I might have fixed the Counterstrike problem. He has the network cable unplugged from the PC and was using it on the 360 while installing CS.


derr.....

? Hmm, you know I never can seem to reproduce many of these vista problems. But my copy of Vista is retail. His PC is completely OEM with probably a custom OEM edition of Vista, which might be the issue. What's wrong exactly?

"Can't start STEAM.EXE"

no Internet connection


(I hope...he's reinstalling it now.)

Sprung, go put something on. Seriously, it's creepy.

larf larf. I never got why they bothered with CDs on steam games, you have to activate through steam, then you can download it through steam (on any PC at that! ), and unless its a SP only game like HL2, you likely have broadband.

I guess that I should intervene at this point. PC gaming OWNS consoles. A reasonable gaming PC costs the same as an XBox 360 Premium, 1 or 2 games that show the power of the system, another wireless controller, the charging station, 1 year subscription to XBox live and a good HDTV... 42 inchers seem to be the trend where I work... Samsung branded and those are not cheap. And a Nyko cooler. You don't want that damn console dying on you after 6 months! :X

Where did I get this info? I WORK selling fucking consoles and I know firsthand the attachment rates of peripherals. And I'm not even throwing in the wireless adapter for the 360...

With that same money I could build a system that would make the PS3 ink in it's pants! Panda, care to do the estimate? Just arrived from work and I don't want to think about prices...

Now please somebody compare the total price of that to a custom built system that OWNS the XBox 360 setup I just mentioned...

PC Gaming FTW.

It's a good day.
This is not going to last long.

Myeah, I still prefer to sit a few feet away from the TV when playing games.

Besides, I never really saw a computer as a way to play games outside of emulation, and that's because I like to play my old console favorites. I'd play them on a console with emulator if I could, btw.

About an hour.

Including the nice 20" widescreen, OS and everything? eh, about $1,100. Depends on what you want EXACTLY, if you just ant to beat a PS3 in FLOPS and other areas, then prossibly $900. If you go linux, $780 (you can game in linux with cadega, sub. service).

Be back in a little bit.
