Is PC gaming dead?
MMO's, like RTS games, are a perfect example of a genre that does better on PC's than it does on consoles. I have no idea why they would be dismissed as part of the PC gaming landscape. Facebook games (and casual games in general) can be dismissed because the market is clearly shifting towards tablets and phones for that sort of entertainment. You barely need a running PC to play them as well, meaning they do not drive much in the way of hardware sales.

Is PC gaming dead?
I'm not sure what you are looking to achieve here, that is exactly why the PC is clearly not dying. It has a vibrant and growing independent movement. That's a pretty big deal. Also, Obsidian and InXile aren't exactly small time developers, they are medium sized and they are both finding success by going independent. The big question is can you show me a AAA game that was released on both the 360 and PS3 and was NOT released on the PC?

If you are going to list games exclusive to specific consoles, then you are basically saying the consoles they are not released on are also dead.

The Kickstarter Thread
I've never seen a project get that much and not manage to push over the threshold. Crazy, they've got 70 minutes left.

Greylord, what is your definition of a port? Most AAA games are released for the PC right alongside the console versions. Rockstar is the only major developer I can think of that releases on the PC as an afterthought. Alan beat me to it Also most of us here own and use consoles, so your PC fanboi labels are a bit off base.

But everyone already refuted all your points in the other thread. I would think this would be the point where you go "After looking at all the evidence, I guess my theory was off-base." That's how the internet works, after all.

What's on the idiot box...
The Bluths are back! The great thing about Netflix is you get the whole season all at once. The bad thing is I will finish the season in about a day and need to wait another year for the next one...if they do another one.

Meanwhile in London: Beheading in broad daylight
"In the name of X"? Pointless. People ultimatively kill eachother because they are stupid, greedy f***. Religion has got nothing to do with it. That's my point. Did you read the post before mine?

Eh, I could dig up thousands of stories like that being done in the name of Christianity.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kirk losing his father in the first film is a new twist, no? So new movie Kirk compared to TV show Kirk would be lacking that father figure? Just a possible explanation for the change in character, I don't really read that much into these things. I go for the explosions.

Shadowrun Returns
Isn't there a couple out at this point? It is the first I pledged. It does seem to be the first big RPG, for sure.

Quite a few of us own consoles and play them regularly, Greylord, so I'm not sure where you get the idea that you are alone in that here. What you are alone in is the misguided notion that PC gaming is dead. It has simply changed. You are correct that it has lost visibility in stores. But it has become a huge part of the digital marketplace landscape. Also you keep bringing up Steam alongside Blizzard, which is odd. Blizzard is a very successful developer, but Steam's success is for entirely different reasons and benefits countless developers. You can start worrying about PC gaming being dead when the big developers and publishers stop making games on the PC. That hasn't happened. Sure, Call of Duty sells a buttload of copies on consoles, and yet they still feel it is worth releasing a PC version. Why would they release their games on a dead system?

I noticed your internet connection has a bit to do with it, I could not get very clear images running on my laptop with wifi at work. One of my classes got really lucky and ended up with the Universal Studios sign for Orlando Florida. They got 5500 points for that one alone.

Hangover 3 - Don't spend any money seeing this. I had a free ticket and I still felt like it was a waste. It really didn't make me laugh. The only positive is that it gave a sense of closure to the whole story, I have no desire to see these people again. I loved the first one and thought the 2nd had some good moments, so I was pretty surprised how little this did for me.

What you did today
I asked my wife, who was a personal trainer and has a kinesiology degree, and she said that the fatigue factor that you subject your muscles to can increase the risk of tears and strains. But if you are careful about using different muscle groups on different days, it shouldn't be a problem. Cardio is different, you should be able to do that every day no problem.

What you did today
Hmm, I just read that zinc is one of the components that the body needs to create testosterone, since I'm lifting weights 1.5 hours / day 7 days a week which increases production of testosterone quite significantly there might indeed be a zinc deficit.I don't know if it works that way, but I'm definitely going to ask for a blood screen. I'm not a fitness expert, but aren't you supposed to have a rest day worked in there somewhere?

Propaganda doesn't actually need any truth to work, it just needs a lack of education to prey on.
