It would appear I suck at video games

[puddlemonkey]

i played contra and my thumbs went to work and put in the cheat code before i even had the chance to think. now that was fucking strange!

Considering the speed you process thoughts, not really.

wanna have fun with video games today?

start playing that shit online. It'll be almost as addicting as warcraft. I play halo 3 regulary - back in the day, I rarely ventured outside and leave my counterstrike on xbox live.

Got myself a PS3 today when I got my TV. (gift card for production at work made the PS3 a wash puds and bill. you assholes) So I bought Modern Warfare 2 and I keep dying. I haven't played video games for 5 years to be honest, and my friend kept giving me shit for not being some stupid nerdvirgin ninja with the controller. I do have to say I'm impressed with video games now. I may become fat and antisocial like puddlemonkey and 75th and play some more of these things.

wtf

 

[puddlemonkey]

wtf

Sad he called you fat and antisocial or sad he lumped you with me?

 

[jnevin]

what games did you used to like

Mostly driving games, shooting games, and Tiger Woods Golf. I was never good at the fighting ones. My brother would have me dead in seconds when we'd play Mortal Combat. If I'd actually win he'd be livid because I was just pushing buttons randomly.

Put it on easy diff lol. It takes some getting used to aiming with sticks but regardless of what PC fanboys tell you practice makes perfect. You'll never have the speed/precision of a mouse but sometimes games look and play more natural-like without the twitch factor. Hell I was playing Killzone 2 multiplayer yesterday and over a third of my kills were from headshots, and I'm not that good at all to be honest.
Oh and check out Uncharted 2 it's supposed to be the high point of games this year.

No shit. With all the stat tracking and competitiveness it changes the game completely to something more dynamic.


And I can't agree on the growing out of games thing anymore either lol. I did for a while at school but the way games are getting it's almost like saying you've grown out of movies. But the difference there is interactive is always more fun than passive.
I just read the average age of a gamer now is 31. I'm not even there yet wtf.
