Slightly bizarre to me that the current intel vs amd debate usually seems around intel wiping the floor with amd on performance in games.

Man, I feel like I'm this big ball of contradictions. XD It's like I can't decide if I'm with the pirates or the content creators. I will say this though; I don't mind paying for things that I enjoy. I do however mind having to deal with DRM in order to do so. That's why sites like GoG.com are …
