And the game was equally awful on the PC as on the Gh3yBox.
I'm not sure what was worst, the horrible gameplay and controls or the

Being that I haven't actually sat down at the controls and played it I 
can't say whether or not it's awful but having seen it be played both on 
XBox and on a PC, and watching gameplay footage I can say for certain that 
it is nothing special. UT2k3 looks way nicer and performs better.

Is that supposed to count for anything? Trying to play a first-person
shooter with a gamepad is like playing hockey without ice-skates.
In addition to that, the XBOX controller is by far the most horrible
gamepad ever conceived by mankind. It's even worse than the N64
controller whose analog stick would break off just by staring hard at
it.

>the graphics is far better than the xbox version and the gay ass nvidia card

Any game will look better on a decent computer than on a console, due
to the console's fixed resolution/settings and hardware restrictions.
And in the case of Halo, it went from mediocre to slightly better,
although in the time it took for the PC version to come out, the
visuals were already outdated.

And the best visuals in the world still wouldn't help the poor map
design or the godawful gameplay and controls.

One-third of the Xbox owners disagree (the approx tie-in ratio of Halo on
the Xbox).

A superrior controller to the keyboard and mouse combo for FPS's has yet to 
be invented.

Dudes, IMO the keyboard/mouse controls dont do halo justice. I always 
feel like it is very sluggish... Halo Xbox was fun, but only on LAN.
SOF II is da shiznat. I love it at lans. just blowing out someones 
intestine and watching thier reaction is great enough. but right now, 
Call of Duty is what i play. It is so fun, and the killcam rox.

No sweat.  I'm sure if I got spanked with old hard facts like you just did,

Hey, I'm not the one who bought a console because of one game. The PS2
has the superior range of games and the GameCube has the Nintendo
goodness (Zelda, Mario, Metroid, et.al.)
The Xbox has the unwarranted hype, the crappy controllers and, er,
Bill Gates.

Ah well, picture land hockey in an ice rink.  :)

Nobody referring to "hockey" means land hockey. If land hockey's what
they're referring to, they say "land hockey". Hockey *is* ice hockey.

Because after two years you only seem to think Halo is the only game on

No, but it's pretty much the only reason people buy it. Xbox doesn't
really have many exclusive games worth playing.

You don't buy your skin. And you're not born with your console as a
part of you. Yet another misplaced "Racism!!!1112!" comment that tends
to pop out of the woodwork whenever someone runs out of other

Actually, no.

That's why hockey is called hockey and ice hockey is called ice hockey.

("Land hockey" does not exist - neither as a term nor as a sport).

Hah, I don't care what you weird English types call your sports.  :P
Nobody I know means anything other than ice hockey when referring to

Though none of this actually matters in the context of my original

Objection!  Irrelevant use of the word "exclusive" and the prefix "m" on

Yes and no.

Think about it, is own all three consoles any more expensive than owning a
nice PC gaming rig?  I certainly don't think so.

Give me the address of your respondents, and I will chop off your head an
mail it to them to show them what I think about about using slave
messengers.

You can then be free, when they let you go

LOL...
ok, then work hard and pull yourself up by your bootstraps by working all
your life. See if you get rediculously rich that way. Bill Gates is rich
because he was lucky, he was in the right place to steal the right
technology and sell it at the right time to make the most popular OS in the
world. Most people are born into being rich, that's just plain luck there.
Rich people that are actors, or play sports, or are musicians are certainly
lucky to be gifted with talent, and to have been discovered. Being rich
takes luck more than anything.

I think you misunderstood.  My point is that you obviously don't have to be
"rediculously rich" to own all three consoles for gaming.  I paid $800 for
all three.  Is that drastically more expensive than buying a PC for gaming?

It's thinking like that, that keeps you poor and jealous.

Believe it not, some of us normal people don't go around holding grudges
against companies.  I enjoy console gaming, so I bought all the current
systems so I could do that.  I couldn't care any less that Microsoft drives
Mac and Linux users crazy with envy.

Shit, I can't build a decent gaming rig for less than 1200$ unless I start
invoking gh3yness

Still to those with a rent payment and minimum wage jobs, 800$ is a lot.   I
would prefer they were cumulatively 80$

I've never paid $800 for anything related to gaming... My current computer
cost about $400 at the time of its last reassemble which included a new
CPU/Mobo, and new RAM. Before that, a video card cost about $100. I also put
in an extra hard drive which cost $60. Since the other components were
reletively cheap or free, (my Dad got an older monitor from work, and CD-ROM
drives are free after rebate fairly frequently, the case was only $40, and
the PSU was cheaper, mouse was free after rebate, and keyboard was $10) My
computer did cost significantly less than $800. While an AMD Athlon XP 2000+
with 1 GB DDR RAM and a GeForce 3 Ti 200 is by no means a top of the line
box these days, it runs every game I've thrown at it relatively well.

Uh huh... enlighten me then. What is the key to success, mr. omniscient?

Considering that we invented most of them it seems only fair that we get
to decide what they are called.

BTW - it's quite interesting that 2 of your "national sports" are based
on English games normally played by schoolgirls (Hockey & Rounders) and
that the other is a "wussed down" version of the Men's sport of Rugby
football. :-}

Well, I know a hockey player, and I'm sure he'd shake his head in
disbelief over your absurd reasoning.  :P

I'm sure there even existed some raw variation of the game when
walking on two legs had just started catching on with the human race.
That doesn't mean everyone in the world should start referring to the
game as "grrr ook!".

    I dunno.  I think this should be Hockey's new name.  We'll have to be
careful tho, because those dang Cro Magnun's would call it "grr Ok" and try
and supplant the game.

That will be because he's an American and therefore unable to follow a
reasoned argument. (Or because he's an ice hockey player).

>"We invented hitting a puck with sticks, so we're to decide what

That's the way it usually works. Although hockey isn't played with a
puck. ;-}
