Post Reply New Topic

i could never get into them for some reason in my teenage years and young adulthood. i used to play alot of nintendo the old stuff when i was little but gradually i lost intrest and then when i picked up the paddle again later on i totally sucked at it. i dont like computer games either.

heretic!

Yeah, I am losing interest now too (just as it seems like the hobby is getting more mainstream credibility oh well) I wouldn't think twice about it, just follow your interests and maybe someday you'll hear about some new game that sucks up your time again.

Im not into gaming much at all. I hate to lose, and I do often, so, its not very much fun. I have to many other things on my mind to bother playing video-computer games. I liked them when I was a kid, but, guess I grew out of them. If I do find a game I like i tire of it quickly and move on to better things

Heretics everywhere! :-p

Yeah, I played nintendo once in a while till I was about 12. Then, I stopped and never touched it again. It didn't engage me at all, or hold my attention. Ditto for computer games.

It boggles my mind to see some of my NT aquaintances who are 30 y/o playing computer games for hours and getting such a big kick out of it. I get this irrepressible image of baboons fascinated by a mirror... I can't believe they're not embarrassed with themselves...

My doctor told me I might want to play some first-person shoot'em-up games to help with reflexes and hand-eye coordination. I told him I could shoot five for five in skeet shooting, so there was no problemswith hand-eye coordination. That's my kind of DUCK HUNT--the real thing!

i don't either, elk.

so ner to the rest of you.

I've gone through a few periods in my life when I played some game a lot, but I quickly tire of them. I used to get quite frustrated as well, and it seemed so silly to get all worked up over a game.

Well see I do think games can be intellectually stimulating, and sometimes I think that some games will become considered an 'art form' just like many of the more sophisticated movies are nowadays. Playing games doesn't make you stupid if you have the common sense to use moderation in your playing time.

I am quite interested in the future of gaming.
Neuro/biofeedback, virtual reality etc. There is so much potential.

what i dont get is whats the point of playing video games to win the game? uh pass the time? it just doesnt rub me right. i do however like board games like chess and whatnot

I don't like video games, either...books and movies all the way!!

Depends on the game really... you're talking about like a single-player game you go through on your own? The point of that is to experience a story, but ideally a really good game will put you in the story in such a way that you feel you are living it, the games I obsess about are the ones that really fully immerse me in their world and story (as opposed to a book or movie where you are observing the story, in a good game you are living the story)

Good games like that are few and far between though, most games are mostly about passing the time, which is why I've been losing interest lately... I just don't have any time left to pass anymore!

whats the point in reading or watching TV or watching a movie???

i dont know! maybe you dont have to interact as much with those as you do playing video games?

Interaction is bad?
Does not compute.
