The "playing consoles is more comfortable than pc" is a flawed argumen

[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"]

The Effects of Computer Use on Eye Health and Vision American

From a Government and University study.

I'm not saying PC gaming is bad, but there are some halth risks associated with it. But Hermits are going to deny this and take it like I insulted their mothers because that's what their PC's are for them. They are the most overly sensitive group on here.

I would say I am a victim since my eyesight did go bad enough to require corrective lenses. The problem is, my eyes already started to go bad before I ever owned a computer. Most of my gaming back then was on the arcades, Atari VGS/2600, and Intellivision. By the time I touched a computer, the damage was already done.

Couch and controller are more comfy then chair and mouse/keyboard. I know you can play PC from couch with controller *IN THEORY*, but most PC games aren't designed for that type of play and are inferior/impossible to play. Civ 4 springs to mind.locopatho

As i said before its subjective, my very comfy computer chair is just as comfortable as my couch and i play both from my computer chair the majority of the time.

It has nothing to do with whether or not you can play a PC from a couch, since a couch isn't the only comfortable form of seating.

The problem is that some people make it look as if couches are the most comfortable things by default and PC chairs are uncomfortable by default. When the truth is that just some couches and chairs are really comfortable. Also it's ridiculous to argue about a very open system like a PC and try to limit it to a chair.

nope.

GTFO...just accept that gamers prefer consoles TOO! Gsus sick of these threads. soapandbubbles

Well I'm sick of the PC bashing threads, the ammount of false information is infuriating!

But what about games that aren' RTS and MMOs? Obviously if you play games that can actually operate well with a controller, I find it strange that you bring up a type of genre that is barely on consoles and barely played as a defense, if people treat their PC like a console games wise then theyll find plenty of games with controller support.

And that is a fact.

first of all: PC chairs arent bad to sit on, they arent uncomfortable for your ass unless its a chair from the 80s or something like that, and barely anyone ever sits laying back on a couch/chair. most people sit and bend forward so that their backs are not laying against the back of the chair/couch. while in this bent position, you rest your arms/elbows in the desktop, which is good because that way your spine doesnt need to support the whole weight of your body like it does in a couch. you are distributing weight more evenly.

as for laying in the bed...dont even get me started, playing on a bed is extremely uncomfortable and in less than 10 minutes you'll be changing position because you'll actually start feeling discomfort, it takes much more effort to lift your neck and bend your torso a bit (which is the position you are on while playing on a bed) than just sitting in a COMFORTABLE chair with most of your body weight resting in other place.

the argument is flawed consolites, stop using it.

lightleggy

Think about your argument. In order to get comfortable playing with a PC, you need to go out and spend even more money on something because you can't just game on a couch or chair unless it's a laptop. With a console. if you're not comfortable, you can get up and move somewhere else.

Also, leaning forward is actually WORSE for your spine. It bends it in an unusual position for extended periods of time.

So spending $40-$50 on a decent computer chair (this price is normal even armless chairs these days) is expensive when a couch cost way more then that do?

Ever had your mates over to play PC? no, its stupid/difficult too much trouble, only hard core geeks would be interested

Ever had your mates over to play xbox/ps3? yes, easiest thing in the world even for amateurs.

Not only are pc's uncomfortable, they are designed for social outcasts

consoles win,give up.

Well, you do have a point. I could argue sitting on the floor, but that's kind of uncomfortable unless you do it all the time.

Most of my friends are married with families. Most have their guard up because being the family man, they have to set the example which can take its toll. When you gather a bunch of them together, they let down their guard down and do the obnoxious things us guys do like belching and farting and just plain being rowdy. I honestly wouldn't want them next to me especially when one has a specially noxious fart. One will even point his bums at me and let loose.

Do I really want these guys next to me? Nah. I rather have them in a LAN-fest where each one or two has a room to set up their PCs on. I'm also more individualistic. The last time I wanted friends next to me was when I was a teen. When I was single and had my own pad, I didn't want anyone trashing it. Even my kid is showing the same trend. Before, she and her friends were always gathered around in the family room. Now, they prefer their own rooms and their own stuff.

1. Yes I have Lans pretty much every weekend. Whoever wants to come along just brings their PC. Most of them have laptops, so its not that hard. Even a desktop takes 5 mins to set up.

2. No. Its actually more complicated and difficult to set up for consoles. Especially if you have more than 4 people. You need to organise controllers, TVs, Xbox live accounts (Cause I only know like 1 person with a PS3), guest accounts yaddah yaddah yaddah.

Then there is the quality of gameplay when playing 4 person split screen. Laggy gameplay with especially bad graphics on a tiny screen with others around it doing the same thing. Whereas on Pc everyone has their own space and own screen. Much better.

Mate 1) Hi mate, you want to play fifa?

Mate 2) Yes.

Mate1) Here you go *hands over controller*

Youre assuming all gamers play FPS. What you if you like sports games? no chance in hell my mates will bring over their friggen computer to play it over lan lol let alonehave them all sitaround my computer desk.

PC's are designed for social outcasts. I take it you are one.

I actually feel much more comfortable playing on my PC than playing my console. I don't need to change position in front of my PC, while on my couch, after a while, I will typically start moving around, wiggling...

I suppose it all depends on your personal furniture. My living room's furniture was bought and set up around the idea of watching films. Whereas I bought my PC furniture keeping in mind that it had to be super comfy for gaming.

I keep falling asleep on my couch ;)
