i would normally say there is nothing childish about video games, but after a last minute goal cost me the world-cup and i suddenly found a barage of expletives leave my mouth and my controller flying at the x-box and a look from my wife that she normally reserves for naughty children, i thought for a seconed that my behaviour was indeed childish.............but then i rememberd it was the cup final and it was my manly duty to sulk.
Disable the autosave feature or turn off the console before the end of the game.
Then start again, man up, and win that final! It's your manhood what is at stake ðŸ˜

Video Games =
Waste of time.
Waste of money.
Waste of synapses.
Waste of space in the home.
Waste of space in relationships.
Note: the games I'm referring to are the violent type; puzzle games or any game
with a learning focus, or a high mental strain [b]do have value.[/b]
Originally posted by FleabittenI have a friend who likes to get on his high horse when discussing television. He always claims "TV is such a waste of time" like he's some kind of hero when all would do is sit and read books (fiction) all night. What is the difference between wasting your time watching TV and wasting your time reading novels?
Ever watch movies? How about sporting events? Ever gone to a pub/club/bar for a couple of hours? Same difference.
Originally posted by trev33Because you're trying to lump video games into the same catagory as say....model soldeirs, or toy cars.
why do so many 'adults' own and regularly play video games? i thought this was something everyone grew out of, like weekly baths but seemingly i'm mistaken. why so?
Why do people with mobile phones talk on them during dinner out? That's my personal bugbear with modern technology.

At one point all four of the people I had just met found it more interesting to have their eyes affixed to their blackberries then engage in any kind of human discourse with me, my girlfriend or even each other. It was WEIRD and totally made me hate them.

Originally posted by darvlayOne of our first fights was when she took a call during a meal out. We have an agreement now, that only important calls can be answered. It's the height of ignorance in my opinion.
