All the games i like playing are completed, and i find it boring to play them for the 55th time.

I never play on my 64 and PS but im keeping them to go back to some time, or wait until someone breaks in than get a refund a buy a lot more GC games hurray.

As for playing games i hadnt played in 2 days but i went back to burnout to day then finnaly spend about an hour to get past a hard race only to go to the next one and get stuck on that then having to start again from the start.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. now i know why i stopped playing for a while.

I gave away my PS back in November, then won Commandos 2 and fell in love with it, but completed it after 2 weeks and found no-one on the net wanting to play it. Then, I got a Mac. Oops. So, I've now got no consoles no games and a computer that will play them, but at a rip off price. So, the last time I played a game was back in November.

Actually... no?! People don't play games any more!!

A recent survey showed that the millions of PS2's sold world-wide are typically used as modernistic coasters! There black exterior is perfect for hiding common stains left by spills and the wipe clean surface proves a masterpiece of engineering typical of the boys at Sony. Although this is true there have been many complaints regarding the PS2 logo and its tendency to come off fairly easy after a heavy flow of coffee. Sony should really pick up on this problem.

Cubes on the other hand are commonly used as cat flap blockades keeping nasty territorial moggy's away from your own p****'s patch, and an obvious implementation into design from Nintendo as the size is perfect for the job!! No more tacky flaps guarding your house, oh no, the cube does the job twice as good and the flip up CD top means it can adjust to fit any size cat flap on the market!

On the other hand X-Box's seem to be making perfect replacements for bricks! Believe it or not most modern houses are now built with the use of these hardwearing feats of engineering, the large rugged design and green features mean they are perfect for replacing the tried and tested brick in creating modern styled shacks!

Ever wanted to stare into your own eyes but have not been able to from lack of a reflective surface or mirror? Well this seems to have caught the publics eye as Game Boy Advance sales have rocketed! That's right, people on the street are buying these beauties just for use as a mirror! I know, you don't believe it! Neither did I until I saw five young lads just staring at the reflective surface or 'screen' supplied on the product. Again Nintendo come out tops for extras, this one just proving how in touch with the public Nintendo are.

You see dear friends, people have actually given up on gaming! Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft are making their profits using hidden 'talents' that their machines poses, maybe these 'talents' are accidents, maybe not, the fact is consoles are proving that they too can be 'jack of all trades'. Yes folks, gaming is just an image in the rear view mirror of the brave new world.

Maybe not eh.

Nope don't play games hardly. Nothing's gripped me for ages, I'm waiting for Skies of Arcadia on GC with baited breath here Grix.

I read about gaming mind, very interesting I just don't play hardly any more, I get the occasional blast at Tony Hawks and that's about it.

I play games a bit, I'm waiting for Mario Sunshine and all the other Nintendo epics to be released, then the gaming will start up again properly.

Honestly though, the forums have to be renamed. For example, the Prime room isn't solely used for the Future of Gaming topics- it's for in depth gaming topics on any part of the industry. Meanwhile this room should be a general games discussion room (not just Future of Gaming), and people not chatting about games should go to the "life" room (yes, there is one!).

So, why not suggest some new names... this asks for another non-gaming topic to be set up;)
