first FPS shooter I bought on PC back in like 2002-2003 cant member...but that shows you how old I am...my biggest thing is that not everyone can get in on a 24in screen using the keyboard to play a fps or a sports game...thus the need for the 360 on the big screen....dude if youre a loner and have no one to play with then the pc fits you but if you play against people and not just online with fake friends then you see our point
but yes none the less both are still in fact just games....that are being taking far too serious by both sides
I was going to stay out of the argument, but seriously ... wtf? That statement is beyond wrong, it was PCs that started people gaming together, and basically what breed XBL. I was playing Doom/Q1/Q2/DN3D long before you were able to network consoles together ...
I have a toshiba satellite P205 and i was wondering if there is a way to upgrade my graphics card at a reasonable price. i just bought this thing about 2 months ago for 1500 and it's mainly used for school... but since it can handle decent games i use it for gaming too... problem is i just got back from best buy and they have an upgraded version of my laptop for the exact same price and i feel a bit cheated.
if anybody knows anybody who can do this types of upgrading for a decent price, please let me know.
another thing... it's a duo core processor @ 1.66 and 1.67 respectively... are those numbers ulative for processing purposes?
i know how duel processors work... i just dont know if i have 3.3 ghz of power or just a really fast 1.66.
yeah but now you need more then one pc to do that....or laptop and everyone having a laptop is not more then likely going to happen...wheres as in our case you just need one console and 4 controllers and it seems a bit more reasonable....i didnt say what came first because its clear that it was the PC....because I was playing word munch and oregon trail before I was playing mario brothers....we are just talking about different types of gaming and enviornments

So you're saying you'd rather play on a 1/4th of a screen than have one all to yourself?
Dude, if you really want to be a hardcore multiplayer, you go to a LAN party. There is just no comparison for the amount of fun you can have with other people gaming. It is manic, and it is brilliant. Best of all, you don't have your screen size chopped into a tiny cube (even on a big TV, the comparative area is small). Bliss.
Relatively speaking, you have a 3.0+ Ghz processor for single applications like gaming. The speeds aren't nearly as important anymore though, what matters is the processor's mul asking ability, in which the core duos are by far the best highly production model chipset around right now.another thing... it's a duo core processor @ 1.66 and 1.67 respectively... are those numbers ulative for processing purposes?
The bad news is that in nearly every single laptop the graphics card is not upgradeable. I'm almost certain that it's the case with your Toshiba.
You should also note that 2 months is a relatively long period of time in computers. Prices decrease extremely fast, and new systems come out at the same price with superior specs to the old. If you keep looking at the newest thing on the block you're always going to feel ripped off when you compare it to what you currently have.
And to counter any silly console fanboy that may use this response as an opportunity, please keep in mind that despite the claims of Sony about the power of the Ps3, dual 8800 cards from Nvidia absolutely decimate the Playstation in just about every graphical category. When the 9xxx series comes out, consoles will be relegated to a distant 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in the visuals department. And that distance will only grow until the Ps4/Xbox 720 is released. So yes, PCs are more expensive. But they also deliver a superior visual experience.
maddens and 2k8 is not split into sections when playing multi player.....not everyone owns a laptop decent enough to run a game for fps...dude just give it up...please....you talk about taking up space and arguing about how scheduling games is a waste for this thread where do you rank this.....exactly....so back to that tourney....when is it

thx cry havoc... i appreciate the info.
Biggest news is the merger of Blizzard and Activision ...
Dark Love the Redwings theme going.. miss seeing them ever since the NHL went on the hunting network.. or fishing network.. or whatever network it is.
if it's not split screen there is ZERO advantage to playing it on a console - you will always have better gfx and netcode on a pc.. for multiplayer the only advantage for a console is playing sitting next to your opponent splitscreen.
Have not been in this thread in awhile, I see allot of arguing, so I will step back out. Plus I have never played a pc game before so I am lost.
***back to Call of Duty 4 on Xbox 360***
I finally bought COD4.......you guys send me a pm with your gamertag so we can do some battle online.
I have been thinking about making a spreadsheet with everyone's gamertag along with thier spurstalk user name for our videogame community. I will be including the games you play on live as well. If you want to be on that list send me a pm if you want to be on there. Enigma you sent me a PM already, do you want to be on there?
Haha....yeah, Im a loner. I was a co-founder of a compe ive clan in SoF2 in 2002. I still game with 4 of those people, met nearly all of them at a LAN in Ohio (the guys from Australia and England didnt make it).
I still talk to most of them, played WoW for years with 3 of them...
4 of them have been emailing non-stop about CoD4. 4-5 more days until they get to pwn me and sharpen my skills again....
ok?I got my money on Danyo...cause he is not on the PC hes on SPURSTALK through his 360 typing with a controller....
We have 3 so far, keep em coming.
For anyone interested, been playing ME for about a week-I'm about 14 hours into it at this time.
All I have to say is this game completely rules my life right now, it has been a great ing game to this point, and one of the best RPG's I've ever played. I'll have to see how it finishes, but this game could move into my top 3 of Baulder's Gate, KOTOR and Oblivion.
The combat takes some getting used to, but having entire galaxies to explore? Just an amazing game and one you will definitely get your money's worth out of.
Mass Effect.
Balls, I don't like how you can't queue up attacks like you could in KOTOR. Really, really frustrating ...
Agreed. Also, KOTOR had multiple, viable offensive abilities. to be used situationally.
ME has Singularity, Throw and Lift. Everything else is fluff and not nearly as useful.
Just put the AI on "Active" and buy the Spectre gear (get the rich achievement of $1 million). Combat gets very trivial at that point.
i wish they would make a kotor 3. kotor 2's story sucked major ass but i dont think bioware made pt2.
anyway, ME is pretty in sweet! too bad i havent had much time to play it!i hate final exams.
