Nope. I left home in my twenties, have always had a girlfriend since my teens and I play sport! Therefore I don't play computers.

:P

The idea of grown men playing computer games I find puzzling at best and disturbing at worst.

Still whatever floats your boat I guess.

I don't understand why people feel the need to take a shit on things they don't understand.

I agree with Stevebrum.  Here Here.  I'd rather look back at my life, on my deathbed and think about all the glorious times I had making things, fixing things, creating things and being creative and fruitlessly masturbating than think of all the levels I've played on someone else's platform.  I see it as a bad addiction, kind of like a 21st century version of a crossword book.  There are so many better things to do in life than kill time.





That's a shame. See now if ever I imagined a doctor recommending GTA as a form of therapy to anyone....

My mums cousin wrote (would
I say coded if I knew jackshit about games?) GTA but I always preferred his work on lemmings.

See, that's where you're missing the point - and it's because you're still stuck in the 20th century definition of gaming. .

1996 in fact.

Ill take a look of the specs for the mac version in a couple months but I'm not hopeful that it will run.  However I'm hoping that one day they port it to the Xbox 1.  

PS.  48 year old gamer and proud.  Married, kids,  and i even go out of the house from time to time.

How many of you non gamers spend on the TV /Facebook/watching movies and posting on here? Just because the media we choose for interaction differs from yours, does not mean it's substandard.
I have a life, play games and guitsr, , I speak to my friends whilst we're all playing the Same game.
Having kids means you can't go out as much.. But I'm sad because I compete with my friends whilst we're all at home? Grow up old men.

Ah, yes. That new-fangled Doom thing's really getting the damn kids of today into worshipping Satan, ain't it?

Do you honestly believe that I think gamers are all single, live at home and can't throw a ball?

I thought the use of the exclamation and smiley might have indicated a bit of humour?

Well I thought it was funny, got a bit touchy there didn't they

No mate... you've quite clearly demonstrated it here. I don't care if you think you were making a tongue in cheek comment. As far as I'm concerned, you made a tongue in arse comment.

Well at least the derailing of this thread (which I apologise for if I'm the main culprit) has allowed you to publicly declar your interest in feltching. If you want to talk about any repressed feelings @drew_fx we are here for you...

Can we please get back to the script?

Anyone played Elite yet?

There is. As I recall, it fell apart and took the MR forum with it

Very much this. I have facebook friends who think it's clever to poke fun at gamers, but then go on to boast about a weekend spent watching 3 seasons of Breaking Bad back to back. Gaming, if anything, is way more interactive and social than zoning out in front of the box, surely

As always, good to hear her analysis
I liked the bit about the white knights, I never really considered the cause of that behaviour pattern before
