Grown-up men playing computer game !?!
« on: November 03, 2001, 08:13:00 AM »
I'm sure most of you old bastiges (30+!!)have faced that statement. So, how do you usually excuse your "playing"?
Mine goes like:

1. it's not game, it's SIMULATOR!
2. Learning curve is HUGE!
2. Flyers average age is wayyyy over 30! (yep yep, i know)  :rolleyes:
3. It's good way to get off all those work things from my mind...
..and so on. Now above "excuses" are getting old so come give some new ones!
 :D

I’d tell them to diddly off frankly.

I could be gambling, screwing potatos, throwing $20's at half naked squeakes to the amount of $150 a hour, or getting a DUI.

Wait, besides the gambling, who are we explaining this to?

We are saints avoiding the rest via staying at home playing AH. Right? YES.

And why are they asking these stupid questions with dishes and vacuuming to do? Answer, cuz they are stupid and don't know better. Thay almost WANT you to go get potatos and DUI's. See? AH = GOOD!

Vector, I know your a impostor woman.

Nice try squeak.

Well thats just it, us 30+ are set, got the career, the wife,  kids getting the hell out of the way... time to spend that well earned leisure time.

  The real question is.. what are you 30- punks doing wasting all you're time playing a game? Get to the library & study, put in those extra hours at work for a promotion, raise that toddler,  get cracking man you can't goof off! You gotta life to build.

  :)  (works both ways)

I use AH play as a weapon against boredome in the office.  If someone comes into my office and starts to tell me about the problems he/she is having with another co-worker, I start telling them all about what I did playing AH the night before.  They leave almost immediately.

I'm not ashamed I play a video game.  I don't believe it makes me any more/less in touch with anything.  I simply enjoy doing it.  It kinda reminds me of something I used to do in highschool.

I use to have a costly habit which changed my life.  It was go to my favorite and local airport, rent an airplane or use my own(big $$), bore holes through the sky, land, pay dearly, hangout at friends or local EAA chapter hanger until I was late for dinner, finally getting home to be squeaked at, eat cold food, work in the garage on my own airplane, fighting with the ex until I fell asleep dreaming of the next time I could do it all over again.....UNTIL THE DIVORCE!!  I am now remarried to the finest woman on earth, and I will never make that same uncontrollable habit of allowing airplanes to rule my life again.....and I don't give a rat's bellybutton who says an old man plays a video games(don't knock it, until you try it), and for that matter I don't give a rat's bellybutton what anyone says.  I have a good time talking to my Squaddie's over Roger Wilco.....having such a great time laughing and carrying on, blowing a virtual enemy plane out of the sky, and it's all within my own house.....No driving drunk, no wife squeaking, no dollar give-aways at the local ballet, and ..... I'm always on time for dinner..     :D

I am over 30, hell I am almost 50. That means I am master of my own destiny and don't HAVE to explain how I spend my time. I'm semi retired so if anyone doesn't like how I spend my time they are cordially invited to HO a semi on the freeway with a yugo and clear out the gene pool.

I also fly real planes, work on real planes and spend a good amount of time at 2 different airports. As to explanations.... it IS, after all, MY time to use as I see fit.

 
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."
