It's several, actually.  It combines Diacritical Marks (U+0300 - U+036F), Greek and Coptic (U+0370 - U+3FF) and Cyrillic (U+0400 - U+04FF).

Have I said how much I hated console ports? I'm sure I did, but I must say that again.

I want pc exclusive games, but I doubt I will get any.

Dwarf Fortress is a pretty much PC-exclusive game. Of course there's the multi-OS support with the new merge but YOU CANNOT PLAY DWARF FORTRESS ON A FUCKIN' XBOX or anything. This is what makes PCs better.

I was referring to 'modern' games, as in, the new non-indie games coming out.

Dumbed down gameplay, thats it man my best game are either from indies or from oldies ( Abandonware ) been hell of a time i dont buy game anymore i download them using crack and all why? the day they will make a game that REALLY worth it gameplay wise i will buy it. Beside that f.off.

Dumbed down gameplay give it 10 year give or take, we will have virtual reality platformed mario bros, wow what a breaktrough...... Come on give me some real challenge, i miss the time where i was using my head and not my god damn thumb smashing the same old button.... Thats what i love with indie, they dont spend 4 year developing visual, 6 month on gameplay and 6 month on QA. They go straight to gameplay and then bug fix. THATS the good cow.

I think they should focus more on games that teach you how to communicate using effective spelling and grammar.

Probably because you do not dislike console games. I have a PC as a gaming system because I, of course, do not like console games and I really don't want to be limited to stupid control methods that are most evident on windows live games, ie, most xbox 360 games ported to pc.

I think he's talking more about the way menu's are implimented (Oblivion and fallout 3 for example), and games that only let you hotkey 4 things because thats how many you can hotkey to a D-pad.

I haven't actually run into this issue, at least not in the past 2-3 years (I did have this issue with Fable, I recall). What games does this include?

I think Fallout 3 and Oblivion were ported to the Xbox 360, and not the other way around. The menu system wasn't that alien to me as a primarily PC gamer.

Lololol.  Some games made for the XBawks don't have that.

Some examples:
1) Borderlands has no voice control options (why?  because it's a cross-platform executable that runs on the XBawks and the PS3 and god everything else too)

2) Lost Planet (the first one) displays all of your new controls as an XBawks controller.  You cannot change the controls without first exiting the campaign.  Also: all menus are escaped by the B key, because the B button on the XBawks controller does this.  THIS CANNOT BE CHANGED EVER.  There are no other "back" buttons.  A also advances, but the left mouse (thankfully) can do that too.
