The use of "reasonable doubt" as a standard requirement in the Western justice system originated in medieval England.[citation needed] In English common law prior to the "reasonable doubt" standard, passing judgment in criminal trials had severe religious repercussions for jurors. According to judicial law prior to the 1780s: "the Juryman who finds any other person guilty, is liable to the Vengeance of God upon his Family and Trade, Body and Soul, in this world and that to come."[2] It was also believed "In every case of doubt, where one’s salvation is in peril, one must always take the safer way.... A judge who is in doubt must refuse to judge."[2] It was in reaction to these "religious fears"[2] that "reasonable doubt" was introduced in the late 18th century to English common law, thereby allowing jurors to more easily convict. Therefore the original use of the "reasonable doubt" standard was opposite to its modern use of limiting a juror's ability to convict.

PC's and their games often have compatibility issues with many of those available options, though. For instance, you can buy a controller that you can USB to your computer, but most games don't tend to recognize them.Console games are just about always compatible and stable, as well as more convenient and simple. PC has options, but they're rarely options that even heavy gamers like myself couldn't do without.
Almost every game I have on Steam can use a 360 controller. Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with the keyboard. In fact, for many games it is objectively superior (Dragon Age, for example).
You mentioned how PC games are inherently more buggy. This is false. In fact, the PC versions of Skyrim and Fallout: New Vegas are much better than the PS3 versions, and arguably more than the 360 versions. In fact, the PS3 versions are notorious for playthroughs getting slower/having their frame rate tank the longer you play them. Bugginess tends to be more indicative of the quality of the game rather than the medium you are using to play it. Generally the only things you have to be wary of are ports of games not originally made for PC (like Deadly Premonition's terrible PC port for example). Even then, usually a single patch can be downloaded to fix it (like what I did for Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth).
Simpler? Sure, but I don't see that as a defense tbh. I like being able to modify my experience.
More convenient? Dude, I have two hundred games on my PC whose disc I don't have to worry about keeping track of, because it's all downloaded. Discs can be broken, and not always through any fault of your own. Even if my PC is broken, upon replacing it my games will still be there in the Steam cloud/my GOG account. Furthermore, my PC can be used for far more things as well. A gaming PC is definitely a better PC than the Xbone or PS4, no matter how hard the latter try to emulate the former.
Oh Tempest btw, Dark Rendezvous is pretty cool so far. At first I nearly killed myself when the first page had a pretty egregious example of a comma splice [as well as the really weird decision to narrate most of the story in past tense (which is fine and normal), but then narrate a flashback in present tense], but it's calmed the **** down. Dooku and Yoda are ballers, and I find myself interested in how their meeting will turn out. I'm hoping for old man sex.

Keep me informed as to your thoughts. It's definitely the best Star Wars book imo.

do u know if the x360 port of "shadows of mordor" is worth my money?
Originally posted by ZampanóI haven't played it myself, but some sites have told me that the game's "Nemesis System" is not implemented 100% on PS3 or the 360. I'd recommend steering clear of it for that reason alone to be honest. The Nemesis System is easily the most interesting and probably innovative aspect of the game, so to be stuck with a less complete version is sort of shitty. This is admittedly old news and I'm not sure if it's still accurate, but I'd be wary.
