I downloaded the demo of Hawx for the 360.


Didn't really like it.. I saw the Promo for the game, and, thought... 'Wow.. that looks cool!'

But, was pretty disappointed in the game. Maybe the FULL game is better..


I play COD2, COD4, GTA/etc on LIVE

I got Rainbow Six Vegas, Halo 3 of course, Ghost Recon 2 and Half Life.

I went to Sunday School a lot as a kid, and went to a private school. When I read this post, a certain Bible verse popped in my head. That doesn't happen all that much, really. I was thinking to myself, "man, it's been a long time since I've even played a video game", then I remembered:

"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."

Hey, I'm all for having fun, but seriously... video games? C'mon.

I just can't help but to wonder if the time and intellectual effort wasted on playing video games couldn't have gotten something profitable accomplished. Being the level 99 grand wizard doesn't help your family all that much.

Profit does not necessarily mean things that make money. Hey, do whatever pleases you most. I'm just stating my stupid opinion.

Bein' playing videogames since I can remember.

I don't see the difference between playing a game and reading a book or watching a movie.

Plus I don't have a family to worry about.

Noobs. Come play left 4 dead on PC and see what its like to get destroyed by [PK]TOOL_5150

The only game I play, I figure it eases my stress, killing zombies and all. Its better than punching someone in the face during the day


Im not a violent guy at all, but I do enjoy that game once in a while.

I didn't play video games much when I was a kid because you had to go to an arcade to do it. My cousin got an Atari for Christmas one year but nobody else I knew had video games at home. My kids(girls 12 &16 now) didn't have a game system either until 2 years ago. They never asked for one. I had a friend give my girls a PS2 and a bunch of games when he bought an XBox 360. The girls play it once in a while but have never really gotten into it. My wife bought me the MOH and Call of Duty games for it and I have to say I enjoy shooting Nazis once in a while. I don't see any harm in playing once in a while. It is no different than any other form of recreation. I have seen my share of guys who let golf or softball take over their every waking moment to where their job and families suffer. Idols come in many forms.

I suppose if that's all I was doing when I sit in front of the computer, that might be true. This is just one thing in one window on one screen.

Sure.

The first step towards recovery is to admit you have a problem.
