from remaining close to the main gaming platform. Games are unlikely to remain a driving force for the industry of the personal computer.

Myst, good debate. Lets end it. Now on to BFG. you say "sure" as tho im lieing. Actually, its true. Leagues like CAL, OGL, NATO, CPL, and MLG offer non cheating ladders in which the game is played the way it was meant to be played. They all have files that must be installed to play so that cheating can be prevented. Whether you want to believe this is another story but when you suck it up and head into some PC servers to get ur ass handed to you is when you'll find out what im talking about. Sure there are always servers that dont run the anti cheat programs and they are the ones in which you speak of that have cheaters and hackers but most teams that take the game seriously prevent this from happening.

Ahahaha.  Rebs, all of your posts are extremely incoherent.  It's nice to see you making an attempt to fix the problem but lose the arrogance on the forums.  It's not winning you any points.

The reason I'll be buying an Xbox 360 (or console) over any PC piece of crap is simplicity and price. Maybe I'm one of few that would rather use a controller over a mouse.  

As far as a Mac, they're not for gaming and probably never will be.  I use my mac strictly for Graphic Design work and haven't run a game on it for almost a year now.  Apple's high end products are geared towards the creative professional, not acne prone teenage gamers.  Agree, Disagree?

I agree PC's are better gaming machines, FOR NOW, but I disagree, I think Apple is chaning its ways and there are rumors that Apple may start looking into gaming development, the gap seems to be shrinking (granted not alot, but...) besides there are games taht do run good on high end Macs and there has just been a new Mac coded game releaed recently.

And for FPS games, a mouse will always beat out a console.  That's not opinion, thats health science talking, more muscles activated = more accuracy in shooting, etc.

I'll be buying a XBOX 360, but a PS3 is my real target.... hmm I guess that places the 360 on the list for xmas, and the PS3 as the use of money gathered. Notice the PIPPIN like controller on the PS3, looks nice.


Title: Re: Alienwhere?
Post by: crypt on May 19, 2005, 04:15:03 am
Xbox 360 looks better, comes out first, and is only marginally less spec-wise than the PS3. Xbox Live now being free out of the box will bring a lot of customers. The real question is how much will the supporting cell processors help the main one.

Revolution is gonna be a sleeper system. Backwards compatibility all the way back to NES. Looking forward to a 360 and a Revolution powering my home system within the next year.


Title: Re: Alienwhere?
Post by: BTs_Mysterio on May 19, 2005, 05:35:00 am
The PS3, watch the intro press conference. That thing takes the 360 to school. Bluetooth controllers (+more) motion via camera can be used to control onscreen objects, wifi controllable and playable with PSP, backwards compatibility all the way to the PS1, the NVIDIA RSX, 7 cores, tested at up to 4GHz per thingy, deals with major companies, Rockstar remains on PS, true internet browsing, dual output, so you can surf on a computer monitor as you play, or do dual display like function, or use a 2nd screen as a hud.

The benchmarks show it ahead in ever tasks, and a very impressive lead in most. The PS3 will get my xmas money. The Xbox 360 looks worse everytime you see it. But 3 cores vs 7 cores and 3.2GHz vs 4GHz puts the PS3 on top. Seriously, go to gamespot and download the press conference, that thing is a supercomputing console. (it picks up after the first 2 guys)

PS2 also now has a true online system that has all the features of the next get live. It's incredible to see these consoles, but PS3 will likely prevail in the mindshare, and game developer share.

If Halo 3 is a glorified Halo 2 (which is a glorified Halo 1) people will loose interest.

I would agree with you Vipes that macs are aimed toward thoes working in the Graphic Arts and Media Production professions but I will not agree with the fact that PCs are aimed toward Acne covered teenagers. The truth is, PCs are still the most used of any computer on the market. I have never said that macs suck at anything that has to do with graphics, and honestly id get one if i was in ur field. Also, i never said i wasnt gonna get xbox 360...because i am....

Ok gents. there is no argument here. Rebel is known as a Mac user that is getting a PC for school. Mac's are better at graphic design software and PC's are better at running 3D programs such as games and 3D modeler's. Lets just leave it at that and congradulate rebs on his new cpu.

Title: Re: Alienwhere?
Post by: KoS.Rebel on May 20, 2005, 12:17:53 am
It isnt admin abuse, it is merely the truth. What he said is exactly the truth. Macs will never be good at anything gaming or 3d wise because their leader is a retard. Macs are stictly graphic design machines, if u want to play any kind of games, get a PC. Point made.

...mmm... toasty... I suppose this is classic behavior though. When you can no longer have it, you attack it out of jealously. I'm sure Freud would blame it on your sexual feelings towards your mother and father, however Freud's explanation may not be as to the point in this case.

I've got a mac on a student budget, my brother has two macs (old swivel imac and g4 ibook), its all about how you save, or spend your money. My brother had got summer jobs, and was therefore able to make enough to afford a mac.

Oh and having a pc as a student? My sisters boarding school forced her to buy a dell laptop. The motherboard failed, even after they got it fixed, the computer has a whole host of problems, and its not even a year old. I said she should have gotten a mac, but the school wouldnt allow it.

Its no use fighting the two spoiled butt buddies that are Myst and Typhy. Life partners are hard to break. Money was no concern for my decision on what to buy. I was just straight up tired of Mac and all the restrictions placed upon me. Enjoy your macs, good thing i wont have to come back here once i get my new comp. Maybe ill just come back to witness somemore stupidity from the butt buddies eh?

What is it exactly that you can do on your PC that I can't do on my mac?  Cause I have a PC at work, brand new top of the line...which I HATE USING.  And then I have my G5 at home which is a dream.  I use the same programs on both computers.  Something is just smoother on the G5 though...no crashes, the computer doesn't fuck up all the time, etc.

So I don't understand.  Why buy a PC?  I pray to god you aren't doing it for a few more stupid fucking games.  That is just insane and says a lot about your intelligence.

Acually, its not just for more games. The college im going to is one that Microsoft recruits from for new employees. Therefore, they provide the college with Microsoft software such as Office, and sell them to the students for less then half the actually price. Basically, the college gets alot of software from microsoft for really cheap or free. That is why bringing a mac to a microsoft sponsored college would be pointless.

Why?  Microsoft makes that same software for the mac.  I used to buy the cheap education versions of Microsoft's software when I was in college...FOR MY MAC.  If I remember correctly, I paid about $119 for the full version of Microsoft Office, when the retail version was $399.  So I still don't understand?  I think it's pointless to buy a PC...and I've been around long enough to know the difference.
