<0> you expect to much from them with so much powerful media mna
<0> man *
<1> i know there's little reason for them to be into pcs
<1> i know
<1> that's my point
<1> the computer generation is aging
<2> Nah they're less likely because they're like me - stuck with crappy dialup
<0> my little brother is 4 he spends his free time on the pc
<1> these kids will grow up and all they'll ever need is a handheld pda to check their myspace
<1> that's the future
<0> but my niece and nephew are like 8/10 and they spend there time on the xbox
<3> xboxspace.com
<0> but its a good way forward man
<0> hehe
<1> away from computers isn't good tho
<0> there will always be that progression man ..
<1> ya i know, technologies die
<0> well.. the evolve into bigger and better things
<1> this is just reverse tho
<1> i don't know if you've noticed or not but the grand majority of ircers are in their late twenties
<2> Not late
<1> its a very specific age group
<2> I'm 23 :)
<1> ok ok mid
<0> same here :)
<2> palisade: Age? :)
<0> 23
<1> lol
<0> he's ubee old
<1> 26
<0> :D
<1> you guys see my point tho
<1> at some point... something changed
<0> yeah, is Ghaleon your twin ?
<3> the kittah was not handed down
<2> All we need now is for Windows Vista to run on XBox
<1> exactly
<1> as Ghaleon said
<1> the kittah
<1> it was not handed down
<2> If it did I'd switch too
<4> ghaleon u got married young
<1> my cousin who's 25, a computer programmer, no longer upgrades his PC because of the xbox 360
<0> heh
<0> thats just said
<1> ya i know
<4> sad too
<0> you can have some much more fun with the pc
<2> sad too
<4> o what is this
<0> sad*
<2> chandler_: :)
<0> even..
<4> lol:)
<0> hehe
<3> chandler_: I am not marrieds
<3> PC is way too much monays for one game
<1> _jambit: well parents should be investing in a PC not an xbox 360.... a PC can lead to all kinds of interesting jobs
<0> well what does he program?
<2> _jambit: Exactly - you can er... get viruses, trojans, worms, have to pay $30 a year for a subscription to Norton/McAfee, pay $200 every two to three years for a new OS
<5> a 360 can lead to house fires
<3> s/house/genital
<1> my brothers both stopped upgrading/buying PCs, they're years behind the curve and they don't care
<0> lol
<1> they buy their kids xbox and gamecube and gba
<4> i think microsoft wants to rape us with vista
<4> something like 300 and upwards probably
<0> you can over clock the **** out your pc, keep up to date with the latest hardware software trends, play all the latest games, and get everything for free just piss of the RIAA and the DRM companies, and still have time for porn
<0> :)
<1> hehe :-)
<0> and be able to ALT+TAB as opposed (TRIGGER+BLCK_BUTTON)
<3> but it costs like 400% more
<0> if your clever enough to realise that a xbox costs $300+
<0> and a new cpu/mobo costs less that
<3> the video card for the PC costs $300+
<0> thats where your supposed to be clever
<0> how many games does it make the xbox worth it ?
<3> ?_?
<0> i suppose, im dumb, the pc is a lot more expensive
<3> plz use english?
<0> you have a good point
<2> If the XBox could run Windows it'd be worth it - but the games aren't that interesting to me
<1> Ghaleon: he just realized he was wrong about that
<3> ohjkay
<1> _jambit: yea the PC is a lot more expensive
<1> but that's because MS/Sony/Nintendo take price cuts
<3> you can get a cheap non-gaming PC
<1> they lose money on the console
<3> which is what I have
<1> so that they'll make money on the games
<1> by having a larger user base
<0> no, its because all the parts + the games add up to alot more than just a console and games
<2> Yes a cheap non-gaming PC - it's called Dell
<2> Add non-functional too
<0> swings and roundabouts man..
<3> but it used to be a semi-expensive gaming rig
<3> that was 2 years
<3> consoles last like 3 or 4
<0> i would not leave my Rig these days, and i have and will get the latest consoles eventually..
<4> consoles lasted 5 before ms stepped in
<3> nah
<0> i have couple of modded xboxs here and a DreamCast that i play occasionally
<3> Sony screwed up PS2 too
<4> what
<0> i think the PS2 is still a nice machine
<3> they technically released PS2.5 when it hit america
<0> nintendo screwed there research up...
<3> "Nobody wants kewl gfx!" -Nintendo
<0> lol
<0> nobady wants a decent CPU either it seems,.
<4> gamecube was bad for first year
<4> that hurt its reputation
<3> and Nintendo's bank account
<4> cuz it didnt get the good stuff, sunshine/windwaker/metroid until a lot later
<0> a couple of games, Metroid Prime i/ii were good, Zelda..
<1> i have an xbox, i was addicted to it for the longest time
<0> yeah same :)
<0> Halo, halo II
<3> I thought Metroid Prime was junk
<2> Actually the XBox 360 is a good deal
<1> nah i got sick of those fast
<1> they're not that great
<0> then i hit the modding scene and went pirate
<2> Doubles as a space heater
<1> rs3 was great
<0> MP1 was awesome
<3> s/awesome/lamesome
<0> RS3 ?
<0> hah.
<1> rainbow six 3
<6> mapAtt[mapIndex].at(counter)=line[i]; <--WFrobozz, that crashes my program.
<3> it needed configureable controls
<0> you play halflife 2 Ghaleon ?
<3> yeah
<0> ah...
<1> WFrobozz: nobody needs a space heater, its summer
<1> well spring
<1> will be summer tho
<1> and it'll be hot
<1> as hell
<0> palisade, i never played it.. RS6 is out soon ?
<3> it was the last game to come out and run good on my PC
<3> Oblivion runs, but just barely
<1> _jambit: no idea haven't been watching
<3> DOOM3 was supar fast
<0> Sure sure :)
<0> Ghaleon, what rig do you have?
