Anyone else not play video games?

[iamlowsound]

Is there anyone else here that doesn't play video games? I will play them with my friends from time to time, but I haven't done so since the summer. BTW I am 19.

I play them.

Why am i posting in this thread?

I bought a PS2 today and four games.

Never found them worth the time. I have too many other things to do. If I'm sitting in a waiting room I might play solitaire on my PDA for a few minutes. I bought my daughter a Nintendo 64 a few years ago and played Duck Dodgers on it for a while, but by the time I progressed at all in the game, I was tired of it and ready to go do something else. Not my cup o'tea.

I can't imagine life without my 360.

My Son has several game systems and I just watch. I suck so bad at any of them, I just gave up. I really don't have the time for them anyway, I'd rather play my bass. I do spend a bit of time with my RC Helicopter simulator but it's not really a game. A good friend and customer of mine owns a major game company what won a VGA a few weeks ago. I'm sort of familiar with his games but never play them. I miss my old Asteroids game, I might by another one at some point. That's my speed, steer and shoot

I specifically DO NOT own a gaming platform for a reason. Once I pick up a controller, I have a very hard time putting it down. When I did own one, it was not unusual for me to be up all night until it was time for work. The bad thing is, that I'm not even very good at most of them (except Tetris & Dr. Mario).

And plenty of other ways to zone out too.

Videogames are one of the biggest WOFTAMs in history.

It's so rare that I want to play video games, and when I do, I'll just play NES. But even that is rare.

And most of my NES playing is tetris... which I could play on any platform, but what the hell...



I did get into the GTA games and I got into one of the Hitman games (not sure which one), but that's been about it.

NES Tetris is so clearly superior to every incarnation of Tetris, though. It just... feels right.

I prefer games that I can pick up and put away at any time without much consequence. I haven't been grabbing the lastest systems, my newest being an XBox I got in 2005. I only have a few EA Sports games, Tony Hawk, Dave Mirra, GTA, and a disc with old Midway arcade games. I also dig most of the old-school consoles and games.

I do play video games, but I just don't keep up with the latest games and consoles. It's always been that way. I didn't get a Game Boy until around 1996, also around that time I bought a NES at a yard sale. My brother and I saved for months to get a system that had been out for years (a Playstation in '99). I just never found it worthwhile to keep up.

I pretty much quit in high school except for the occasional Halo LAN party, but now that I'm in college I've started playing a lot more. Go figure.

[Fassa Albrecht]

I occasionally play on my Nintendo DS but apart from these rare occasions, I never play.

Other than playing with the kids, very infrequently. I've run through a few PC FPS' over the last few years (gifts, mostly), but I get bored with them pretty quickly. Fortunately, my real life is interesting enough that I don't need a substitute for it.

[SpankyPants]

I hardly ever play video games.

Once in a blue moon.

I've only played one real game in the last few months and that was rock band on Christmas eve at my cousin's.

I used to play them all the time... I was quite fanatical. Then I got a job at a games company, and after working there for five years, I couldn't look at a video game again for years... it totally killed my desire to play them.
