Why yes, i am as a matter of fact. I do not find playing games anywhere near as entertaining as i did when i was younger. I would much rather shoot real guns, drive real cars and shit.

Fuck games, send them home.

i got over games at one stage, but i got back into em a month later.

i dont game heaps, only in weekends and on fridays, for like..2hrs.

Last nite i was playing some freeware online fps, Combat Arms, i forgot how fun it was, played for about 3hrs till 1am :eek:

i think i'll start taking my ds to uni again, play some castlevania and/or pokemon on the train trip.

i have like 30 ps2 games that i never play anymore when i used to play them every day and they are just boring now. Even new games are gay and the whole idea of games bores me when it is much more fun to actually get out and do stuff than play a poor simulation of it lol.

games cost as much as ammunition plus the gun laws in australia are SHIT.
fuck why did the cops in the civilian world confiscate our semi-automatic rifle in 1980?
all i have is the fucking scope.
sif a bolt action rifle is enough to take out a dozen pack of oncoming lebs.
so fuck this.

end thread.

but my knifes can procure me many things.

if you need a semi auto rifle you are doing it wrong.


I dont know, games in general, not just ones that simulate stuff that is unlikely to happen irl like car racing etc, are boring and shit and a huge waste of money

there's just some things u cant do irl.

u really feel a sort of satisfaction when u can pull of a number of headshots, or parry a sword strike and slice someone's throat, or run along a wall and lop of someone's head (referring to shooters, assassins creed, prince of persia).

haha, yea true, its still awesome to watch!

for me playing a game is like watching a movie, except you're controlling the action (allbeit by pressing buttons).
I find action movies like the Bourne series, Troy, Gladiator, etc, really awesome because, altho im just sitting there and staring at a screen, its entertaining to watch the action happen.

Although i admit going hunting irl with actual rifles would be extremely awesome too.

yea i agree, that kinda stuff is shit.

I play games because of their storyline, but others, like the occasional need for speed or online shooter, are just fun i guess.

especially online shooters that involve teamwork.

I used to play and online MMORPG, though now I only long on once every month or so, primarily just so the account doesn't get deleted.

As for consoles, I'll occasionally get something like THPS or Tekken out. Mainly just for some late night drunk battles with friends. Although in the past few days I've been replaying Sly 2.

The fact that cats can shoot them from windows makes me aprehensive about shooting them, or even walking outside of my house.

Unrelated: Nice avatar Silent Sniper. ;)
