Posted May 15, 2013 I liked using my mouse and keyboard a bit more. I felt for shooters I was being hindered greatly with the use of the controller. Plus if I wanted the controller experience I can always purchase one. I currently have a n64 controller for the pc, PS2 controller for the PC, as well as a xbox wireless controller for the PC.

Posted May 16, 2013 I grew up playing games on pc and console. When I was a teenager I pretty much stopped playing consoles and only played pc.

Posted May 17, 2013 My dad and my uncles owned gaming PC's, so I grew up with them and have always gamed on a PC. Really, the thing that got me playing any sort of video games in general was Starcraft. I played through the campaign when I was three or four years old (okay so maybe I was a little young) and I loved it SO MUCH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 17, 2013 World of Warcraft when I was like 11 haha Same here. I was a console kid until I got a free copy WoW and 60 day time card about 6 months after it released from a game party give away. At the time I was 16 and had no computer so I installed it on my parents computer which was a crappy dell with a Pentium 4 and integrated graphics. I knew nothing about computers at the time and played at about 5-10 fps with everything on minimum for a couple months. That got me started on researching how to build a better a computer for WoW and I have been building computers ever since. Dropped the WoW a long time ago (before Lich King came out) but kept all the skills I learned from reading forums and watching youtube videos on computers and tech.

Posted May 17, 2013 I started playing games like Warcraft 3 and CS 1.6 and soon found them super addicting.

Posted May 17, 2013 Games in general. Got NES Famicom and older PC with lots of sharewares recommended by family friend and cousins. Had fun with those and 3 years younger brother to play with. Also found RuneScape around 2001 that way. That was first community game for me and pretty much reason to move esports later. To FPS and esports. Tested CS and BF42 demo. Had fun and got friends over net. BF2 was hit for me and I wanted to get on real clan. Then it was just rolling. ^^^^ That's my post ^^^^ <-- This is me --- That's your scrollbar --> vvvv Who's there? vvvv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 17, 2013 i got in to the pc thanks to the star wars franchise, mainly because of star wars battlefront, it was either on ps2 or pc, and i did not have a ps2, so i played on an older dell E4800 laptop. now I have a fully fledged pc, running a phenom II x4 and a radeon HD 6770 (saving up for a 7870).

Posted May 17, 2013 I did play cs 1.6 and Warcraft 3. I also played Roller Coaster Tycoon. My entire school life except college(where I am right now) has been xbox,xbox 360, pretty much a lot of consoles. But then I realized college, and I did not bring those consoles with me. I converted to PC gaming thanks to my cheap build I made in Jan. Steam sales are a blessing for gaming. Filled up a entire library under the cost of 2 full priced xbox 360 games. Then I went to AMD Fan Day this year in April and upgraded my custom pc again. I may only play my console for exclusives.

Posted May 17, 2013 For me it was all about the keyboard and mouse setup while playing FPS games. so much more accurate than a controller especially if u use very low sens like me with the kb/m. but what i dont like about PC FPS gaming and perhaps overall PC gaming is that at least to me it seems to competitive. when u do too good people may call you a hacker. badmins that rage will kick or even ban you even if u dont hack. in console it kind of is a good thing that games dont have in game chat channels(fps games) because u can control your anger(if u rage like me lol) and u wont write stupid stuff haha. but anyway i think i might reduce pc gaming a bit and get back to "sit and relax comfy and not competitive ps3 gaming".

Posted May 17, 2013 Just bought my first laptop at the age of 15 and I had broken a bone in my knee, so I started playing GTA San Andreas, later Cod2 and then I was addicted. It's funny because that's how some CS pros became...well pros. for example Spawn and HeatoN both suffered an injury in sports(spawn in soccer,heaton in hockey) and while they were recovering they didnt play any sports and just kept playing cs. and then they got addicted and then with practice they became pr0s. heheh BLAOW!!!!
