I don't know if this is worth mentioning, but it kinda bugs me. I was watching some videos at rev3games.com. The segment called Game of The Week the staff was going on about Minecraft on the 360. The only thing that was really said about the game was "well I can play from my couch." One of Rev3 staff went as far as to say "I don't have to set a my computer like an idiot, because only idiots set at there computer clearly." Now I know this is not a big deal so I let it go. Next I watched The Totally Rad Show review The Walking Dead game. One of the guys mentions that Steam sell The Walking Dead as a season pass. Isn't The Term season pass reserved for console games? I definitively know I have never seen the words season pass attached to games on Steam. Couple this with the fact the gametrailers.com recently updated the PC page for the first time in a long time. I could go on bringing up more examples; however, you get my point. It's just seems a shame that the first gaming system (PC) will all ways feel like a second-class citizen to the console masses. What is everyone's opinion on this? Also recommend some gaming sites that you guys prefer.

They try to put us down because they know that were the Elite. Any actual idiot can run to the closest store buy a . 360/ps3/wii, plug it in and pop in a disc. That's why they are the majority. The average 'idiot' doesn't know how to build, maintain, upgrade a gaming rig. Troubleshoot any issues and keep things running smooth. These sites are catered to the masses and don't feel its worth the time to get to the roots of gaming.

Big money in the consoles on a larger scale for North America so they just go with the easy option. Myself I can't even watch review shows anymore or read reviews anymore because you can clearly tell they build it around the consoles and just copy and paste the same thing for the PC without commenting on PC specific features if there are any.

For me it's much easier. I guess I just grew out of consoles. And my PS3 is just a
DVD Player/Blu-Ray Player and netflix player.

I totally understand where your coming from Wooderson. Makes perfect sense!

I have an xbox 360, which I only got to play Guitar Hero. I can't play any other type of game on a console, the controls are crap... Give me a keyboard and mouse... Since Guitar Hero died, I have just been using it for a windows media center extender.
