No, life is too short to waste it like that. If I can't get out, then give me a good book.

I don't have time for all the hunting and hunting related activities I do so no way I would have time for any serious gaming. Now if I have 15-30 minutes late at night when I can't get anything else done, I might do a little mind-numbing angry birds. confused2

In the mid 90's we bought my daughter a Nintendo 64 and had a ball playing Didy Kong Racing as a family. I bought the games 007 Goldeneye and Fire Fox. They were fun but the 007 Goldeneye was a first-person shooter game. It was fun but made me seasick.

I tried Call Of Duty but couldn't figure it out. I'd get killed in the first minute. I don't know how these young kids play this chit. I do see the allure and it is fascinating how the game creators make these games.

When you get groups of young people sitting with headphones playing against their friends all over town, this is a little too much.

Judd , you need the full racing set up, custom chair, gas pedal, brakes, steering wheel. I think it runs around $5,000. Would be fun to get behind the wheel of a Lambo !!!

My son, and his wife watch anime, i don't get it, but to each their own.

What is anime? Looks like a Japanese cartoon. kids are wanting to move to Japan after getting hooked on it. isn't it porn?

I am an old , but I do have an X box and have played the " Ace Combat " series , the most current version came out in 2019, I have played it all the way thru
multiple times, The final mission is a challenge for sure. Crashed and burned more times than I can count.
I can not play first person shooter games , they give me vertigo. I only play single player games , Don't want to be online with a bunch of kids.

I will also admit to playing GTA , many years ago.

Good luck

It’s porn. Just because they are not naked, does not mean it’s not pornographic. It leaves little to the imagination.

I don’t know much about it, but I’ve seen enough to know it’s strange, especially for adults.

That version has been out since 2001. I’m sure that never contributed to the crime problem here.

WTF are you talking about? This is a video game?


Grand Theft Auto 3.


There’s GT5 now and probably a 6 on the way.

No. I knew myself enough when the first Xboxs came out not to try it. All I did as a kid was play "war" after school. I did read Sgt. Rock. up I'm pretty sure I have, what they call, an "addictive personality."

Yes I know. I’m sure it’s full of even more crime and moral turpitude. I arrested several teenagers who were playing it in real life.

This place is around the corner from the casa. I took my 21 year old there to show him what it was like in 1980 when I was a mere 16 yrs old. He enjoyed the evening. We played for 3 hours or so. I love the nostalgia and fond memories of hanging out at them. Mostly on the north side of SA but New Braunfels had one as well. Always full of groups of hot chicks too.

As far as console gaming goes I’m mostly out unless it’s driving or flying. We have a PS, Xbox and Wii that are all collecting dust.

I’m nearly 60 and haven’t owned a console in some time. We bought an Xbox series X about a year ago to use for some streaming, blu ray and DVDs. We also use it to play common board games.

In bad weather or if I didn’t feel like watching TV, have enjoyed working my way through the storyline of Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s like being a participant in a movie.

Might even try one of the Assassins Creed series afterwards. It’s entertainment no different than watching wheel of fortune.

Anything can be abused but some people are out of touch. A few months back I was traveling on business and stopped at a cafe for lunch. Some older fellow made the comment about people always on their phones as that’s what I was doing while eating. I was using the Kindle app reading a good history book about the WW2 Lorraine campaign. Just smiled and nodded.

I have hired a handful of young guys recently, several say they want to be a gamer. Then talk about some guy that is making $250k a year as a gamer. I tell them they have a better chance at the NBA.
I play Scrabble when the THF is boring.

My oldest daughter makes a little side cash streaming her game play. I don't know how as she's not by any means great at it. But hey, if she can get some extra scratch from it, why not?

My younger cousin made a couple hundred thousand playing some online computer game. He was on a “team” and traveled to events around the world with sponsors. Then one day he quit. Graduated HS 2 years early and is now an anesthesiologist and world traveler.
