Omg, the moronic nerds in this topic. LOL!
If you're wrong you admit you're wrong. If you can't get your facts right then its really your problem. You have no credibility. The real joke is why you continue to post garbage facts and then get upset, yet try to cover it with feigned indifference.

Shut the hell up with your nerdgasms. This topic literally takes the phrase "Angry Nerd" to a whole new level, lmfao. Sad really.
Is this what you say whenever you are proven you are wrong ?
I'd rather be called an "angry nerd" than a hypocritical idiot with no credibility. Considering your maturity and your dependence on yahoo answer, I don't think you can tell the difference sadly. You didn't even use "nerdgasm" in the proper context.

You posted about 3 pages of how great xbox and PS is, and then you call others "angry nerds". You cannot be taken seriously.
 
I can ignore the pointless debate about the merits of of exclusive PC vs exclusive console. However, there is too much misinformation that cannot be perpetuated.
Don't bother. He's pretending to be retarded to make people mad.

Maybe tomorrow the sun will rise over a bright new day and Catgirl will finally realize his one true calling is to kill himself.

I honestly don't even think he is a troll. He is not intelligent enough to make witty/sarcastic comments,yet support an underlying hidden point, such as 1) trying to criticize how everyone overhypes next generation tech or 2) how we as consumers have irrational loyalties to certain brands.

People who genuinely don't have their facts right, but spread that misinformation on the forums is a problem.

Lol, how pretentious is this? Well I'll oblige this fool, just one last time.

You're pointing out moot facts, trying to make mountains out of mole hills. I said my friend is selling a PC for $2,400, and you didn't even debate that, you just insulted one of the specs that you could buy a RAM upgrade for $300. Again, nobody cares, you still need to "install" it. Minus the fact you need the rest of the parts.

$300 for a top of the line piece of hard ware when you could just buy a whole PS4 for $100 more? What the hell point are you trying to disprove? Lol!

And if you don't like Yahoo answers, then I'll make a compilation of various links to the subject matter you, (and probably nobody else) will even bother reading, but I'll post them anyways to oblige your bigotry nature.

^ "Price range various around the $1,500."

http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/986175-Marest-s-Sample-Builds

^ Notice all the "budget" builds are under $1,000? All the good ones like a Intel i7 4770k cost around a little less than a stand-alone PS4? That's not factual? It has a goddamn price tag next to it, read it please.

Oh, and did I mention you can't play Soul Calibur on PC? So everyone in this topic bashing consoles, and who plays Soul Calibur, is now a hypocrite.

Aside from price - build competence - and game titles for PC, (the sirloin of my point) nobody will buy a PC for gaming. Nobody gives a shit if you can "build" one yourself for $600 and not play Soul Calibur, or get into minor price specs. That's having a nerdgasm. >:P You, Slade, and Norik all play on console games, so this is probably the most retarded "discussion" I've ever seen. It's like Console gamer insults console gamer for not having a gaming PC.

EDIT: Oh' something interesting to own PC gaming with.

http://www.pcgamer.com/2010/08/13/relic-steam-could-save-pc-gaming-from-piracy/

Steam saved PC gamers, because Piracy on PC gaming was so out of control, publishers stopped porting games to PC. Read up, read up! Unless your dyslexic. Oh, and if you buy a PC game from the store, you can't re-sell it like you can on consoles, it's about the same policy "DRM" that people hated so passionately about the XB1, until Microsoft changed their policies. So for those budget gamers, you have even MORE of a reason to not buy a gaming PC.

What's funny is you were the one defending the Xbox One's original DRM policies, insulting anyone who even cared about used games and calling them all sorts of shit for being "poor." What's even funnier is that you're getting the most expensive of all three next-gen consoles, and bitch about getting free games.

This lack of consistency, combined with your need to contradict popular opinion in pretty much every thread you post (which causes nothing but pointless arguments) and the fact that your "arguments" consist of nothing but sale numbers "facts" that are completely made up, point to a few possible conclusions:
  • Your only objective is to create conflict and piss people off
  • You're a mentally troubled person with the maturity of a 12 year old
  • You're just a poor excuse for a troll
All of which are equally scary.

Oh really? I was perfectly fine and so was everyone when you weren't in this topic. Look back at this page to see yourself, Norik.

http://8wayrun.com/threads/pc-vs-consoles.16943/page-3#post-640049

Clearly you're just an aggressive douche. I made a simple comment and you freaked out with 4 paragraphs insulting console gamers. Any bent up anger their Norik?

Past contradictions? LMFAO!!! Are you just repeating yourself like an idiot now to posts I already responded to? Hey Norik, here's a little flash from the past... Look on page 4 buddy...

I was fine with the XB1 and Microsoft's decision, because I buy new games 90% of the time. My point is this board complained non-stop about "DRM won't let me rent or buy used games!" and "DRM forces me to sign in once per 24 hours! Omg!" and "DRM is corporate greed in the making!" In PC gaming, they get all of that! This board had a massive issue with DRM, so according to that logic, they should all be bashing the hell out of PC gaming.

^ Look familiar? Or do you have poor memory? Whichever the case, if anyone here is a troll it's you. How stupid do you got to be to own a console and call other people retarded for playing on consoles? How stupid? That's an actual question... I want to know what a hypocrite can say, perhaps "Hey Ishimaru! Well... PC gaming is better but... I don't play on PC because... well... Uhh... It's just better!"

Whichever the case, you bought a f***ing console over a PC and you're in a topic insulting people for buying consoles. How f**king retarded does that make someone look? Pretty retarded, but that's just you... after all.

Well when you don't have your facts right but aren't man enough to admit it, its easy to mistake people correcting you as being "pretentious". Or, on the other hand, you could be trying to gain sympathy from bystanders, but I wouldn't hold my breath for some internet white-knight.
I said my friend is selling a PC for $2,400, and you didn't even debate that, you just insulted one of the specs that you could buy a RAM upgrade for $300.
Who brought up 32 gigs of ram in an failed attempt to impress? It was you. I even specifically mentioned that I'm breaking down the math of such a claim so I am trying to debate that.
Again, nobody cares, you still need to "install" it. .
Secondly, if nobody cares about the rest of the component then why on earth did you bring it up ?

Its silly that you think I brought up the market value of 32 gigs of ram specifically to insult you. I brought it up because there is hard data that you can easily look up to verify if the price is really worth it.
Speaking of insults, you missed a lot of cleverly hidden ones but explaining them to you kind of ruins it.

$300 for a top of the line piece of hard ware when you could just buy a whole PS4 for $100 more? What the hell point are you trying to disprove? Lol!
You brought it up, not me. I'm challenging how you came to $2,400 in the first place. If you think there is anything else that matters, then you are wrong. In fact, it was obvious I was specifically debating $2,400 and you are not even aware of what I am challenging you on.

It makes no sense to bring up your pal "chris" and his $2,400 PC system unless you want people to think you actually know about higher end PC components (which you do not) or that you want to discredit PC systems by being too pricey (which was disproven by that you couldd save significantly when building your own). You specifically put a value on the PC, and obviously you should have either backed it up or not have brought it up at all.

Really? A blanket quote without any components. You can do better than that. I actually dont' even think you read the CONTEXT of the your links and you are just sniffing around for quotes. If you are just googling "gaming computer builds $1,500" please stop. You even posted right underneath a forum thread (from an MMO forum) that gave many different gaming builds from $376 upwards. Heck, you are contradicting yourself. Its either $376 upwards or $1,500 upwards.

I'm looking at your link and the cheapest "budget" (I have no idea why you have to put it in quotes) is as follows:

Extreme Budget Gaming 370
MoBo: MSI B75MA-P33$49.99
CPU: Intel Celeron G1610$49.99
RAM: G.Skill 1333MHz 2x2GB$35.99
GPU: Sapphire Radeon 7770 GHz$104.99
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 500GB$59.99
PSU: Antec VP-450W$39.99 Review
Case: Antec VSK-4000$34.99
--------------------------------------------------
Estimated Total Price – $376

^ Notice all the "budget" builds are under $1,000?
Yeah the least expensive budget build is under $377 dollars. What is your point ? I don't know why you chose to use $1,000 as some arbitrary cut-off, but you are hiding the fact that your own link has a budget build for almost a 3rd of $1,000.

All the good ones like a Intel i7 4770k cost around a little less than a stand-alone PS4? That's not factual? It has a goddamn price tag next to it, read it please.
Arn't you the one to have said that having top-line PC parts don't matter?
Your whole rambling earlier was that you didn't even need top-line parts to play and that the games were the most important reason why one should pick a particular console over another, and yet you start mouthing off about i7. You don't really have a point.
Just to help you out, a PC consists of more than just a cpu. If you are comparing a top end cpu to a PS4, then this highlights that you are getting simple PC concepts confused.

Nobody gives a shit if you can "build" one yourself for $600 and not play Soul Calibur, or get into minor price specs.
You're acting like you do though.
That's having a nerdgasm.
No, thats not a nerdgasm either. Look it up, there's simple memes that i'm sure even you can understand. If you're going to make grade-school level insults, at least make sure the context is correct please.

>:P You, Slade, and Norik all play on console games, so this is probably the most retarded "discussion" I've ever seen. It's like Console gamer insults console gamer for not having a gaming PC.
I won't speak for Slade and Norik because they are holding their own fine here.

But, please quote me when I said console systems were not good. Please go ahead, since you seem to be so talented at looking up things online. Otherwise, stop imagining things. I specifically posted in this thread to point out how much of an ill-informed individual you are, but not because I dislike console systems. I strive not to be a hypocrite in my conduct and I would appreciate that you do not as well.
All of my correspondence between me and yourself is not "PC vs Console", but "Ishimaru Jinrai vs Facts". I believe in Facts and will fight on its behalf.

I'm giving you one "out." I don't even need you to apologize. If you stop posting in an antagonizing manner, I'll stop pointing them out.

Nope, 100% wrong, you need to read harder. People talk about how much better gaming PCs are over consoles, but they fail to mention most of those PCs were using top of the line specs, which are fine. But I'm going to point out on average how much the latest PC components cost. Because cost effective, you'll see consoles are just an overall smarter investment.

I already said (now make sure you read closely, I don't want you to miss this kiddo!)

If you want to get your PC's full capacity, you'll need to buy the latest specs, which often cost a lot. If you're buying a PC that cost about $400 to build, it's either a low-en budget PC, or it's crap.

Have I ever said that NOT having good PC components was a good option? No, so you obviously need to read harder. You're competing against an XB1 and PS4, which both have -

- Both come completely assembled.

- Both don't need to be opened up and upgraded periodically.

- They are both competitively priced to undercut gaming PCs. High end PC components by themselves cost about half as much as a PS4.

- NOBODY CARES ABOUT $300 BUDGET PCs! Got it though your brain? Ishimaru doesn't like them, I don't want other people to have them. So stop using them as an example for the sole purpose of comparing price. They suck.

- Gaming PCs have greater potential over consoles, because you can optimize and upgrade the hell out of them. But comparing them to next-gen consoles, you're going to need to drop about $1,000 on some top grade hard ware. If you disagree then I don't want to see you get an XB1 or a PS4, go buy a gaming PC instead, making a Youtube video building it, and stay on it. I've always said a gaming PC can have much, much better graphics and FPS over a home console device. I've never denied that.

Most likely you'll just buy a PS4 or XB1 in November of this year because you know PC is a big f**king hassle anyways. If you do buy a PS4 or XB1 in November, then congrats, I proved my point.

They can probably run games ok if your criteria of fun doesn't rest on having top-line performance. Sound familiar?

...snip...
See, it is not so hard to post without wording your posts that piss people off.

Wuht, if you own a console, that means you've probably purchased it for one of the reasons I've listen, either for exclusive games, a bigger online community, or just for simplicity.

All of my correspondence between me and yourself is not "PC vs Console", but "Ishimaru Jinrai vs Facts". I believe in Facts and will fight on its behalf.

Oh good, so you're not even defending gaming PCs in all their faults, you're just simply here to argue price ranges with me. Ok, gotcha. xD
 
Oh really? I was perfectly fine and so was everyone when you weren't in this topic. Look back at this page to see yourself, Norik.
Except I was one of the first people to post on the thread, and it all went fine until you started calling me uneducated and biased for stating facts.
Clearly you're just an aggressive douche. I made a simple comment and you freaked out with 4 paragraphs insulting console gamers. Any bent up anger their Norik?
That's interesting, because you're the one who directly attacks people and tells them what they like sucks because you're not into it.
Whichever the case, if anyone here is a troll it's you.
How am I a troll? Because I don't just take your insults and made up "facts"? Or because I point out your inconsistent line of thinking? Do you even know what trolling means?
"Hey Ishimaru! Well... PC gaming is better but... I don't play on PC because... well... Uhh... It's just better!"
Except I actually do play on both. If you really think my point here is to bash console players simply because they play on consoles then you're missing my point. Again.
Whichever the case, you bought a f***ing console over a PC and you're in a topic insulting people for buying consoles. How f**king retarded does that make someone look? Pretty retarded, but that's just you... after all.
And then I'm the one with ego issues who needs to vent out his anger. Riiiigght...

Maybe if you could express your opinion without directly attacking those who disagree and pissing everyone off in the process, just maybe, none of this would be happening. Not trying to argue about a topic you know little about in the first place would also help, but I guess this wouldn't be the Internet if the masses used logic. To quote Vincent:
NOBODY KNOWS HOW ANYTHING WORKS, BUT EVERYBODY THINKS THEY KNOW WHAT'S BEST.

Oh, oh really? You're not bashing console players? Oh.. well let me just quote you on another post.

all the people buying consoles are retarded. They're just sheep
chances are you're doing so on a system capable of doing all the BS the Xbone and PS4 are hyping -and better. I just don't see why you'd want to do any of that on a less comfortable interface with a much more limited input, with the exception of maybe the TV bullshit only technologically illiterate morons would care about.

Maybe some of you simple-minded peasants can get by with nothing but your shitty TV shows, 4 minute comedy videos, and old movies on Netflix; but those of us who need culture and actual reading/discussions will always need a PC.
Console's community is larger -
Yeah, thecommunity consists of a bunch of immature 12 year olds.

^ Wow, so you think console gamers are whiny 12 years olds, mindless sheep, brainless peasants, they care about bull shit TV, useless shows, and they're retarded? (All in your own words mind you.)

Lol, you must be a troll, because no person on this board is as hypocritically as you Norik. You just keep embarrassing yourself further and further... "I'm not bashing console gamers! Wait.... Hmm.... I'm just saying they're stupid..."

There it is, clear as crystal, you lose, good day sir!! Now go rage quit this convo and hypce about why Nintendo makes 1% profit margins yet they're a better company than Activision. Then use the default scapegoat "Oh, profits don't mean anything!" Arguing with you is like a dog chasing it's tail, lmfao.

Except I never said this, and when I click your quote it directs me to my previous post. You know you can't win this argument with logic and facts, so at this point you're just outright lying and trying to make me look bad.

Worst. Troll. Ever.

Now STFU go to the CoD forums at gamefaqs, that's where you belong.

That was a comment you probably edited, because you used the word "retarded" paraphrasing console gamers buying a product, and you refereed to them as "sheep". Besides, even funnier when you said "there is virtually no reason to buy a console!" after I listed 4 reasons to buy one, and case and point, you own a console. So I guess you found a reason to buy one then? You need to be more consistent with the nonsense you say...

You're just upset I owned you so bad in the old Nintendo topic. =]

Is that what this is all about? "Owning" someone? Do you seriously believe acting retarded makes you look good? I can't even begin to imagine what kind of a piece of shit you must be IRL.

You sound upset, maybe you shouldn't make bold statements and attack people, like me, who call you on your BS.

"Activision is a horrible company!"

"WoW is a terrible game!"

"People who buy consoles are just mindless sheep!"

"More companies need to be like Nintendo!"

You just open yourself up by saying this nonsense Norik. Those things are all typed by you, and people just don't have the balls or intellectual competence to argue you down. (Or the patience.) Look at how you degraded here, you've basically admitted I'm spot on about consoles vs PC. All you're arguing about is PC component prices along with personal attacks, because you don't have the humility to say "You're right Ishimaru... I bought a console because it was cheaper, and simpler, but I'm glad you agree gaming PCs have much, much better graphics."

You called console gamers mindless sheep, you bragged about PC graphics, you own a console, now you say consoles are fine, now you're arguing about PC component prices, then you say you don't need great graphics to play games. (Why the hell did you brag about graphics then?) You go full circle with your nonsense. Lmfao! That's why I made you look silly as hell in the Nintendo topic.

You're right, "I am sound upset" because I am. Doesn't make you any less of a bad troll.

What you fail to realize is that I'm not "bragging" about graphics. This is a debate about which platform is superior, and I'm pointing out why PCs are objectively superior. You might have a different opinion, but it doesn't change the facts. If you enjoy your Xbox that's fine, but don't say PC gaming sucks when it doesn't.

You claim "PC GAMING SUX AND IS DED BECUS [lies]", and then get all defensive when presented evidence that indicates otherwise. Just accept you were wrong and move on. Stop being so stubborn.

Again, we've been here before. You're such a horrible liar Norik, do you even read your garbage? I posted 4 links two pages ago showing PC prices and you said I was "lying about PC prices", like, do you see the links? Do you see the price tags? Are you oblivious to numbers?

Again, Steam saved PC, since Norik says I'm making everything up, I'm going to take the time to make him look dumb (once again), by (once again) linking to a bunch of credible sources to back up what I just typed.

http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/steam_savior_or_slayer_pc_gaming

"Despite the proliferance of personal computers of all shapes and sizes, rising piracy issues and increased developer focus on the consoles has pushed the PC from the dominant platform to an almost forgotten afterthought. In the malaise of the mid aughts, with the PS2 and X-Box dominating the scene and the 360 and PS3 looming large on the horizon, PC gaming looked to be headed toward extinction. Enter Steam."

PC's that totally kick XB1's and PS4's asses, price ranges.

You're acting like a clown Norik, you link to footage of crisp clear games on a $1,500 PC, but when price is brought into the light you highlight a budget PC worth $480. Expensive PC - Highlight graphics. Low budget PC - Highlight the price tag.

I said PC gaming sucks because of the price and lack of exclusive console games. I don't just out-right say something "sucks" without a given reason. Get owned!

Fuck this. I was typing out a logical, respectful response, but then I remembered I'm dealing with a grown man who impersonates a woman over the internet and resorts to infantile name-calling and XBL-level phrases to prove a point that doesn't exist.

Eat a dick.

PS: "Get owned"? Are you 12 years old?
