Funny thing is, even when I play something in my living room I end up standing in front of the TV anyway, being relaxed back in my couch makes my reaction time quite
shite so I can't play properly...making my PC actually more comfortable.
But there's also the fact that the PC isn't just a gaming method, it's a general device. I couldn't imagine not playing a game like Skyrim without access to a wiki or similar reference source a few keystrokes away. I also don't have (nor have I ever experienced) the "OMG UBAR MEGA SURROUND SOUND! FIVE POINT FIVE MILLION DOLBY RAAAAAAH! *pectoral dance*" (Sorry, was channeling Terry Crews for a moment...) and am perfectly happy with my headset. I personally don't like the notion of spending money on a machine just for gaming, as my PC is much more than that. I was raised with a computer so I'm literate enough in it to deal with most problems, and like the control that comes with it. I don't like the fact that when a console malfunctions, there's often jack-shit ye can do about it than send it back for a replacement if the warranty is still valid.
However, I know many people very much
aren't well versed in such things, and don't wish to deal with it. Fixing a PC problem is very much a headache, even more so if you need to research heavily to understand
why it's a problem. I can understand why people prefer the simplicity of a console, therefore I don't berate them unless they're being absolute arseholes about it...course then I berating them for an entirely different reason.
I'm tired and forgot I forgot where I was going with that post about halfway through. I just started typing thoughts at the Terry Crews bit...PC more complicated, but rewarded in certain ways. Console still valid entertainment, users not less people for doing. People need stop butthurt. Tired, rock no taste good.
