Absolutely. And in all honesty I’m not the gamer I used to be- Up to my junior year I played them fairly heavily… I remember days where I spent a good 6-7 hours playing Tribes (and I could still manage that, because that game fucking owns). But then I got a job, started a website, and well, I just haven’t been playing them as much as I used to.

It seems like the only real fun anymore is multiplayer anyways, since interesting story-driven games are rare. And actually, that has some social value as well. Some of the best times I had 2 summers ago were Halo gatherings with friends of mine: Spending 5 or 6 hours kicking back, ripping on each other, laughing our asses off… Good times.

Gotcha. The imaginary friend analogy is quite true, now that I think about it. Still though, I think you could certainly find something better to do. Really, even for the purpose of having more fun. I used to be pretty addicted to GTAIII, actually, but if you stop playing video games for a while, you won’t want to start again. You see that their a waste of time.
I mean really, I always hear older generations (mostly the baby-boomers) talk about all of the crazy things they did as a kid. It’s a lot harder to do things like that now. For one, there are so many more rules and laws and nonsense that make having fun harder. Also though, people just don’t have the interest in doing things like that. They’d rather sit back and vedge.

All I’m saying is, you’re going to want memories when you’re old, something to tell the kids and grandkids. Video games sure as hell aren’t going to supply those for you.

Also, the fact that you can rattle off all of these games lowers you in my opinion. Video games are boring, monotonous. pointless, dull. They serve no purpse. They’re a total waste of time. If you really can’t think of anything better to do than play video games, well… then I’m sorry.

What purpose did playing with an imaginary friend as a child serve? It’s called fun you asshat, there doesn’t have to be a point.

Obviously, seeing and playing violence, does – no, certainly not does, but can – lead to violence.

Good thing I DIDN’T point that out right here:

Actually, the APA found that “showing violent acts without consequences teaches youth that violence is an effective means of resolving conflict. Whereas, seeing pain and suffering as a consequence can inhibit aggressive behavior.”

Come on kids, sing it with me! “Where are the parents, ooooh where are the parents!” Everybody!

You make some decent pionts, and your commentary was funny, but you’re wrong.

Obviously, seeing and playing violence, does – no, certainly not does, but can – lead to violence.
This guy is insane and crazy. He goes way overboard, but still, he isn’t entirely wrong.

Ah, slow and painful deaths… I’ve heard about those, they happen when your manhood starts to shrink at the age of 40 or so.

Haha, awesome writing!

The scary part is that I got confused at first, and thought he was describing a real game. I was like “Holy SHIT what’s it called? I must have it!”

Well, I’m off to throw severed policeman heads in Manhunt and beat up old people in GTA!
