I love this gen. I love HD, I love gaming online, I love all in one media centers, I love epic hollywood experiences, I love Nathan Drake and John (Bo in my case) Shepard, I love emulators, and I love progression. Gaming has never been better for me.
Disregarding my love for this gen I understand others love for the older days where gaming was more niche and only PC gamers really had any semblance of a community. Also I can see why PC gamers would be a little dissilusioned through the past few years, they're not the big boys they used to be.
Also OSX > Windows imo. But that's just because I'm a linux nerd (programming, it's HOT) and OSX is built on Unix which makes sense to me. Windows = proprietary to the core = not my bag.
...Sorry this train of thought was so last page.
