Where's the PC love?

I am a PC gamer.  Yes, I do own all the consoles but I spend more time on PC than anything else.  Games include, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, WoW, Left 4 Dead, Battlefield 2, Team Fortress 2 and more.  In my mind, the mouse and keyboard is far superior than the controller for movement and accuracy.  This is why a lot of people are against cross platform servers (PC vs 360 etc).  The people with the controllers whine about keyboards being overpowered and they would just get owned.  Why not just make it so mouse and keyboards work the consoles.  I know the PS3 does support this to a degree but the 360 doesn't support it at all. This way everyone can have a fair chance. (console people could buy a keyboard to keep up or they can keep their mouths shut)  I've been gaming with a mouse and keyboard for years and I'd prefer not have to re-teach myself how to play games with a controller, as I'm sure its the same way with console players.  I should be able to use a M&K on any console with no problem,  I mean heck, people can plug in a controller to the PC and it works fine. So why not the other way around?

Secondly, where are all the PC tourneys?!  I don't know how many times I hear about  CoD tourney, go and research it and it's ONLY 360.  It's  almost like the other platforms don't exist.  Ps3 gets left out a lot also.  I realize that PC gaming is harder to keep up with due to having to upgrade every few years and most people think its more expensive than a console but if you really think about it, consoles come out about every 5 years and you pay 500-600 bucks for the newest ones when they first release.  If you know how to build PCs you can build a top of the line PC for nearly the same price, maybe even less.

As for me, I can NOT stand the people on xbox live.  How many 13 year olds do I have listen to saying "oh, your mom!" or "omg, i'm gonna teabag you!".  It just gets old, it's immature and just plain annoying.  I find that there are MANY more mature PC gamers (with maybe the exception of WoW but that's a completely different subject).  Even Ps3 is more mature.

PC gamers unite!  Thank you to companies like Valve, Infinity Ward and Blizzard for keeping PC gaming alive.  I really support companies that support me!  Valve has even created a system called Steam where we can just download select games to our computers without even leaving the house, plus keeping in contact with all your friends.  I would say its the xbox live of the PC world as well as Xfire.

That is all!
