Good news for all of you productive adult video gamers

Post by CFB Apologist »

Your inability to grow out of playing video games will soon be a disorder, and you can theoretically go on disability from it.

Our gamers don’t need this, since they are rugged individualists.

So this unsupported allegation is more true than your previous allegation, which was demonstrably not true? I’ll choose to remain skeptical.

He was defending storyline creativity in video games, sounded like someone defending pr0n as art.

But in all serious time spent playing video games versus watching sports. Is one truly better than the other? The way he talks I'm presuming CFB watches a lot of golf. That's more productive than playing video games for the same duration of time?

I agree- watching golf is not anymore productive than playing video games for the same duration. Although you gcould argue that Johnny Miller and Peter Kostis's tips are something you can learn from and take to the range, etc. But your premise is correct- Neither are productive when you get down to it.

I think you'd be more likely to meet productive people on a golf course than you would playing video games with someone in their parent's basement.

Arguing with strangers online all day while hurling insults and slurs is certainly not indicative of mental illness, though.

Well, sure, now that's changing the conversation.

Time spent outdoors playing golf with others is time better spent than watching television, video games or otherwise.

Yep. If someone is playing video games all day long to the detriment of their own health or financial well-being, then that's a problem. Sort of like gambling. But if you just do it causally from time to time for entertainment, then I don't see why its a problem.

That’s correct. But CFB’s astute point is that those whose interests lie in imitating life, rather than participating life, are losers.

If you enjoy playing golf, it’s only natural to want to witness it in its finest form - which is a black man - the greatest athlete of our generation - dominating white boys born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

Seems about the same as getting worked up over a fantasy warrior princess, except that the ghoul in any game is ALWAYS easier on the eyes and less annoying than your show's main subject/character.

This is something one cannot get away from. :shock:

Cwtcr was incorrect. She gets naked, but not properly naked.
