For this individual, he was all about console gaming before he made the transition to join the PC realm.  Zachary Anderson used to be all in with console gaming before he made the switch to PC.  "I played console games for seven years before I switched to PC" says Zach, "PC gaming offers much more of a variety of games and the processors on a PC allow for higher frame rate optimization."  There are services such as Steam that allow users to purchase games directly to their PC hard drives.  Services like these...
