To be honest Zeta the threads title and the original post content basically implied that this discussion was to be classic oriented. It wasn't that hard to figure it out, but you just kinda went on this tangent about FPS games and killing arabs and crap, implying that's all COD games are about, when in fact they are not. The worst part is you don't really even know what is currently popular and being played on pc, you just assume its only some COD title about killing arabs and Farmville or World of Warcraft. I don't know anyone who plays f*cking Farmville or WOW, and the only person who I know that plays The Sims is my daughter.
You dismiss modern pc gaming right off the bat simply because in your opinion if its not a 8-16 bit throwback digital download game then its not "cool". Before you get all judgmental and assuming about what current pc gamers play, maybe you need to join some pc gaming/hardware sites/forums like Guru3d, HardOCP, or Tomshardware and actually READ about what others play. Maybe then you will have a leg to stand on in this kind of discussion.
I can see how you would pine for the days of old, like Sam and Max Hit the Road, etc, but to be honest Pc gaming has matured a lot since the days of the cut and dry 486 computer systems being sold at retail. The major focus now is not just point and klik role play and graphic adventures, but driving and complicated flight sims, mech combat, fps (like Tribes, COD, Bioshock, Crysis, Quake Wars, etc) and RTS games. If you'd have even bothered to look at the pics I posted you'd clearly see there is a vast mix of titles covering many genres, most of which are very popular titles for pc, or were upon their original release, and that's not even all the stuff I own, or even a solid representation of the huge variety of titles on the market.
Some pc nay sayers say pc gaming has been on a decline, but sales on both digital and physical media have been strong lately, and Pc currently enjoys better versions of most games released to console, along with many titles exclusive to pc only. If you don't like modern gaming in general, then yeah current pc gaming will have nothing to offer you, but that doesn't mean it actually is on the decline, it just doesn't suit you personally anymore is all.
Also, Herc was making a point that you tend to get focused on crap like anti-war and anti-government rants and crap and you get carried away and make stupid statements or get into arguments about it. In all fairness, you do do this, and you also constantly try to argue a point that you clearly must know is wrong, that most no one in their right mind agrees with, simply because it seems you don't know how to admit when you are wrong or whatever or simply because you are trying to imply "I'm smarter and better then everyone else here" or are trying to be different just for the sake of doing so.
