This.

 

Last video games I played were Space Invaders and Asteroids.

 

Nobody plays football in the streets anymore. Or off-the-wall baseball. Or manhunt! WTF, you couldn't get me in the house when I was a kid. It took a rainstorm or dying of thirst to get me in the house.

Me too. But when we were kids, our friends weren't going missing and then found stuffed in recycling bins. It's the age of the play date, Ray.

I agree. Times are very different now

This thread is proof why America is so fat...LOL

I love video games. I play them all the time (even as I'm writing this). I'm not fat. I also play football, basketball, and hockey. Usually 2 of those a week. America is fat because we can't moderate. Video games have nothing to do with that.

I'm a PC FPS addict, I started in '98 with Quake II, then Counter Strike, BF 1942, BF2, BF2 Project Reality Mod and am currently paying BF3 and MOH Warfighter (not as good as BF3). There is something about playing FPS online that is addictive, I can't get into regular, linear gameplay, it has to be online against 30-60 other people. Any other PC BF3 players here?

yup. There are a couple of us. I'm getting halo for Xbox when my Internet is restored. Jackdawack -Xbox live. Jackthewack -origin ea

This. Try not feeding your kid Wendy's and McDonald's 4 or 5x a week

And guns kill people.

what makes you think someone cant enjoy video games and still play sports on a regular basis?

manhunt? i played that 12 or 13 years ago. i was outside a lot when i was younger, but i've ALWAYS hated sports. really can't stand them and i don't care what anyone on here has to say about it. i'm really sick of people saying to pick up a football or baseball, just because you like it doesn't mean everyone else does.

 

if that wasn't enough to kill it all for me, my previous boss was a huge philadelphia fan. all the teams. this was the only time in my life that i followed sports because if the eagles or the phillys or the flyers lost you knew you were having a bad day at work the next day. i can't beleive people get so involved in that crap that they let it affect their life.

 

i'm not trying to be jerk here, but i'm just sick of hearing about sports and how they're so cool.

 

all that being said, YEAH i love video games. PC fps, survival horror, RPG... and these three dreaded words:

 

world. of. warcraft.

 

and THAT being said, i also don't have the time to play all that often anymore, wife/son/work all come first.

stop playing Nintendo and pick up a football or basketball

 

dare i say? this coming from the guy with 12,783 posts. HAHA sorry i had to, no ill will is intended in this post or the last, just had to vent that out a little lol.

Yes. I love BF3 on the PC. I've been playing the battlefield series since BF1942 (which was just released on Origin for free). I have also been playing Medal of Honor but its not nearly as good as BF3. I am also into strategy games like Civilization and Europa Universalis.

Civilization is awesome.

Totally agree! I built my own pc and really enjoy pc games! A console simply cannot come close! Do you have a Steam Handle?

Scidad23 on Xbox live. Playing halo 4 and waiting for next week for some zombie killin in black ops 2

WOrld of tanks time to time

Currently trying to play Resident Evil 6 but havent spent much time on it to get hooked. Before that I started playing Prototype 2 but never finished it. Havent played a game that's really grabbed me in a while.

Ahh Steam. I cant remember my log in info

I'ma t the 21 month mark for severe schedule alteration. In the last month I have been able to get more gaming time, but not much. So I tend to stick with things that let me game in small chunks. LAtely it ahs been pressing the lever for the Borderlands2 flavored food pellet.

This is the only thing I can do on the computer. And I wasn't trying to say athletes are the beez kneez. I hate professional sports, but I appreciate school yard games, stickball or tennis or whatever.

 

My point is, get off your ars and motivate yourself.

my apologies, sir. most people who make the pick up a foot ball comment are the ones who go crazy for pro sports. i've got nothing against being active - sports just aren't the way i would go. bike riding, weights etc. admittedly i am not nearly as active as i should be, i've got every excuse in the book lol.

agreed

 

and is shooting considered exercise?

i think there's lots of exercise in shooting. you exercise your rights when you do it. you exercise your wallet cause you want more guns. you exercise your mind when you try to interperate jerseys crazy laws. lol, plenty of exercise in shooting

Love steam....great cheap or free games.

Yes they were. The news just didn't condense a world of misery into 7 minutes. They didn't do ratings for news programs, and they were programmed mroe locally and had less stories. So at best you got a handful of bad news that was nearby, and a handful of news that was bad and national.

 

It's pretty rare for abductions to happen that are not custodial interference. Period. The only thing that has genuinely gotten more dnagerous for kids since I was a child (and people older than me too), has been traffic. There are a LOT more cars on the roads with a lot more distractions while they are driving. That and maybe STDs for your teenagers. The infection rate on some has passed certain tipping points, and for the (formerly) treatable ones, you are seeing a lot of drug resistant strains pop up.

Halo 4 arrived.... party time!

XB3 tag is

i crazykilla18

halo 4

Ill add some of you guys later to play halo. Just don't mess up my games I've been on fire. DRoACULA

Fios sucks been waiting all week for them to show up. Rescheduled 4 times now.

 

What do gamers need motivation for? Why do people think we're fat assed hermits? Sorry I don't like sports. But that's really irrelevant. I don't sit around all day playing games. Kids need parents not motivation. They have misguided motivation.

as sad as this sounds i was sponsored for halo 2 back in the day lol.
