haha, do not resist clicking this link!!! http://twhl.co.za/forums.php?pgt=17&action=viewthread&id=13141&pg=1 that topic it the most amusing thing i have ever read since garfeild! (i was a kid, i don't read those anymore) but, yeah, i would vote ps3. like everyone else said, standing in you're room (or even worse, in you're living room when theres a whole crowd outside staring at you and you don't know about it) dancing or bowling or something else like that is just extremly embarrasing, and, yes, you never know when it might just slip out of your hand (hey, you were swinging the thing around for so long that you are sweating, yet you stupidly think the wii is a great addicting console that you don't want to stop playing) and break your tv AND your remote, and even better, it might even hit someone on the way to the tv. the avertisments were people are dancing or bowling are just stupid. also, i really don't want to start another flame war or anything, but WHY THE HECK DOES STEAM HAVE TO ACCESS THE INTERNET EVERYTIME I TRY TO RUN HALF LIFE 2!? and you wonder why i hate steam... no, i am running in offline mode, no, half life 2 isn't trying to access the internet, steam is... and last but not least, if i deny it, it won't start half life 2. why the heck does valve always say "oh, steam is a GREAT GREAT program! steam keeps your games up to date with the latest patches, fixes and more!"? please allow me to fix this sentence to my liking: oh, steam is a horrible HORRIBLE program! steam keeps you from running half life 2 if you don't let it access the internet! in fact, you HAVE to let it access the internet when you first try it to make sure we get every single detail from your computer like, you're ip address, your full name, your credit card number, your credit card password and more!
oh, we nearly forgot the best part! steam realizes alot of members are saying steam is a pain in the rear end but half life 2 runs perfectly! guess what? steam got mad and lagged half life 2 down to 1 fps, and you can't turn water relections because steam thinks your computer is crappy and can't run anything!
