So if somone who looks jsut like the description of someone who robbed your neighbors house is now walking in your neighborhood, and appears to be casing houses, you would just let him walk on by, for fear of being called racist? Sure ok.
Reports from Martins girlfriend on the phone have the conversation down to martin asking why he was being followed, followed by Zimmerman asking "what are you doing here"
Except it has been reported by many eyewitnesses that he did not in fact chase him down, but was himself chased, and then beaten. If im getting my head slammed on a kerb by some nut, hes going to get shot. End of story.
What people constantly fail to point out is that in the past year, Zimmerman's neighborhood had been robbed 8 times by somone described as a "young black male." I would have called the cops to.
The advantage there is being able to play against more than just my few friends in the room. IDK about you, but my friends get burnt out on fighting games after about an hour or so, especially if there is one person who is obviously better than everyone else (usually the person who owns the game).
Before internet matchamking for fighting games was introduced, only the few who went to tournaments or frequented arcades really cared about fighting games past the first few hours of figuring out who you are good with, then the game got tossed into the box with the other games that come out once in a blue moon. Now more people are becoming "hardcore" fighting game fans because they dont have to worry about leaving their friends in the dust. The argument could be made that they could buy it and get better themselves but that renders your point moot.
In the long run PC gaming is cheaper than console. While console gamers are gearing up for their next $600 console, PC gamers can just keep using current hardware to play new games. Also right out of the gate PC games are $10 cheaper, not taking into account that some games were purchased in online sales for $10-$15.
Unfortunately for consoles, split-screen multiplayer is a dying breed. Even though you can have 4 controllers connected to the system, unless you are playing an older game or something off of Xbox live arcade, you can generally now only have 2 or so play together, and for the sake of more profit im sure future consoles will kill that as well.
The main reason that the PC is doing better is that the development companies dont have to make expensive we-lose-our-ass-on-each-sale hardware every 5 years. All they have to do is pop some new parts in the dev machines every 2-3.
Same goes for the consumer. The last time I spent 300+ on PC parts (the cost of a new console by a very modest estimate) My purchase Included one of the most expensive parts to buy, a new monitor. And even then, it isnt NECCISARY to upgrade all that often, I know people who game on PC who havent upgraded in 6+ years.
Then we have Things like steam sales, and if you are patient with your gaming, you can come away smelling like a rose most of the time. That one game you kinda wanted to try 6 months ago but never gort around to it? if it was good, you are looking at $30, not so good? $5-$10.
The videogame hobby as a whole, is cheaper for the consumer on the PC

Right because he just punched himself in the nose to make the kid look bad! GJ case closed.
Its clear your mind is made up ,and no evidence that contradicts your mind will be accepted, have a nice day!
Because the police describing him as "bleeding from the back of the head and nose" isnt an account in favor of his story at all right?
It might help, if you read the police report I posted, that had the police describing him as "bleeding from the back of the head and nose"

Its hardly noticeaable to me, once in a blue moon somone lags out. Apparently its not something to worry about.

I played Tribes 2 online with people just the other day. Thats totally is less than 6 months old right?
Either that or my 4 hour session while my internet was being worked on was all in my head.

No profit in that. You wont want to buy other games if you are satisfied with what you have, at least thats their reasoning.
