There are games that I can appreciate from a visual point of view
and as feats of programming they are hugely impressive. The problem is I have literally no desire whatsoever to play them. None at all. The thought of sitting there pretending to shoot at stuff seems so utterly boring, and those Wii type things are undignified and silly. Not for me, thank you.

I went out with a woman who had a 13-year-old son who was obsessive over these things and he was practically a recluse as a result – there’s a whole load of socially incompetent weirdoes out there who don’t really engage with the real world. I’m not judging here – the real world’s fucking horrible and I don’t want to engage with it myself, but I can see the argument that obsessive ‘gaming’ is unhealthy.

Yeah he was 13 and "playing computer games" all the time in his room.

He was - she'd blocked all the porn access on his PC after she caught him having a wank one day. He used to play some WWII game with a headset so he could talk to all the paedos pretending to be kids on there.

I understand multiplayer games to play with your mates
I've never wanted to sit in by myself playing. I also don't have a gaming computer so...

I think the main reason I dont play them often
is that I am shit at them. The only excpetion to this is MarioKart, much to the annoyance of Mrs Cow when I beat her every time we play

Mariokart is a lot of fun
I think 64 was the best, to be fair that's the last one I played

I'm convinced everyones' gaming ability peaks at around twelve.
I played my N64 recently and it's absolutely beyond me how I completed Goldeneye when I was about nine.

I need someone to complete Control on 00 Agent for me, it's driving me fucking insane.

Does that unlock invincibility?

I've tried in the past to play the odd game but it just doesn't light my fire at all.
Computer pinball was quite fun.

Obsessive anything can be unhealthy
Arguably constant and habitual drug use is worse, no?
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 10:24, Reply)

Almost certainly.
As I said, I'm not judging.

My nephew loves playing computer games of all kind but he also loves doing sports etc
If it ever got to the stage where he prefered staying in and playing computer games to going out then I would insist his my sister take away all the consoles until he saw sense.
