I don't tolerate much from large companies any longer.. I was on the fence with the one here in the city due to their good games seemingly always in a state of disrepair, unconcerned staff, obnoxious heathen kids, etc.

Being a true gamer, I look for things like levels, bonuses, etc. that reward with tokens or digital avatars... The Gold Card was a cool like token, but now everyone has the standard card - what's the point? There's only so much time I can spend shooting hoops, raking tokens or dropping pucks on to little circles... Most of their other arcade games are a little stale and like 5 variations of the same game... I'm not a DDR person either, so those don't really do much for me..

I'm a very competitive gamer... I sunk nearly 2,000.00 on a new rig just to play a 50.00 game.

Eh... I absolutely see your side of it as I used to spend a TON of time at the one downtown. I always went in the later hours due to the whining brats. Large corps. are always going to look for the best revenue generator possible. That's how they stay on top. I tend to share the "your dollar is your vote" mentality as well. I was recently at the one in addison and a lot of games were out amongst another issue we had with a staff member. However, there still exists friendly staff. Overall, I still enjoyed myself.

It's been almost 2 yrs now.. but, at the time it was:

2x 64GB SSD (1 for OS / 1 for Game)
2x 1TB in RAID1
2x 500GB in RAID1
i7-920 OC'd 20% w/ upgraded cooling system
Sapphire ATI 5850HD Vid Card
6GB DDR3
Windows 7 64bit

and some other things... Pretty average now, but it was smoking fast when I first got it.

Mass Effect 2 was why I purchased it.

ohhh i was hoping you where gonna say TG5 and you got some mac daddy racing seat setup... looking for feedback on racing seat and wheel rigs for the BF for Christmas possibly....

I tried GT5 -- sucked... hell, I even bought the damn PS3 for that game.. What a waste.. It's too real-life for the input.

I liked NFS:Shift and NFS:Hot Pursuit.. Those were fun and doable with the xBox controls.

I've seen all the racing extras, but could never get a clear consensus on them -- and, since I know what it feels like in a real car, I'm very, very picky on them. For me -- when it's too real, it's just irritating because I can't feel the car and that's a lot of it for me.. Being able to feel movement in the car correctly through the steering, body and shifting is a big deal -- along with the g-force.. That's all missing on racing games.

I'm more of an RPG or FPSRPG type gamer.. I like the ones where I become the character, have moral choices to deal with, etc. Deus Ex, Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls, etc. Those are the games I love most. Games where I can't just pick up some rocket launcher and immediately know how to use it.
