What Games Are You Playing?

[Seven Eleven]

each to his (or her) own, i say.

exactly. we don't come to a football game and tell everyone to get a life, and do away with that silliness? Most of it just involve kicking, kicking and yet more kicking. What a state of mind to get into.

All this fuss about games seems so sad to me. My sons step son has now moved out of the house and gone to live with his father, because his mother wanted him to spend less time on these games. The moment he gets out of bed in the morning his thumbs are going non stop. Likewise as soon as he gets home from school. Total addiction.

I play crown green bowls in the summer, and one of our team is twelve years old, he also plays cricket. In the winter he plays football. He is very slim, lively and intelligent. His younger brother is a fat little slob, who's thumbs are also going non stop. His mother who is also a first rate bowler brings them both to the green. The young one just sits in the club house with his game, never watches or wants to join in. He too is totally addicted.

For heavens sake why don't some of you get a life, and do away with these games? Most of them just involve killing, killing and yet more killing. What a state of mind to get into.

You say that from what you have seem, most are addicted, yes. But you shouldn't categorize all who play games by this one fat, asinine imbecile you have seen...

I'm a rather thin person, get superb grades, do well on tests and, perhaps, a "bit" intelligent. I have no claim over my intelligence, but I value it.

I do my homework before any games, I don't own a console, only a PC. I'm not an addict, it's what I do and plan to do that, being on a computer, for my career.

I show respect others and know my duties, I'm no slob and I hate wasting time.

Therefore, おじさん, you must know a little about the rest of the group... meaning, us, before you think of us as fat slobs who don't care about intelligence.

Good day

so by this definition everyone that plays computer games are fat, dull and dumb?

For heavens sake why don't some of you get a life, and do away with these games? Most of them just involve killing, killing and yet more killing. What a state of mind to get into.

seriously, you come into Gaming forum and talk like this? :sarc:

I didn't say that. I expressed a personal opinion that these games are addictive and that some people can see no further than the next game. Sad really, there is so much more to life than killing, killing and yet more killing.

I am probably as old as you are and yet you (as well as myself sometimes) are forgetting that we grew up with Bugs Bunny and alike in the theaters and those cartoons were extremely violent. The coyote was always trying to kill the roadrunner. I do not believe that I turned out violent but I sure loved going to the movies and watching violent cartoons.

Plus we were dealing with war in a way that the wars of today cannot compare. Now it is all on TV and it does not affect us, kids just say eh it is a war “who cares”, but in those days we had to do without because things were needed for the war. War was on our parents minds it was in our lives. But again we did not grow up killing people even thought REAL killing people was all around us growing up.

Just my 2 cents. I was only trying to remind myself that many times everyone has some type of violence in their life. Now-a-days it is games, back then it was real war.

There are a lot more games than just the ones where killing is involved (racing, puzzles, flying etc).

You expressed your opinion which, as distorted as it may be, you have every right to do that. But it seems as if you purposely came into the "gaming" section of this forum with the intent on starting a confrontation. Please refrain from doing so in the future. KTHXBAI

Edit: oh ya BTW I am currently playing Black Ops, Just Cause 2 & BFBC2 :roflmao:

 

[andsome]

Well, I enjoyed that brief trip away from games. Loosen up folks, you take yourselves far too seriously.

it's good that we've got an ignore list in our control panels.

Different strokes for different folks. While I'm not all that much of a fan of the FPS, I certainly love racing games. An addiction no matter what it is is never good and it's up to each individual to take it upon themselves to break the addiction. Personally, for a time I was somewhat addicted to games though at the time I wasn't all that overweight. I then one day stepped back and evaluated my life and saw that quite frankly, I was doing nothing productive. One day, I decided to clean myself up and instead of just playing games after going to college, to instead get a full time job. Once I did that, I had so little time for gaming (though I had the craving), I simply didn't do it. Eventually, the craving went away and now, although I do game every so often, it's not a craving, it's more of a regular pass time, like a hobby of mine.

It's up to each person to take control of their lives and break any addiction they may have. If gaming becomes your life, then you may need to reevaluate your life if it's detrimental to your health but as said before, just because some gamers are obsessed doesn't mean all are, some of us are much more casual than others. Killing, killing, killing? Hey, that's when I go play games like Sonic Unleashed, NFS ProStreet, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy, and others that don't really do that and are more cartoonish or have nothing to do with any type of jumping or killing. As is often and truthfully said, anything and everything in too great a quantity is bad, all in moderation is good.

Speaking of gaming, I have gone back to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and it's a fun game to play again. Also wanting to go back to Team Fortress 2 after about 2 and a half years of not playing it but I need to get a new hard drive before I can do that, very little space left!

Ah yes, I must get back to the Enrichment Center, where they believe that if at first you don't succeed, you fail.

I'm going to treat myself for Christmas an Aperture Science shirt from the Valve Store...

I loved that game so much, I played it through my entire Saturday and I mean the entire day. Following the next day too.

This game was incredible, couldn't get away from the screen, the game play was simple and fun, the story was epic, and the ending was one of the best I have seen.

My friends and I played L4D A LOT and we couldn't wait for L4D2. I loved 2 when it first came out and played it constantly. But we keep going back to 1. I can't put my finger on it as to why (maybe the nostalgia of the original) but any new add-on campaign that comes out for the original we play (there are some really good ones). LOVED "The sacrifice".

[sygnus21]

Currently boring myself to death with Fallout New Vegas. God what a buggy boring mess of a game. And this is coming from someone who couldn't get enough of Fallout 3

 

[mickey megabyte]

you still playing that?

currently enjoying vietnam, and replaying mass effect 2 as a badass mofo for those quieter times...

i'm really looking forward to a decent new strategy game...i do like to think too, occasionally.
