10 Most Ridiculous Things Gamers Can't Stop Arguing About

2. PC Gamers

Nice segue, eh?

"Bloody PC gamers, coming round 'ere with their "Graphics Cards" and their "Teraflops"... Thinking they're better than me and my Sega Master System..."

Like King Thranduil openly displaying scorn and derision for the stricken Dwarves of Erebor, PC gamers can be a.... curious bunch.

While a console is fundamentally the same machine on launch day as it is seven to eight years later once it's inevitably replaced by a newer, sexier model, PCs are designed to adapt.

They're meant to be upgraded and modified along the way so as to render even the newest console a relic the day after its release, and damned if some PC gamers won't let us forget it...

Speak to a PC gamer, and it's not about whether or not they enjoyed a game, but how amazingly it ran, what mods they used, how many thousands of pounds worth of tech were shaking the house to its very foundations at the time, how many lowly console gamers they'd coerced into bringing them wine and oysters throughout....

In fairness, there are some ridiculously powerful PCs out there which leave our sad little consoles in the dust, like a Pagani Zonda racing a Granny on a mobility scooter.

It's just jealousy, really.
