Yeah PS4.
I only played PC games based on DnD rules (classes, stats etc). But I watched Matt Mercer's campaigns (Critical Role on YouTube) and it's really fantastic storytelling, he's a voice actor too. I did host some small custom RPG campaigns featuring my gameworld. Maybe if I do something like that in the future, I will ask if anyone's interested here. I wish everyone a good weekend
I cannot particpate in this thread Im sorry lol
I remember a bunch of guys in high school used to be fascinated with playing on the very slow computers this game where stars kept flashing on the screen and you had to push a key on the keyboard to stop them from invading....something.
Actually all those games just remind me of those microscopic pictures of sperms trying to find their way to the egg.
Ive actually blocked all access to games on the computers in the library because I think children ought to be reading all the books then hogging the one computer. some have NOOO concept of how selfish they are being when they do that.

I'll never be able to look at Space Invaders the same way again.
So, does seoulsearch have a secret passion of Space Invaders?!?! hmmmmmm?!?!
i never played battlefield or mario kart. i've always preferred deep single-player campaigns to multiplayer, and the experience of watching RTCW flood with spoilers and drive other players away probably reinforced that. i played madden a little years ago, but i got more into playing the PGA tour games -- they're really kind of relaxing - turning commentary off golf games are a quiet, atmospheric soundtrack - very much in contrast with almost all other games, where there's usually some noise of violence or loud item-pick-up alerts. golf games are just wind, birds, and the occasional bright clink of taking a shot, and muted thuds of the small ball landing on the earth.
i played pretty much everything but medic in RTCW; i never wanted to be 'that guy' -- well, if i was going to do the things 'that guy' did in those games i wasn't going to take what i saw as the easy way out. i played a lot of field-ops, which i know, spamming artillery all day is just as cheese as standing on piles of medpacks -- but hey shot for shot there's no more efficient weapon in the game. still i would always try to match or outdo my airstrike kills with smg. running out of ammo is awful, i wasn't ever good with a knife, and honing smg skill is basic for being good at fps games no matter what class you play, so that was usually my first choice especially for the first few years i played; that and the mg42, because the classic maps all have pinch points where if you can get set up with one of those and someone will feed you ammo, you can mow own the other team almost the whole game and really control the whole flow of the map.
as i got to be more of a 'veteran' at it i played a lot more engineer than anything else. because, land mines and grenades, and because, the straighforward way to win almost every map requires an engineer. i always played to win, even if i was goofing around and waiting until the last 3 minutes to do it. one of my favorite things to do was be on a team that was being severely whomped, sneak/trickjump behind everyone and blow up the objective of an overconfident opponent
i used to run the basketball-game map on my servers all the time with low gravity, and coded panzers to shoot patterns of multiple rockets instead of one at a time. that was a blast! does that sound familiar to you? i don't know of anyone who did that but me, and it was always on my rotations once i sorted out how to do all the scripting
This is precisely why I play games. It's like reading a book or watching a show, but you can walk around in the setting and interface with the cast, learn their backstory... or you can just go on with the main plot. It's up to you how much detail you want in the story.
Oooh, I wonder what's down that alley... Ah, it's an orc who wants to sell me a sword he claims is magic. Quicksave time!
Remember that short period of time i played WOW with you?? That was fun even though I stunk at it !

I got into the golf game on Wii Sports, if people were around. It's a good game to entertain guests. Hitting the ball in the water is always worth a laugh, or a cry. lol
I liked playing medic on RTCW, because you can heal. Would lay about 5 medic packs and just camp around a corner, than when someone attacks, they are thinking why aren't you dead? Ah-haw! Standing on medic packs buster! lol Love that move.
You were the guy jumping over the wall to blow up both the North and South cannon to rush the map. Tisk-tisk. Did the same thing, but I think they made it a rule later on, that you weren't allowed to skip an objective. I seen some trick dynamite tricks from the back of the cannons, that showed some skill. Couldn't ever do that. I did a few covert operation engineer type moves to lay minds on top of the cannons, than set-up my grenade launcher, and wait for the engineers to get ambushed. Good times.
I liked all the classes on RTCW, really was a great game. The flame thrower was fun on certain maps. If the panzer was taken, usually went for the medic or engineer. I loved laying minds all around the broken down tank, so when the enemy comes....Ka-boom!
Don't remember the multiple rocket attacks at all, but thought it was funny when a present was shot out of the panzer, if you did to many self kills; So humiliating!

The key is to show you’re not scared of the bad guys and you kill them at all costs.

As soon as I see the nasty animal I say “shoot shoot!” With the tiny laser Pointer.
lol That's hilarious. Those nasty animals are coming from you at all directions though.

They hide in their walls and corners and pop out when they surrender lol
haha I won the prize even though Im useless at video games.
I remember my brothers used to play sega back in the day and hardly ever let me have a turn, one time they played all night trying to clock it and Am sure they fried their brains. this was before it was proven that videos games cause epileptic seizures in vulnerable children.
I thought they were timewasters and money wasters when we had them at the takeaways where you had to put in coins for each game played...good way to train for being an assassin or a gambler. Both honorable jobs in videogame land but not so in real life
A game might cost upwards of $120 and a console at least $400
I try not to judge people. that play them obviously they enjoy the and killing and shooting imaginary people but not my cup of tea. I try not to worry about stuff like the morality of it all especially games such as grand theft auto that make larceny and theft so attractive that it gets rewarded.
if people want to play around with that then thats their issue with God.
Some valid points, but a little preachy.
I feel the same way about cable television, nothing really good on.
Sort of drifted to youtube though, a lot less commercials for sure.
Noticed that Netflix offers Pure Flix, which is suppose to be family oriented. Ever try Pure Flix?
I wish lanolin could see what I am saying. I would tell her about the video game I am playing right now, which rewards players a lot more for using non-lethal methods than for just blasting through with a rifle.
I believe Arkham city was the second one. The third one had the Batmobile
