"They look like crippled computers."
I've been saying for years that the quality of gaming on a computer is better than on a console. Not only is it way cheaper (you already have a PC), and there is way more variety (how many RTS games are there for a console?), but the graphics are better. Always have been, always will be.
Turns out it's not just my opinion. This guy makes essentially the same points, but in a very thorough fashion. Long but entertaining read. He also seems more pissed off by the whole thing than I am.

Two admissions he makes: (1) the Wii might really break the mold, and (2) there is the "couch factor." Those are both valid points. But you know what? My buddies and I get together several times a week and play Warcraft III on our laptops. And it rocks. Can't do that with a console. And would a Wii really convince Yelena to become a gamer? I doubt it.

PS: Actually, Yelena's the one who introduced me to the Monkey Island series. You know what's really hot? Playing four computer games in a row with a beautiful girl, who totally digs it. Sorry, didn't mean to brag . . .
