I'd like to get into PC gaming but my current PC (that i'm typing this out on) takes 6 & a half minutes to turn on. Yes 6 minutes 30 seconds just to turn on. That should give you some idea of how old it is. Noisy too, it's like having a mini hoover on.

I have a metric fuckton of PC games simply because I didn't grow up with consoles, sadly. My parents had a strong aversion to them and my elder brother thought they were a complete waste of time, as opposed to the PC's ability to do anything.
So for the most part I own a lot of PC games compared to say about 10 or 20 console games. I grew up with things like Bedlam, Starcraft, MechCommander and MechWarrior, Total Annihilation, Time Commando, and the old Red Alerts, as well as some Red Faction games.
And Command and Conquer Generals. Just about my favorite RTS of all time, bar Total Annihilation.
These days though now that I have a huge library of emulators and an xbox 360 and a Wii (which my parents won off a raffle about 2 years back and cba using so they gave it to me
), I've diversified and explored some of the good old console games. But with Australian retail prices continuing to skyrocket, I've had to turn to buying things online, especially Steam.
On Steam alone, I have:
Assassin's Creed
Borderlands
Brink
Dead Space
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Deus Ex: GOTY
Dragon Age II
Neverwinter Nights 2: Platinum
Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter
Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter
Rainbow Six: Vegas 2
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
I also have The Witcher 2 which I got (uncensored yeee) from GOG.com, but I haven't finished the first game yet.
Also I have the two Mass Effect games hardcopy, Every The Sims game not incl. Sims 3, as well as SimCity 4 Deluxe (Maxis' opus magnum of SimCity games) and the two Modern Warfare games.
As for my preference, I do kinda prefer PC for things like shooters and RPGs. Not to say that I won't play a shooter anywhere else: I sort of pride myself on being able to pick up nearly any game on any platform and have a bloody good time with it if the game lets me so, but I just think the movement of a keyboard and mouse is far more intuitive than any controller's d-pad or c-stick, especially for shooters.

I've discussed this many times in the past, but I consider myself, primarily, a console gamer. I've always enjoyed that the machine will always run any games for it and you don't have to worry about it.
That said, there are two types of games that I damn near refuse to play on consoles: Strategy, and western-style RPGs. Maybe I would include shooters if I was any good at them or enjoyed them, but I'm not and I don't.
Now strategy games, (either RTS or Civ-style) I'm more or less unshakable on. It just doesn't work on consoles. MAYBE there's a way to do it, but frankly its just not worth the extra effort for innovative systems when it works so well on a computer.
Western style RPGs I'm less firm on because I know they can and have been done successfully on consoles, I just personally prefer them on PC
As opposed to the menu-driven system and minimal input commands of JRPGs, they were work beautifully on consoles. But the amount of information juggling and ability activations etc. involved in most western RPGs makes them more conducive to PCs, imo. Yes you can format it out to be reasonably intuitive on a controller, but I'd much rather just have it all at my fingertips with a mouse and keyboard. And, yes, when you do have a decent machine (one of which I just obtained
) games do look magnificent 
(Flight/Space sims are also better on PC, I think, but I don't play them nearly as often.)

haha, I love how a thread started by a bot is getting actual, real discussion.
As for me, I play Wow. I've dabbled in TF2, and have downloaded Portal, though. I just need to find my mouse.
But I haven't really logged on to WoW in a while. I hope my guild hasn't kicked me.
