Who DOESN'T own a video game player?

RCMerchant · March 16, 2018, 09:27:52 PM

I have NEVER owned a video game player. I bought my kids Playstations and X Boxes-but I have never owned one. In fact-the only games I know how to play are the ones I bought my kids back in the '90's- Crash Bandicoot,Driver, the first Resident Evil, a couple driving car ones,...that's it.

I reckon I'm a dinosaur.

I don't own a gaming engine currently, I do all my gaming on the PC.
But I have been a video game junkie ever since PACMAN came out in the 80's! LOL

I don't see any good in it.
My son Eddie was addicted to that s**t. He didn't do his school work-nothing. I threw it in the garbage. And the guy who lived upstairs was 23 years old that he played with, They started smoking that bath salts-f**k that. Eddie ended up in the hospital.
He was p**sed.
I don't care I pulled a knife on that f**ker -I got Eddie clean. Video games are a drug,in the wrong hands.

I don't like video games. Kids should be outside playing-not glued to a TV set.

Mahong is old school.
I love chess,myself. And I was hooked on RISK for a long time!

But I played that with my kids-so it wasn't an alienating thing-it was a board game w all played as a family.

Not me. I'm a proud, goose stepping, black boot shod, swastika wearing, tohtenkopf adorned, seig heiling member of the PC master race.

(And NO, I do NOT goose step, wear swastikas, have a tohtenkopf or say seig heil unless in mockery. I'm just mocking the consele morons who coined the term ''PC master race'' to throw at people who don't use consoles.)

Sven- I don;t got nothing against folks who play video games. I-personally- have no use for them. If you like'm-groovy. Seem like a waste of time when kids could be interacting in the REAL world.

i don't either, my BFF and his girlfriend are world of tanks fanatics. and he's always had consoles, i used to enjoy watching him play doom in particular, darn good monsters! just not my style, and i KNOW i'm addictive with certain things. i get that way with books and tv too,binging just isn't that healthy for me. so i try to keep it to a minimum.

it was a board game w all played as a family.

We do board game nights ever so often. Always fun. Occasionally we'll do an allnighter retro/arcade games on my nephew's ps4. It's always interesting to see younger generations reacting to games we older ones grew up with

Got a PS3, but that is only really used as a DVD player rather than a games console.

Raffine · March 17, 2018, 07:19:39 AM

I had a PONG game as a kid. My granny Frank could beat everybody she played.

That's about it.

On a related note, the original Deus Ex was the best computer game. Ever made.

Rev. Powell · March 17, 2018, 11:53:08 AM

The family had an Atari 1600 growing up (and PONG before that), but I've never owned a dedicated game machine since PCs came around, or seen a reason to get one. Every game I'm interested in playing is available for PC.

I've played a few games at other people's houses and had fun, but it's not something I see myself spending money on.

Have a 2600, followed the Gameboy line till the GBA, love the PSX & PS2, Wii & Wii U are fun, but I rarely get time to play any of it. The Gameboy line would probably be the ones Ive gotten the most use of over the years; I could play 'em anywhere.

Computer games are fun too. Till recently consoles were easier to set up than PCs, but modern console games need to be installed/patched like PC games. Today I see no real advantage for new consoles. Classics, however, I can still enjoy.

Would love to rip the hard disk out of a PC & sell it as a console, but it would take a billion dollars to support it.

Who DOESN'T own a video game player?
