For the social (non-competitive) aspect of PvP, this is really cool. Sure, it's highly likely that PC gamers will have a distinct edge over console gamers (higher framerates, better response time for peripherals, etc.), but for the social aspect it's great. In my case, for example, I have...

As pleb as it may seem, I had the most fun playing Civilization: Revolution, on the Xbox 360. This was mostly because I had friends who also had the game so we played together, but it was fun none the less. On the other hand, my best individual playing experience is definitely with Civ V.

I like to think that device and platform exclusivity are making their way out the door. Windows is actively trying to make a universal platform across all fronts (desktop, mobile, console) and I hope that others will take suit. Sure, you have the problem of a monopolized environment, but...

We'll see what the benchmarks say. If the 1070 doesn't provide "maxed out" performance at 1440p, I don't see the reason to upgrade from the 970. The 970/390 are the 1080p golden boys right now, and if the 1070 doesn't bump it up to 1440p, I don't think it's a worthwhile investment (for those...

Can I just get a hammer if I win nothing else?

See if Mattel actually produced those hoverboards we were promised! Next I would hoard every teddy bear I found, because that's normal, right?

As far as authenticity goes for zombies, I've gotta go with Dead Rising (well, at least they are authentic to start).Slow, clumsy, fun to kill. Favorite zombies by far. I guess the Plants vs Zombies zeds fit the bill as well.
