If you’ve never witnessed a group of people in WoW take on Sunwell and Black Temple then you’re missing out on some of the most skilled gameplay seen in our time. Sure, we’re not playing FPS games as much, so maybe we can’t click directly on the 2 pixels that would have equaled a players head in the past, but now we have much more thinking to do. It involves situational awareness, a solid lag free machine, planning, coordination and timing, and making sure the other 24 people in the group are every bit at skilled as you are.

PC gaming isn’t dead. It will not die until the graphics card vendors quit making cards, and even then we would turn to playing MUDDs like my brother does now. As for the glory days? Depends on who you ask, take a look at the people overseas who are foaming at the mouth for Starcraft 2 because they are still running SC1 tournaments for large cash prizes to this day, I’m pretty certain they consider themselves hardcore.
