It is the year 2009. Counter-strike is still counter-strike. Quake is still Quake. Consoles and PC's are still in conflict, when they should be working together. What will it take to make the needed changes?

We are dealing with a world of gamers who want computer assistance. Most people do not have time to master a game. Computer assistance allows people to be good without having to spend time. It is a perfectly good construct, except for professionals.

It is the same with precise controls. Developing the necessary skills to effectively use precision controlling requires time. This is not a problem for professionals.

Consoles are perfectly suited for amateurs, or casual players. Their jobs take up their time, and I would imagine most of them do not want to be professional anyway. Is there any real reason for consoles and PC's to compete?

Some people think pro-gaming success means television. With GTV, run through consoles, it basically is television. It is better than television. It is cheaper and easier to control. The only real downside is the lack of TV commercials. With a payment system, like a monthly fee or pay-per-view, a lack of commercials is irrelevant. At the same time, TV commercials could be achieved through a union of GTV and streaming video. I know i've played games with video cut-scenes.

With consoles and PC's working together, gaming is better for everyone. Publishers can maximize profits. Developers can make games fit for people above the age of 12. Professional players can truly be professional. And casual players can retain their casual ways, and even achieve greater casualness by spectating sometimes.

Like religious Jews and Muslims, we should ally against the common enemy - Christianity. Jesus was ok, but somewhere, things went horribly wrong.

In closing, Christianity is dumb. These people actually believe Jesus walked on water. It is like worshiping Harry Houdini or He-Man. In the immortal words of Martin Luther King, "I'm hungry.".
