Iam a gammer from the harsh uruguayan jungle (we dont even have a jungle down here, too cold, go and do some
wikipedia of Uruguay). I used to do a podcast in spanish about videogames at
Radio LevelUp but I dont do it anymore... anyway those guys are there still making it so you can give it a try if you understand spanish
And i can say "�aca �aca �aca" and i know how to pronoaunce it well since im a spanish speaker, so Im a superior race.
A couple of idiots may find funny that I dont have good english grammar, but again, they are probably idiots since they only speak/write one language...
Most of my time in the internet is because of games. I love videogames so much that i sleep with my girlfriend and my ds, at the same time... i call that a "threesome" and my humor doesnt get anything better than that.
Mostly im a PC gamer, i was going to buy a 360 but faulty crappy hardware told me not to since if it goes RRoD here I would have lost my money, and as a man Im entitled to the sweat of my brow. I want to fuck the Wii and I believe the PS3 is going to be the first console in space.
In the "real" life (come on, internet now is part of our lives anyway...), I study medicine (takes a lot of time and I cant spend enough of my time playing videogames). Is not what you would call a marriage made in heaven, if I wanted to game more I should have sutdy something related to pc�s, but I grown surrounded by computers and stuff so I chose the bio stuff instead. Anyway, little time to play video games if you dont want my biographical shit.
And the main reasson I play games for the story behind them. I love well written stories like Half Life series, of course Portal (kind of a Valve fan). Other great games include World Of Warcraft (not currently playing, actually I was never hardcore, but I enjoyed the experience a lot), and of course the classics like System Shock 2. Other great titles had stuck with me over the years, classics adventure games like Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and Grim Fandango.
So, best game experiences:
Half Life 2 (and the original Half Life of course).
System Shock 2
Grim Fandango
Indiana Jones and the Fate Of Atlantis
Monkey Island

What's so bad about telling parents and their kids to play less video games and do something constructive?
Big Z is right. He didn't say video games are bad, it's just up to the parents to enforce rules if they are the ones complaining about the video games.
Obama wants parents to get involved, that's all he said. He did not say video games were the devil's plaything. Are most gamers adults? Yes. But not all of them are adults. Don't be so fucking dense. Kids shouldn't be playing video games all day anyways. They should be focusing on schoolwork and socializing. When you spend your whole life playing games and avoiding human contact, you end up a sociopath like Dprime.
My opinion is that he (probably your next president), is thinking videogames as worthless, and for all that I know that statement as a whole is ignorant on the matter.
An informed statement, in my opinion, would be different. And not just plain talk out of my ass.
I call him a communist because I think is funny. Dont take it seriously.
I agree with the comments and would also point out that whenever the government starts regulating video games because they find it too violent or unfit for children in any other regard, we all make the correct point that "it's the parents responsibility" or "where were the parents?". So I think he has a good point, he's not trying to ban video games (I'm looking at you Australia), he's trying to get adults to actually parent their child instead of letting TV or video games instill morals into the child.
And calm down with the Communist rant. The red scare is over McCarthy, you can come out of the bunker now.
Are your 2 minutes hate up yet?
And this was not a hate post. I dont even live in the US.
Likewise, you seem to be attacking Obama because he says something not so good about videogames. And even then he's not saying anything specific about videogames.
