I saw a lot of goons talking about E3, and oh boy does that take me back. I got into video games heavy as a kid - first with Pokemon and later through the 90s/2000s mostly as a Playstation kid. (Family wasn't $$$ enough for multiple consoles, though I did eventually get a Gamecube for Animal Crossing) Anyways, around the end of college / beginning of grad school I just... fell out of it. I boxed up the Wii during a move and ended up not even setting up my TV at the new place. Part of it was lack of free time but I dunno, it's just like I fell out of it? (For me, I got really into movies and tended to spend my free time on  )I'm thinking of picking up an Xbox and a copy of Call of Duty or maybe a 720DS or whatever the kids are using these days to play Pokemon Obsidian. Anyways I'm curious - did any other heavy gamers stop when they turned into adults?

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:No but I知 not normal I've also been moving around a lot. Now that I am in one place I was thinking of getting a Blu Ray player + nice TV, and realized that it might make sense to get an Xbox since it'll do double duty - can play those + do streaming.

I camp out and snipe, if I use sprint my hands begin to experience crippling pain. I知 hoping to get on disability full time at some point so I can fully dedicate myself to my fps gaming career my roomie in college had an xbox and I played CoD ocassionally but I never had consistent access so I never got good. I used to love screwing with people - spending entire matches trying to get knife kills, hiding out and sniping etc. I grew up in the multitap era so being able to actually camp and not get spotted was new and cool. Only most people had the maps memorized so I'd just get knifed a lot

also imho a lot of modern games are very intense. stuff like wow, huge commitment both in terms of hours per week and just learning the game. something like pokemon or metal gear solid, you could set aside a block of time and have fun. sure you might want to play longer but it wasn't required.

Jim Barris posted:what the gently caress are you talking about "hours per week commitment"? Nobody forces you to play videogames, it's not a job. you think you can enjoy, savor, and master WoW in 30 mins a week?

Was anyone else an Electronic Gaming Monthly subscriber? They poo poo the bed and offered me to choose another subscription from their parent company so I picked Maxim, very nice. They forgot to stop sending them after the 4 or so issues I had left on my subscription - they kept coming for years until my parents moved.
