    I don't know why I bother with telling you what you're missing. If you have ever mainlined a PC FPS vs a console FPS, you'd know what I'm talking about. Go ahead and try it on your jugular, under your eyes, between your toes, nothing works for console FPS. Hell, you can't even get a high off a simple freebasing. Now, PC FPS, you catch a whiff of that on your friend and you're tripping balls for three, maybe four hours. You're also a much more rabid asshole as you're not physically in the same room as your opponent. So when you do frag him, you respond all hardcore with "n00bfag gtfo my server nao, btch" unlike the casual console response of "nice shot, man!"

    PC FPS? Hell yeah, I shower in that shit.

    As for education, it's the only way to go. Uneducation is for casual gamers. If you had a clue, you'd know that you need to spend four or five hours a day reading forums and studying FAQs/guides of the game before you even set foot on the servers. If you do, we don't have time for you climbing the learning curve.

    Don't even get me started on washed vs unwashed masses.
