Yup this pretty much sums up every argument console gamers could ever have. The only reasons console gamers ever give me as to why they don't like PC gaming are usually ones based off of misinformation or just straight up incorrect bullshit.

That is to say, they have no argument. There is literally no reason to play a console over a PC. If you can afford to play on consoles then you can afford a good PC because console gaming is actually more expensive over time.

It is no longer the 'cheap' alternative it used to be.

All true... I guess PCs are better but being on a mouse for so long hurts my wrists!

That's why you need good wrist support. Either positioning the height of your chair so your arm is elevated above your mouse or buying a wrist bean bag will help a ton. It also goes without saying that a proper computer chair MUST have armrests.

That applies to all computing, not just gaming. It's a must if you want to use a computer comfortably at all.

I've been using a computer for many years and can attest to that as being true. It's not just about gaming. If you spend any good deal of time on the computer, you are likely to get stress on specific points of the hands and body.

For that reason, i don't use a traditional computer set up. I have my computer set up at one end of a couch so i can lounge how i want and it's way less stressful on my body/hands as i'm computing. The pressure on my hands is MUCH less than it would be if i had my hands up on the table.

Last time, i did that, the entire left hand lost sensation along the side and i almost lost use of my hand for typing. Took a very long time to recover. I'm all better now, both hands back to full capacity and i can type very fast again. That was four years ago.

Now i baby my hands and don't push them.

See I don't mind anyone being a console gamer as long as I can be a PC gamer. I have tried both sides of the war and found myself to enjoy PC gaming more than I do console gaming. Console gamers have a tendency to be hostile towards me because they think I will judge them on what they enjoy. PC gamers also need to learn that all because they don't want to do that doesn't mean you should judge. Back off, play WoW or whatever is your poison and let everyone be happy.

To me, for gaming purposes, I prefer a console over a PC. I like to play on a bigger screen or play with my friends via multiplayer options.
I also want my PC for internet and office purposes only.

Can't you get a big screen for your computer? Or, is it just the preference for consoles that makes you feel that way? And, yes, multi-player option rocks.

Yes you can. I use my 1080p LCD 32" for my monitor and it rocks! I can't tell the difference between using a keyboard and mouse as preferred to a controller. I mean it's easier for myself but that's not the case for everyone. If you have Steam or XFire then you can use that and join in the game they are apart of as long as you have the game much like Xbox Live or PSN.

Kinda hard for my eyes. LOL. I previously tried using a 21" LCd monitor and I can't take the view of the screen.
