Your PC Gaming Confessional

by VoltySquirrel » Wed Oct 27, 2010 6:24 pm

So, all week at Kotaku is PC gaming week and I fell its time we all had our sort of retrospective on PCs. Just follow the basic format.
Are you primarily a PC gamer?
What was your first PC game?
Did consoles ever get in the way of your PC gaming?
Best PC gaming memory?
Worst PC Gaming memory?
Which PC-based game series should they bring back?

Me? Well....
Are you primarily a PC gamer?
Sorta kinda. I started out as a heavily console guy, but I've seen the error of my ways and am now trying to play more and buy more games on PC.
What was your first PC game?
Either C&C: Red Alert, Starcraft, or Warcraft II. All three were stellar RTSs.
Did consoles ever get in the way of your PC gaming?
They still do. Halo: Reach and Dead Rising 2 pulled me away for far too long in my honest opinion. I just want to equally love them.
Best PC gaming memory?
One night in a barely alive CS:S server, me and a few other random guys just messed around all night and just hung out. It was a one night event, but it was magic. And we never spoke again. It was just a one time thing. Kind of like when you connect with a stranger on a personal level and never see them again.
Worst PC Gaming memory?
Ackybur is aware of the story. It was the day my brother caused me to break my headset. It was a nightmare. He had left it in the middle of the hallway in the dark for me to step on and break. I'm still pissed.
Which PC-based game series should they bring back?
Tribes. Great FPS, still remember loving every second of it.

Nintendo.

PC, my girl hands can't handle controllers anymore.. :(
What was your first PC game?
It was actually on a floppy disk. It was called Pony Express, and you ran around delivering mail to people, while getting shot at by Indians...I think back to it now and it was pretty racist.
Did consoles ever get in the way of your PC gaming?
Never. Actually I bought an xbox 360 to play a silent hill game, but i got into something on the computer; long story short one year later i sold the xbox
Best PC gaming memory?
I wouldn't call it a game but it was fun. My old computer (back in august) was a heap. So, I put firecrackers in it...pretty awesome
Worst PC Gaming memory?
Accidently deleting my Morrowind game when I was climbing the final mountain...never did beat it.
Which PC-based game series should they bring back?
Ugh I doubt anyone would agree, but I loved Syberia.

I seem to remember playing that actually. It was not half bad for a point-and-click.
