" Puts Gaming In Its Place"

With the events of yesterday in America that had an affect on the majority of people in the world it kind of puts gaming in its place....

...yesterday we saw what can only be described as evil, there is no simple word other than that for what happened yesterday. Sadly, it will continue, and we will not see the end of this conflict for a couple of weeks and I bet you are really looking forward (sarcastic) when Hollywood (being the senseless people they are) make a film out of it.

Well anyway, what has happened has happened, the world will still continue and I would like to offer some words of wisdom to any other people who have been heavily affected by this in anyway wherever you are.

Play a game, go on, grab a console and in the time of confusing depression just play your favorite game... because as my topic about a month talked about it is a great healer or way out. It helps you to lose your thought pattern for a few minutes and this in most ways is a good thing.

Don't care about what others think, I know yesterday when I was in London seeing the news and watching the buildings being evacuated all I wanted was to be at home and playing one of my games, not because I don't care about what happened (because hell I do) but because sometimes when things get to me (which some might know on here) they hit me hard, gaming is my way out from these matters.

Next time, just try it. You really have nothing to lose.

Sorry if this seems a little insensitive, I can only have my opinion.

Thanks

If they do make a film out of it, then I will definetly not be going to see it, theres nothing entertaining about yesterdays events.

i never think about it, not bothered, i do care i did feel immense anger but it was news it is politicians if we go to war we all die what can we do, so i ignored what happened and carried on.

I lot faith in humanity years ago, this stops me ever getting it back.

My favorite game is Counter Strike so I'd better not play it, had I?!

:rolleyes:

Playing Super Smash Brothers was good for me yesterday. I also had a game of AVP getting away from the concerns of reality by taking on a horde of aliens on my own. I think I'll play Black & White to relieve stress by stroking my creature.

i tried to for a while yesterday i played orcarina of time but i couldn't concebtrate for long enough so i gave up and waatched the news
