Who here plays videogames and why?

 

[Red Shadow]

I do, I do!!

I play video games because I Looooove them. It all started when we got a Commodore 64 when I was a wee lass, and I've been addicted ever since.

Video games are fun and that's the main reason I play. They are interactive, have cool graphics, and storylines and today they are very much like playing through a movie in which you are the star I love that aspect of them. More and more movies and television seem to be emulating some of these games which is cool. That show 24 reminds me of a video game big time. It would make a cool one.

It's also a field that I'd like to get involved in as well doing 3D modelling or some other design related stuff. I'm doing multimedia design at uni and last year we got to a few video game production houses in the area and see how it's all done. We got to see some of a Transformers game thats being made which looked pretty cool.

It seems like alot of other gals don't like playing games which I find hard to understand. I get picked on for my geeky ways all of the time but I don't care. Beats the hell out of Reality Television, craptacular sitcoms, and other assorted BS that some people seem to enjoy spending hours of thier lives doing.

Vive la video games!

I'm 35 and just built myself a nice gaming computer last year.

Almost time to upgrade. heheh


I also have a ps2, x-box and gamecube.


I know LOTS of people my age, and older, who are into gaming.

I'm currently playing WC3:Frozen Throne, TR:Angel of Darkness, Summoner 2, and Oddworld:Munch's Oddyssee.

I figure it's my substitute for going out and getting shitfaced like many other people I know.

I started with Atari. Now most of my games are for the PC, but I have an Xbox with two games.

 

[Bullit]

I play... but I am only interested in multiplayer FPS's.
Current game is Battlefield 1942 (EoD mod)

 

[c-sharp minor]

BF 1942 is another fav.

Too bad I suck at it.

I'm pretty good at most fps online games like UT 2003, Quake 3, Urban Terror etc.....but BF 1942 is a different style of fps.

gaming is the perfect way for me to blow of steam/frustration of the day, mentally
as c-sharp mentioned, it's better than going out and getting shitfaced, at least in my opinion...
and I genuinely enjoy games, my favortes right now are BF (i see the trend, it's a damn good game) and ravenshield (rainbow 6)
i play with friends online versus other people on public servers, we chat during games with headphones... it's just fun

 

[ajtomasi]

Surprised no one has mentioned GTA as a fav

 

[p0ink]

i've been playing GTA3 all morning.

now i need to get work done.

UT 2003, Quake 3,

I find these games too 'spazzy'. Not much strategy... just 'run n gun'.
BUT I've only played the demos a couple times so I could be wrong.

Online play is much more competitive and strategic. With UT2003, it has team based play such as Capture the Flag, Bombing Run, Domination, Team Deathmatch. You will be able to speak with your teammates in the upcoming UT2004 which will be a cool option.

Has anyone downloaded the Faceoff mod for UT2003? It's a realistic mod where one team are special ops and the other are terrorists. I've only played it once so far but it seems pretty cool once I get used to it.

the last game i really enjoyed playing was gta: vice city. very cool as far as freedom of actions and gameplay in concerned. I'll have to get another playstation probably if they make another gta, because i sold it not too long ago. I used to play so many games as a kid, but now am trying to prioritize my time a bit. I like rpgs and action type games (ie zelda, vice city, etc.). Even though I haven't really played games lately, I am always tempted to divulge myself in a good game. I must admit, they're cool entertainment.

[HumanShell]

I've got an Xbox and a Gamecube. Per week, I play maybe 5 hours max of games. There are of course some times where I'll be at a friends playing Halo death match with 4 people...and we play for hours at a time.

BTW, this is the new computer I just ordered.

Gonna put in a 2.4Ghz P4, 512MB Kingston PC2700 DDR ram, a DVD/CDRW combo drive, 120gig HD and an ATI AIW video card.
