Gaming Ban

That’s when gaming was a group experience, as you watched the local thick **** who could barely tie his own shoelaces own the thing for seemingly eons.

Then came the Atari & it largely ended and gaming became a solus experience

 

Tbh, if I’d had Space Invaders and internet porn in the house when I was a kid, I’d still be in my bedroom now.

 

No it's changed, the meltdowns are spectacular.

 

Luv banning his kids, when he’s addicted to this place.

Father like son I would say ....

 

I think that’s due to the online stuff personally, it’s one thing losing to a mate at home or to the computer opponent, it takes on a different dynamic when you’re competing with internet randoms, especially if there’s interaction and they’re taking the piss etc.

 

I smash up my computer everyday, i'm not seeing the difference

 

Why the guitar

 

That’s epic

 

Oh yeah it's the online stuff without a doubt, my kid doesn't get angry at all if it's an offline game.

 

So there’s your solution. Cancel the online subscriptions mate.

You’re welcome.

 

Yeah I have. He's taken it well I think he knows it's messing with his head.

 

Playing games used to piss me off as a kid, and depending on my mood into my early 20s. Have destroyed countless controllers by throwing them across the room or into a wall. Snapped one with my hands after I started lifting. Have also piledrived a laptop into the floor when I lost a game on Football Manager.

Nowadays I’m not bothered at all when I lose or whatever but I barely play. My housemate still goes mental when he’s losing on Fifa/Fortnite and he’s 30. He won’t break **** though just shout at the 9 year old who is beating him.

 

Did anyone else used to play with the buttons and n **** whilst the demo was on dreaming about putting some money in one day?

I was banned from Arcades coz my dad thought they were the first step towards gambling machines which happened to be placed within close proximity for some weird reason

 

This seems a great thread for getting our likes to posts ratio up.

 

This was the one that ate my, and my friends, money. 4 way action with a buy in when you died. The owner of my local newsagents must've made a fortune from it.

I’ve avoided Fortnite, I don’t want to play it, Because I might get addicted to it.

 

It's say that was a good decision Matth.
