FPS and games like C&C i prefer to play on the PC.

Just cant do the whole move with one analogue stick and aim with the other.

*Nods* joypads are a bit sucky for FPS, although Unreal on PS3 lets you plug a keyboard & mouse in :)

Perhaps it's because I've never used a PC but I really cant understand how moving 2 sticks is any harder than using the mouse and various keyboard buttons?

Its the accuracy and speed of aiming and looking with a mouse, then you just need your front and back, straft left and right keys. I use to hate medal of honour on the PS2 as every time you got shot you lost your target.

The mouse is much MUCH MUCH MUUUUCH faster than an analogue stick! Far more accurate too.
There was a game where PC & consoles could play online together, the console owners were annihilated constantly, almost to a laughable level. Keyboard and mouse is the de facto method for FPS, end of - joypads and FPS are just a bit of a fudge TBH, can still be fun though from what I've experienced.

I love it lol. I just wouldnt feel comfortable with a mouse and keyboard.

I'm sure there's a mouse on Play.com for the Ps3?

Speaking of nerds and PCs.

Guy next to me has just bought a hugely spec'd Alienware PC, looking at the spec I would think at least £3k

He already has one he paid about that for but it went wrong, instead of fixing it he bought another one.

3k is abit to much IMO unless they use it for some series stuff and not just games and internet. 1k will get you an awesome gaming pc. I only spent £400 on mine and it runs any game i throw at it including crysis (on medium settings)

He reckons this'll probably play it on full.

I've seen Alienware stuff before and it's pretty high end gear. His is liquid cooled and sound proofed lol. Sounds like a car engine bay.
I wonder if it's power is measured in BHP lol?

A decent liquid cool setup will cost you £500+, i spent ages and quite abit of money to get mine near silent as it doubles as a HTPC.

I'm a little shy lol, spending a weekend with near strangers isnt my cuppa tea.


You should come. Surely we are not strangers to you? :shocked:

Bring your mates or your girlfriend, don't worry we'll make you feel welcome... as anyone will tell you i'm a social animal. :tongue:

My pc is self built, parts bought from overclockers uk.

Cost me a tad over 900 quid about a year ago, Runs every game i've thrown at it on max settings, It's never struggled ever.

3K on a pc is very much over kill but if thats his vice...... good on him.

Tbh, I think it's more about being able to say he has the best PC than anything. He'll tell you till his blue in the face that it gets used to the full potential but no one believes him.

Lauren, I've not met many people here so yeah, mostly all strangers in a way.
