Hey forum people: How come when you press enter it puts an extra space in between? The forum didn't use to do that. Having it double spaced make a forum post longer than it needs to be.

I've seen it do that for...probably more than a year.
You can get it to only do a single space by hitting shift+enter, if that's what you're after.

Ooh ME! Just built it too, and it is awesome! Plus an HD Radeon 4870 (soon to be 2)

But, I'm still a console gamer by heart. I couldn't decide between the systems if they made me choose. I own Wii, 360, DS and psp. All the systems have advantages and dis. PC's are still awesome too.

hold shift and press enter.   That is also how you DO go down a space in most instant messaging programs (rather than just send, which is if you press enter alone.)

alternatively you could go into the HTML and remove the <p> or move the </p>

Definately PC for me. I don't own a console and don't plan to. But then I only play a few games, still I prefer to play on a PC.

Thanks for the help. Using bullet points makes it more readable, though.

I have a low end i7, and I like it. It makes Windows think that there EIGHT cores going. Loads Vista really fast, too. The main thing that makes the i7 so fast is that all four cores are directly connected together. The Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Extreme were essentially Core 2 Duos hooked together.

Another console disadvantage is that a lot of garbage comes out on those systems (I'm looking at you, Nintendo Wii!)

List updated.

If any of you have any advantages/disadvantages that I didn't put up, put them in a reply and I will put them in the list.

Both have their places. I play some games such as Ace Combat, Force Unleashed, and Halo 3. (Great when you don't get the annoying people.)

But when it comes right down to it, I'm a PC gamer.

PC Pro: Online is generally free. Console con: XBox Live has set up the trend of gouging gamer's eyes for payent, and nobody seems to mind. I wouldn't have XBox Live Gold if I didn't catch an Amazon sale for 13 months card at something like $15 and free shipping.

The only reason I owned consoles was for party games, but my friends and I don't play them much these days.

I've been building PCs and playing games on them since 1993 or so. To this day, it's my favorite hobby. Thankfully, there are still some studios out there that understand what makes PC gaming great. (Looking at you, Stardock.) Despite being portrayed as graphics whores, PC gamers, I think, really appreciate the oldies but goodies. Lots of active communities for Fallout 1&2, T.A., SimCity 4 ... you name it. Hell, I can still find full servers for most FPS games of note from the last 10 years. That's another thing: the PC gaming community is awesome. A more mature playerbase (still plenty of newbs and llamas out there, don't get me wrong), modders, forum posters, etc. etc.

I do have to thank Nintendo for getting me into videogames in the first place with the lovely NES. (Hence the Bullet Bill avatar.)

Viruses and Spyware ain't a problem if you have decent software, I have the most recent free avg anti-virus edition and works well, and have a spyware blocker that was fee that came with the computer, and of course keeping you computer up to date on patches keeps them intact very well, I have never had virus problems in years.

Console disavatage if there is a glitch on the game, they can't patch, on a pc they patch glitches and other problems or give added bonuses to the game

also console can have hardware failues but are very rare, only when the console gets old die, my friends wii cd drive flaked out.

im pretty sure they are able to patch games up on concsoles now because of the internet capabilites. a few games have alrdy had patches available for downloading. theyre even able to add features or improve on existing features in games through these downloadable contents.

yeah they can patch console games now- but if you have no internet, you can't just burn it to a disk somewhere else. though DRM seems to try to stop you doing that, wich seems resonably fair.

but you can still get patches without the internet through magazines etc. for a lot of games.

i would be a pc gamer if it wasn't for halo. as thats the game i actually play most, but i tend to play pc games more than other xbox games.

also for pc it is more portable, without losing some of the variety (as hand held games consoles do) through laptops.

Id add also:

Many PC game have somekind of toolset or editor where you can create mods and custom skins and stuff.

PC, PC and PC !!!!!!

The PC port of GTA IV is an extreme example of this. The GTA fanbase has been protesting against Rockstar.

I say like Yahtzee. The PCgaming master race against the poor consoleplaying peasants

I'd say that the biggest reason people play consoles is because they are lazy and/or not as intelligent or smart as PC gamers. F.e. I got a friend that's slightly retarded (he's childish, slow and say dumb things) and he got every console there is but he only got a laptop in the PC department. And the excuse he came up with when explaining why he wouldn't get a PC...."my girlfriend would break up with me" <-- I thought it was the time you spent on consoles, not how many you have.

I was a consolegamer until 1999 when I finally got my first PC (was 16 then). I had seen my classmates LANs where they played Red Alert, Quake and Duke Nukem 3D and had to admit that my Nintendo 64 and Playstation could not match PC games. PC games were also free (yeah I know) compared to consolegames which you had to pay alot for (add to this my stupid refusal to buy used games....).
