nothing kills a mood like someone talking about Star Wars prequel plot detail
While I generally agree with the general tone of your post, mine was a response to the guy who I quoted who said that the point of consoles is not breaking the bank and thus comparing to PCs was stupid. Which is untrue.
I dunno about other countries but here in Finland the top online PC component store will assemble your PC for 20 euros if you buy a case, motherboard etc not just a 2 random parts.
You are absolutely right about this one. Its the worst and RMAing stuff is really annoying. It can happen to consoles too, of course but its simpler just sending the whole console in since its one manufactorer.
Yup, the mark ups are quite high with those brands. Again, just speaking for my country, several of the most popular local online PC component stores have ready built gaming rigs with very minimal markup for sale.
Can't speak for AMD but Nvidia experience makes this a non-issue.

Yeh, that's my main bugbear with building my own machine. For the sake of £100-£300 over the odds, I'd rather pay extra for a console like RMA experience. The old adage of money vs time stands true. My PC gaming plan is the same as my apple ownership plan. Sell on ebay every 1-2 years and just buy all new (probably whatever new x51 is out at the time).
I have an Nvidia card, but I've avoided installing any of the "experience" stuff so far. I heard warnings about the "updateususer" stuff and have avoided it ever since.
Of course! and I agree wholeheartedly that PC gaming is fab (Sleeping Dogs at 60fps/1080p is one of my defining gaming moments of the last few years). I wouldn't have bought another gaming PC if I didn't think it's worth it, but I just wanted to point out as I see the argument a lot on GAF that you can buy cheap and get a superior experience with PC that it isn't exactly black and white and you should know what you're getting into.
Thanks for the explanation

You didn't enjoy the Jawa fuckfest in Star Wars? :lol
Mount and Blade was great. Drew's game (missed the name) is mad boring though.

I totally forgot I pre-ordered this about 3 years ago. Thanks for the reminder Drew!

The term has been misused so often that people don't actually know what's rogueish about a roguelike.

It's okay. The star wars mod and Brad's weird character maker were entertaining.

My bad, the 360 came out in '06 in Australia. Although it seems like Dead Rising didn't come out here until September so it was more like a "launch window" title for us.

I love Jeff's take on the whole Diretide rage between the podcast and now UPF
"Should turn it on permanently and go "Here, Fuck You. We gave Diretide. Eat a Dick!"'

Goddamn, I had way too much pizza (and it wasn't even super heavy pizza; it was prawn, feta and capsicum), and I felt so tired from it that I went to sleep.
It's a miracle that they stayed up for the full 24 hours.

I like my pizzas to be more than edible plates filled with cheese and meat.

Oh, look at Mr. Fancypants over err wit his fancy schamncy pizza. Doesn't eat the common folk pizza he says. Needs to say capsicum because peppers is too common speak.
Don't make us feel too small Mr. Fancypants, I don't know if our little brains can handle it.
I'm just giving you shit, man. A feta and prawn pizza sounds fucking awesome.

It was pretty good.
I prefer a wafer-like bit of hard bread with just a taste of anything resembling a topping. Or as it is more commonly know, microwave pizza.
Bread, sauce, cheese - maybe some form of processed meat loaded with salt and preservatives. It might taste stale but in a fridge all those things are good for weeks.

That Hatsune Miku QL is still amazing. GOOD MAN COLOUR is still an amazing lyric.
Damn straight.
Damn straight.
People who does that just do it because that's what they've always done. It is not needed and haven't been for a long time.
If something would screw up, then you can do a complete uninstall and install. But that rarely happens.

I admit I thought that was needed until I tried doing it myself. Lol

Really? I can't remember the time I had a driver issue. Just run the installer (now Geforce Experience) and go.
Then again, I've always made sure my PC builds stick to popular configurations. Always went with CPU/GPU/Motherboard/RAM combinations which were very common. It doesn't really matter as much now, with everything becoming so consumer-friendly, but the odds were good that one of the several rigs developers/QA used would match mine.
