    Steam surpasses 9 million concurrent users

    Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't saying that the cost of entry into the world of PC game development was high, but rather that the cost of entry into actually gaming on a PC was high. In order to play Battlefield 3, I needed a higher end computer which was almost twice the cost of a console.

    COD Ghosts

    I don't think too many people liked Ghosts that much, but I could be wrong. I personally didn't enjoy it, and neither did too many of my friends.

    Do you remember you first ever computer console or system?

    I had some kind of factory built computer that my family shared when I was a little kid. I don't even remember the brand so that's sad. But my first personal computer was a Dell brand, then a Toshiba, and now it's custom built.

    I'm glad to see that PC gaming is getting more popular. I just wish the cost of entry to PC gaming wasn't as high.

    What do you guys snack on while gaming?

    Usually I eat popcorn if I eat anything at all. I don't really snack while gaming. I find it to be too big of a distraction.

    What happened to the "Free Weekend weekends" Steam was supposed to offer?

    Maybe I should start reading the news more, because I haven't heard anything about this. My guess is their just trying to line up games for these weekends.

    Do you trade in old games or sell them?

    I used to always trade them in because I'd be looking to get new games to replace them, but that's just me.

    What is the very first video game you remember playing...

    My first addicting PC game was Pinball that came installed on older versions of Windows. My first video game in general was probably a Mario game that I would play at my grandma's house, or possibly Tetris.

    What game stands the test of time?

    I really like Global Offensive, although I do agree with you about an appeal of old school Counter Strike. I feel like Counter Strike has a stereotype of being an "old" game, and so Global Offensive doesn't quite feel right.

    Making Your Own Games

    I keep trying. I usually implement some basic features but give up once I get burned out with that. I think I just bite off more than I can chew.

    75,000 fans sign petition for Modern Warfare 2 remake

    I'd definitely play a remade MW2, because it was probably my favorite game in the series. It would make me so happy to see it remade on a modern engine.

    Dying Light

    I've been debating getting Dying Light for a while, but since I don't have any friends that are also interested in getting it, I think I might hold off for a while.

    Do you prefer the pc version of games over the console?

    I agree, PC shooters are so much easier and precise than their console versions. I know in the CoD franchise, PC doesn't have the auto aim feature, so its always fun to watch people who come from console play on a PC.

    Have Games taught you anything?

    There might be some various historic facts I've picked up from playing games, but I can't think of any concepts I've picked up on. I will say that they've probably had a big impact on my hand-eye coordination.

    What game stands the test of time?

    Having a smart phone really changed gaming for me. I mean, it can have so many handheld emulators, so you can pretty much play any old games.
