Understood. For what it's worth: Activision regards the PC as an archaic vestige of the 20th century, and contracts out their CoD games to be simply "ported" from their console versions. DICE has a massive passion for PC gaming, which is why the PC version has 3D stereographic support, GPU-based PhysX, Motion blur, high framerate, etc. In the past, console vs PC gaming wasn't very different, but things have been changing a lot in the last couple years. Still, consoles deliver EXCELLENT value for the money, and there's something wicked cool about playing an FPS like BF3 or CoD on a 60" HDTV :)

I am currently playing Fallen Earth (think Fallout 3 for MMPORPG).
My callsign: I think you know it!

Interesting, my brother LOVED Fallen Earth and wrote several mods for it. I guess he was well known for some of his work. As a person in the game development industry, I tend to look at games with a critical eye. My experience playing Fallen Earth was that the developers got together and said, "Let's make the WORST MMO evar!" and each developer took it as a personal challenge to outdo each other in horribleness. I'm sure you don't feel that way (I know my brother didn't), but I think in many cases, video games are like sausage and laws. You shouldn't watch any of the three being made

I really want to get Battlefield 3, but I need a graphics card upgrade to do so. And I'm trying to save money for an AR build...decisions decisions.

Not that you want to hear this, but...my "regular" job is at NVIDIA, so the graphics card problem was already solved for me. My 6.5 Grendel AR upper should get here next week

As a former employee at the Xbox group in Microsoft, you'd _think_ that I spend some serious time on the Xbox, but not anymore. Too much "real life" these days - like shooting at an IDPA match yesterday :) I also play a LOT more PC games than Xbox, just because of the overall superior experience for a lot of the newer games (BF3 is a blast -- you can find me on there as LetsKillDave).

In the past I played MMOs a lot too, but my new FFL business has (happily) refocused me.

Nowadays, I use my Xbox for Kinect-based exercise stuff or playing my drum kit on Rock Band 1/2/3/etc. My "rule" these days is that the Xbox's job is to get me off my butt and make me move when it's too hot/cold to do things outside (and have fun dong it )
