Title: I'm not a Gamer
Post by: ZetaNine on October 11, 2010, 10:22:02 PM
One of the things that amazes me so much when I read this board.....is the amount of other games people play here..either live online via pc..or Xbox..Wii...or whatever else.

the reason I say this is because This is the literally ONLY game I play.  anywhere...ever.

So...I want to ask.......and I mean this very sincerely........ am I the ONLY one?

nope..

Although the Squid has me committed to learning Halo so he can kill me repeatedly.  Probably should have practiced that instead of getting my arse handed to me repeatedly in the kites tonight in AVA.

Every couple of months I'll break out an old PC game I haven't played in a while, Sim City has been on my mind lately.  Can't remember buying a new PC game in the last 5-6 years.

I used to do a lot of console stuff when I was a young fella (Sega megadrive etc.) but up until I found Warbirds a few years ago I didnt really play anything. I stuck with warbirds for a while but it started to bum me out listening to crickets chirping, from there I moved to Aces High and have recently started playing world of tanks. I really dont have the time or inclination for anything else.

I play the two Left 4 Dead games (PC), and once in awhile I'll load up CoD2 or Silent Hunter III.

Other than that - its mostly internet checkers and spider solitaire!  :lol

I started playing strategy games and console games (read Mario Cart) because my son wants to play them with me.  Otherwise, it's been a monogamous relationship... well, except for that flirt with America's Army a few years ago.  And the old girlfriend, Warbirds.

nope, this is the only game ive played for longer than a year. I try to show it to my friends who play xbox live, but they can never get past having to wait 5 minutes to fly to a fight. this game takes patience and for the average call of duty or halo player, this just does not appeal. I need smarter friends :noid

Sounds like I need to introduce you to the Squid Plawranc.  I've never been so gently reminded to pick up a game title after work than I was with Reach.  I'm probably going to start 1 today for an hour or so then back to the nurturing biosphere of the AVA for me.  :D

This, Civ and Total War were pretty much the only games i played.  Since i no longer play AH, i guess it leaves Rome Total War, Empire Total War, and Civilization IV - i rarely play any of those games any more.

If you like history, the other games i mentioned above are worth checking out.

I keep it fresh and generally play one till I get tired of it. Right now I am almost tired of WOT...so I will likely be taking a break until it goes live. I play AH for the scenarios right now because I just don't have the time...fall is tough for me with work and kids sports...

I like to play "Hunting Season".

First level is where I walk all over God's green earth to miss shot opportunities at grouse.

The second level consists of working my butt off to get a deer stand ready, only to be outsmarted by an animal with a miniscule brain.

Final level is when I hang up my gear and grab the ice auger.

The Walters always pay.

This and World Of Tanks is about it for now. Play BFBC2 every once in awhile on PC and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue some times. When GT5 comes out I'll be glued to that when i can be.

 :rofl

i seem to play this same game too, although once in a while, i get to play the alternate ending where i bag some tasty elk from afar.

all joking aside, since i am in college, i find myself on Live almost every fri/sat night. i play BF: BC2 almost religiously. when i dont play that game, i play NCAA football 2010, fantasizing about the day when South Carolina will finally hoist that crystal ball.

Well if you'd be so kind as to direct me which ones to buy I would by all means.  I'll even state proudly when I go to Gamestop that Ack Ack sent me and see the fear and terror in their eyes that they might displease me.  Gee all you had to do was ask. :)
