so John console or pc pc so you like
0:03
spending XX amounts of money on a clearly inferior platform
0:12
well Corsair's h80i GT and h100i GTX
0:16
all-in-one liquid coolers improve both the appearance and cooling of your PC
0:20
click now to learn more all right guys I'm here with Rafel asking the age-old
0:24
question console or pc pc or console console or pc pc or console console or
0:29
PC uh console or pc pc used used to be
0:32
console but PC obviously PC definitely PC PC PC console or pc pc pc definitely
0:40
that was really fast pc pc so you're both picking PC a lot of people have
0:44
picked PC today which makes literally no sense why PC it's amazing you can
0:49
upgrade it later on on the road aome more game options I think it's better
0:54
because you could customize it a hell out more than a console you you don't get to customize
0:59
anything I I can customize my PlayStation I can put skins on it make
1:03
it look different cuz it makes it go fast Stripes right it does that's that's
1:06
a proven scientific thing screenshots what I don't care why would I need
1:10
screenshots if I'm going to show my friend something I'll bring them over I
1:14
know the PC players are like not that social but like I have friends that will
1:17
come to my house they can see my screen I don't need to screenshot faster better
1:20
performance why would you want better performance human and I can't see above 24 FPS why do you want more performance
1:25
on your on your PC do you know what kind of processor is in your Xbox a good one
1:29
well I can tell you that mine's the i7 quadcore 2600 K that's cool you just had
1:33
a whole bunch of numbers that I don't care about I could have I could have a Jiu-Jitsu 4,820 Q in my Xbox I don't
1:39
know what the crap is in my Xbox why do I care well not necessarily
1:43
because know Ubisoft at or resolution as
1:47
the gods at Ubisoft has told us in the past is literally just a number so
1:50
there's no point in even bringing up performance in terms of resolution at all that's why stuff like Watch Dogs is
1:54
running at 792p on Xbox is because whatever that's a weird number but
1:58
that's cool who cares it's just it's fun resolution is just a number it is just a
2:03
number but it makes everything look nicer makes everything I totally don't
2:06
agree but whatever oh okay so you're saying that FPS doesn't matter so you
2:11
close your eyes well FPS does matter you don't want it to be too high oh too high
2:15
too high is a problem okay it's like golf scores when it comes to FPS would
2:18
you rather have 120 or Lord of the Rings
2:22
has proven to us that 48 versus 24 24 wins I went to go see The Hobbit in both
2:26
different frame rates 24 FPS was better so why would I want more I think we can
2:31
both agree that The Hobbit wasn't that great of a movie
2:34
anyway okay touche everything about PC
2:38
just blows consoles out of the water for example like it's cost so you just enjoy
2:42
money leaving your wallet for no good reason yes you guys are Overkill PC so
2:47
you obviously spend way too much money on your PCS personally but we have like
2:51
$700 PCS that run just as good as an X actually a lot better you might as well
2:55
just throw out the window cuz it it sucks throw out the window you you're talking about your computer your console
3:00
I would never you know the difference between good and bad yeah I'm good
3:04
consoles are good you're bad PCS are bad my PlayStation's pretty small how big is
3:08
your computer valid
3:11
point lonus doing a video who's lonus
3:15

3:18
really I mean I worship him I I pray to him every night I know you guys like
3:22
worship gabin and this list dude and stuff like we don't have these weird
3:26
Cults we can just enjoy gaming without worshiping and spending our time
3:30
fantasizing over these weird figures these short little people so there's a
3:33
lot of really cool exclusives on Console why would you go to PC uh flexibility if
3:39
uh if I can build flexibility to not have cool exclusives no I don't know
3:44
Titanfall Destiny which you don't have Halo which you don't have uh Last of Us

4:43
Source are all your friends also console plebs yes do you hate resolution as well
4:48
