Age of Empires isn't the same after 3.

That was around the time they stopped making good PC games. :[ Everything's either done for platforms now (which is silly, since PCs can be upgraded more), or if it's for PC it's an MMO.

Everybody agrees with me that PC can run games with top-notch graphics and processing power no matter what console they defend...
Oh well. Guess it's one of those "things."

Yep, those "things" called "marketing". All the wonderful arguments telling people what their new game system can or cannot do? The magic of marketing!

I've noticed that the 360 get's a LOT of lauding from the media compared to the PS3 and Wii. Hmm. *Looks at Microsoft.*

Oh, come on, like you didn't know Microsoft was evil! :p

Hell, I'm a Microsoft fanboy and I know they're evil! I like Microsoft the same way that I like, say, Darth Maul or the Borg.

I'd rather have an evil Windows PC than a Starbuck's frequenting, minimalist, pretentious indie-kid Apple computer. Have fun with your lego games, guys!

Oh, don't get me started on Apple! Ever seen Pirates of Silicon Valley? Yeah, Exhibit 1 of several why I don't have that great of an opinion of Steve Jobs.

I think we could both go on and on about Apple.

We could start with the company logo. An Apple? Really? Traditional symbol of temptation? (Setting the first Macintosh's starting price at $666.66 didn't help that imagery any at all.) I've played with early Macs. Believe you me, they weren't that tempting.

I run OSX, its a geek thing to have a real Unix and drop down to the shell. My dayjob is Linux kernel drivers, might have something to do with it. Pet hate: The single threaded Explorer dreck that stalls like an idiot while it times out on network drives. Epicl fail in 2010 people.

LOL. I remember using those bulbous iMacs in elementary school to play Reader Rabbit and KidKeys. That was probably the biggest library of games they've ever had.

You make a guy feel old, ya know that? :p I trained on Photoshop on original edition iMacs during my senior year of high school. Worked under a professional graphic artist as a high school internship, part of the courses I had to take in Marketing Dynamics. My iMac kept crashing; kept trying to run a taxing 3D app - old version of Bryce - and the Mac kept running out of memory.

Now, you wanna talk about ancient, bulbous Macintosh computers? I trained on pre-OS 9 Macs. (iMacs were OS 9; OS 9.5, if you had the iMac DVD edition. PowerMacs - *giggle* - were OS 8.5. I trained on OS 7 and earlier.) Cut my teeth on old Commodore 64s, which were comparable to the Apple II. God, I miss Oregon Trail...

In elementary school we used Apple IIe computers. Hell there wasn't even an "internet" until I was out of high school! lol

Well, there wasn't a public Internet, anyway (though the Internet was around by the time I was in tenth grade, if that makes me sound any less like a wheezy old geezer). Remember, the Internet has always been in government hands. It's actually kind of silly, when you think about it: we think of the Internet as this vast, civilian-created "Final Frontier" for free speech and free thought, when all along it was a creation of the social elites in government, education and the military-industrial complex. *shrugs*
