Ergot is a liar

[rabbit]

He isn't asian.


Hell, he's not even American.

Not-Asian Proof:

(4:02:37 AM) me: matsuno is making a new rpg for wii :D
(4:02:47 AM) Ergot: yea?
(4:02:51 AM) Ergot: who's matsuno :o?
(4:03:09 AM) me: he made vagrant story and ffxii
(4:04:24 AM) Ergot: uhh
(4:04:29 AM) Ergot: never heard of the first one
(4:04:32 AM) Ergot: don't play the second one

Not-American Proof:

(4:06:45 AM) Ergot: I never owned a console before the Wii

He's not asian because he doesn't play crappy games? :|

[dark_drake]

You haven't necessarily proven he's not Asian. You have proven, though, that he's definitely not Japanese.  ::)

[Ergot]

Wabbit is just jealous of my ethnic background.

They aren't crappy to asians.

You haven't necessarily proven he's not Asian. You have proven, though, that he's definitely not Japanese.  ::)

Difference = none

[Chavo]

Meh, I've never owned a console of any kind either.  PC games are better for everything but parties and the nice thing about parties is I'm not the only one there :P

I wouldn't go that far. How long of a lifespan does a console have? 3-4 years. How long does your "top-of-the-line" rig stay top-of-the-line before you have to upgrade parts in it? You'll end up spending way more on upgrades than you will on consoles. :P

So what you're saying is that for something to be "better", it necessarily has to be cheaper? I disagree.

No. To me, it has to have some lasting value. A console will last longer than a top-of-the-line videocard. Sure, it'll work in five years, but good luck playing any games that come out. On a console, this isn't an issue.

No... that's the same issue. Have you tried playing GoW on the Xbox? How about the up coming Halo 3?

[while1]

So I guess I'm not American.  Since my parents deprived me of owning a console as a child.  I guess I'm not really Korean either since I've never played FFXII or Vagrant Story.

What the fuck am I then?

[Sidoh]

I think you guys are taking this way too seriously.

[deadly7]

IT'S OK, I'M NOT INDIAN.  I'M ACTUALLY PAKISTANI.

The XBox? Or the XBox 360? I've played it on the 360. Looks fantastic.

Again, I mentioned they have a lifespan of about 3-4 years, just like the original XBox did. Eventually you'll be forced to upgrade. But the upgrade for the consoles (minus PS2 -> PS3 :P) are relatively cheap and last longer than it would for a PC.

Oh yeah, and if you want to play some old games, you can bust out the older console and play them. Can't say the same for old PC games, most DOS games hardly work on anything XP and above. ;(

First-gen XBox

I thought you were saying how that the advantage of a console is that it will last 5 years? Remember that?

Way to contradict yourself. I'll say yea, they are cheap for only XBox -> 360. (Wii doesn't count the actual hardware improvement is minimal). I can't say that it would last longer than it would for a PC though.

Oh yea, and if you want to play some old computer game, you can just bust out the old computer and play them. See, you're not playing to old Atari games on the 360 are you? Why talk about DOS games on XP... (Though I thought you highly praised Vista, lol the irony).
