Gaming

[Thundergod]

Do you play video games? What console do you use?

 

I was about to buy the PS 3 a while ago and then realized I don't really play much (once every 4 months at most) and so I didn't buy anything. I can't remember the last time I played any games outside of the ones I have on the iphone, I do remember the last console I got is the Play Station 2 (the slim version) and at the time it was great... now with Full HD screens it looks blurry and just wrong so it's not as fun to play with.

 

I loved to play on my last PC, I played strategy games only tho, and I don't really know if there are any good ones for PS2 (are they still making games for it?). When I did play PS2 I played horror games, mainly the Silent Hill series, but I read somewhere the latest (SH8) is PS3 only (no PS2 compatibility) so I guess I won't be trying it out.

I really only have ever played tetris and TF2. I blow at TF2. I don't play either very much anymore, but technically I play once a week or so.. so computer it is

 

As for tetris... I haven't sped this up

I play online Texas Hold 'Em and Monopoly, but haven't owned a system since the first Playstation came out.

[tazzboy]

I used to play but I haven in quite sometime. I still have my old Nintendo and Sega

There really should be multiple choices in that poll, myself I picked up a 360 a year ago and play it a bit. Nothing like back in the NES days though.

It's multiple choice now.

I have a PS3 because I like a lot of the Sony exclusive games. The online play sucks though. I'd like to have a 360, but I'll wait until the next revision.

360 but haven't played in about two years. Call of Duty 4 was the **** man, if anyone has it, when i get back in december i plan on re-upping my xbox live and owning n00bs

If you make it a poll, "Groo the Wanderer" would get my vote.

I have two PS3's. But I don't game. I use them as blue ray players and to stream video from my laptop to tv.

I've tried gaming, but when you haven't it's so hard. Just like learning to play guitar I suppose.

I play on XBOX Live all the time under DiamondJig. I like shooters COD, Halo then for off line play I like the roll playing type like Fallout.

Nuendo, Cubase and Logic here. I have protools but I just hate the stripped down computer version that is available for their hardware, and the HD version is too expensive (and I don't like the interface anyway).

 

Do you produce/record?

Sure.

[MojoRedFoot]

Since being recently separated and moving into my own house, I have embraced bachelorhood and bought the CoD: Black Ops bundle pack for PS3. Been playing MW3 a lot too Now I want a bigger TV.....I now understand what all the nerds have been saying. 40" is not big enough...I want a 55" LCD for the PS3.

Wii.

 

Two games:

That's all we got.

Does Scrabble on Facebook count? I was into Wii sports for a while, but I got over it. We also have an Xbox 360 (and an original Xbox too) because my older son likes to blow stuff up. I don't use it though. I don't see how anyone grown up has the time. I count a day lucky if I have time to play the guitar.

Yo gotta make time for fun surfpup!!!

I usually play instead of watching tv. Way more entertaining to interact with the Television, rather that just stare at it. And if "Grown Ups" shouldn't be gaming, should they be playing around on the internet with Facebook Accounts and Gibson Forums? 'Cause a Scrabble player on Facebook is indeed in the same boat as gamer on the 360.

I didn't say they shouldn't - I just said I didn't understand having the time. I can play a scrabble word or read your post and be back to chasing after the two-year old in a minute or so. I doubt a game console is conducive to that.

 

Contrary to the conclusion to which you have jumped, I actually think gaming would be fun if I had the time to learn and then play the games.

 

As far as the only available choices being watching or interacting with the TV, I actually prefer to turn it off and spend any free time I do get outside. I'd much rather spend my time in/on/near the water given the choice of that or "gaming". My choice.
