Watch out gamers!
Before you know it, your stomach will be 10 inches wider, you will have a large beird, you will only ever be seen wearing Y-Fronts and a vest and you will have a sofa with a firm groove of your butt planted in it. And can you imagine the stench? unbearable.
Do games corrupt our social lives then?
Oh yeah! They certainly do! If used inappropriately that is.
Well the vast majority of us ( eeerrr ok then, I guess thats ALL of us ) like playing computer games, wether it be PC, XBox, PS2 or Gamecube for RPG's, simulations, arcade games, sports games, driving games, adventures, FPS's or any others, we all love it and play at every opportunity (unless we have other things to attend to ;D of course). It's one of the things we just love to do and can't be deprived of it for one moment. It's our alternative to collecting trading cards like three year olds and battling them out. Our alternative to anything others do. Simple.
We....... are.........gamers!
We play games for hours on end!
'Once you pop you just can't stop', oops, that's Pringles isn't it. Ah well, that applies to us because once we load the games it's fasinating how long we play for. Hours upon hours of solid thumb twiddling and button hitting. Sure, in the instructions it tells us to play for short periods of time and after that we must take a rest. Pah! We spit in your faces, WE are gaming fans and we don't listen to your rules!
One kid is even going to court for overuse of the console resulting in damage to his brain and thumbs. It's his own fault but he is trying to sue a game company. Do we need to prove how tough we are?
Surely that would be enough, wouldn't it?
Playing from dawn till dusk we never get bored and often need props to keep our poor little eyelids open. Matchsticks or tape or whatever you use (I prefer matchsticks, tape pulls my eyebrows off).
We get frustrated when we don't win and get grounded when we take our anger on our parents.
Well I do anyway.
"You lose, better luck next time"
"Continue / Quit"
"Try again".
AAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
I can't take this anymore!
*doosh* *mum's favourite vase goes flying and smashes*
Grounded!, it's that simple.
And this means that there is nothing to do. No, you can't get out. Well, we'll just have to play a few more games then.
But is that really a bad thing? hhhmmmmm. Well I don't know actually. Maybe it is because we can't go out but then again, that means more time for GAMES!!!
This leads to..........
Becoming couch potatoes and can never be bothered to go out.
We are ungrounded a few days later and ,over the short period of time, we have become couch potatoes. Forever walking around in our underpants and vests smelling like......... eeerrr.......... assortments of smelly things. The groove is planted, the smell has filled the air and our beards have grown collecting various crumbs and left overs. (Yummy!) Our vocabulary often includes many catchphrases from the games and other than them it's all a matter of "er" , "bah" and "mmmm". We can be known to do some of the weird and wonderful antics of Homer Simpson. Well, our brain can be compared to his at least.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Could be both, good reasons are that we can play games MORE!............ bad things are losing your social life. hhhmmmmmm. Which would you choose?.
Stay in....... play games.............. Go out............. do 'stuff'??
In. Out. In. Out. In. Out.
Your choice.
We don't do anything else apart from look for the newest information on games and constantly talk about them wherever we go.
Ah yes, talking on and on about the games in development to anyone we see around.
"Hey, old man!.......... Did you know that Pro Evolution 2 is going to have many more......"
"Mum, guess whats coming out soon!........What?......... Smackdown 4 silly......... it's got tons more stuff and better graphics and everything"
Teacher: "What is 2 plus 2?.......... Hercules!.......... Do you know?
Me: "eeerrrr.......... nope............. but i do know that Devil May Cry is being made and is coming out on the........"
You get the idea.
And so, I wonder what it's going to be like soon when we have the technology to provide bigger and better things.
Walking around like cavemen??? Grunting, snorting, scratching our butts, eating others nits............... The more and more I think about it............... WE ARE BECOMING APES!!!!
Don't let them take over!
Beware.
:D
