The Gaming Forum doesn't play games

True. The gaming forum is kind of dying too. I've noticed that lately the OT has been getting more threads and posts. :p

I just beat Riviera, and I beat Kirby a little while back. I also beat Conker, but that was super fast. I purchased Meteos too, although that hasn't 'grabbed' me yet.

Besides that, consoles have had a fairly week past few weeks so I haven't really been doin' much of that. This summer has been weak for jobs for me, so besides my other obligation I've had a lot of freetime. And foruming is an addiction, don't let anyone fool you!

Now I've stopped playing Halo 2 online since my ranks went down too much


Hey Chittagong, you are a smart poster - why the fuck do you care what number your rank is? Mine are all over the place - depending what matchmaking type - and I have never once cared what it is past like, 7. If it's too low, I get to own folks for a bit and when it gets too high I enjoy a slap on the wrists from RainMan style superfreaks. What's the problem?

If games would come out... then the gaming thread would be popping...

Well, I'm playing, just not anything new. Right now it's a steady diet of Super Metroid (which I saw for the 1st time in S-Video just last night), Street Fighter III on LIVE, Alundra, and various Saturn shmups. All my "current" gen stuff is collecting dust.

I play games. My tv is currently broken though and in for repairs. Battlefield 2 just isn't doing enough for me on my pc atm.
 
Yeah, I never play games.

Had to move things about a little to get everything in shot, and it won't be the most you've ever seen but this is the state of my bedroom:

Everything I could possibly want access to in my bedroom (Coke > Pepsi) -

Some games -

Stuff that was sitting in a nearby draw out of shot -

My copy of Four Swords Adventures is leant out to someone and I don't know who. Same thing with a few other games... I'd better sort that out actually.

I still haven't recovered from my trade-in debacle (In 1996 I swapped a SNES and Megadrive/Genesis with 20+ games each... in return I got a PlayStation and FIFA 96). A few years later, I was going about my business when I suddenly collapsed with heart palpatations and fucking wept openly.

Meteos arrived on Thursday (which was my birthday by the way - age 22!) --- it's brilliant! It's not the kind of awe that I sit in when something wows me with pretty visuals/audio... I just start playing, then look up at the clock and realise I've lost a couple of hours. It's insane! The stats screen has already let me know that I'm playing it too much already.

If anyone ever wants to sell some SEGA stuff, drop me a PM or post a thread so I can check it out.


The cube isn't in shot cos it's still downstairs, where it was when I took these pictures:

Most of them play,it's just a "flavor of the week" type deal though,the Halo 2 clan had like 100 people in it,and within a week it was down to like 10 people who actually played :lol
 
Yup, GAF has too much money to play one game for a long period of time. Youve seen their collections. Only gamers I trust on this forum are the financially poor ones.

Well, being married and a father of 2 here in NYC, my disposable income is nil. Let's just say that I do a lot of covert purchasing and Ebay is my drug. And friends that let me use their Ebay accounts are the worst kind of pushers. :)

You play boxarts.

You play sales numbers.

You play PR spin.

You play reviews.

You play screenshots.

You play videos.

Who actually games? Not this forum.

The prosecution rests its case.


Meh. I have video proof: me playing games.

I have a Cube w/ 3 games and I'll play it like 5 hours a week at most, if that. Sold my Xbox because I was tired of having a Halo player when I wasn't playing Halo :lol

I'm hoping that by getting a PS2 w/ DMC3, not to mention the killer lineup that system has, that I'll be playing games a lot more. But yeah I do spend more time reading about games than actually playing them, which makes me wonder if I truly love playing them anymore. =\

Oh shit i wish.
I'm still having to choose where to use my money. I buy less clothes than most people and i get out less often. I'm also not travelling (i would if i was richer). Disposable income will have a rendez-vous with me in a couple of years when "lead" is going to be written in front of my position name. ;)
