I put my computer through enough drama with poser and other 3d apps (also on a Mac)... with a console it's a dedicated machine that performs well at a reasonable price, a huge library, and a controller scheme that I'm more comfortable with. I remember back in the day PC gamers would always slam console gamers with things like "yeah, the graphics suck". Don't think that is the case any longer, most PC titles are ported to console now and frequently with improvements and additional content (the Witcher 2; Assassin of Kings is a sterling example)... PC gamers have plenty to be defensive about. One advantage I see to PC gaming is the modding that can be done, that's about it.

I've been having the craving to play Skyrim again too, Eric... I have a high level vampire character so the DLC is particularly interesting.
