Well, we got back from vacation and it was as if I had not left so things are not as dismal as they seem. Time to get back into the swing of Strategy Browser Gaming.
Ultimately, in Tribal Wars the Tribe I was in totally disbanded and is now spread out among any number of different old and new tribes. We will see how long this lasts since I got into a pretty small tribe.
Console Gaming
I went to the local Game Stop tonight looking for new meat(Wii games) and decided to get Resident Evil 4 and one of the Rayman games. The control of a Wii is slightly better than the xbox and playstations for aiming but it still cannot compare to a good mouse and keyboard.
My years playing doom up to Half Life spoiled me for any game on a console that uses any aiming system. They are nowhere close to as good or as responsive. I can remember doing jumps from platforms spinning 180 degrees shooting someone in the head on the level below me and then shooting someone directly below me in a split second in Quake3 without breaking a sweat and that would not even be possible in any of the new console shooters.
Even at the highest sensitivity the best pc gamer could clean house against the best console gamer in halo or whatever. That would be an interesting tournament to watch actually. I hereby patent the idea of console vs pc shooter tournament.
