I sure as hell would be lying if i called myself a game freak.
I play games, but mostly online games. And i watch cartoons and disney channel. Most people say that it is childish and immature, but i don't think so.

Now back to this gaming thing. Okay, first of all, i don't believe that playing any kind of game is childish or immature, But i do believe that everything we do as grown ups should be done moderately.

Games have advantages and they also have disadvantages.  Too much of everything is bad.
The reason why most people say that it's childish when some 'grown ups' play games, is not because of the game they are playing, but because of how much time they put into playing these games. People believe that, if you are 'grown up', you should have better things to do than sit in front of your TV, swinging a remote control looking like thing up and down, side and round, all because you are playing the 'wii'.

I wouldn't mind calling a 24 year old who lives with his parents, doesnt work, doesn't go to school, but plays games from morning till night, all in the name of "Games give me good reflexes". . .  childish.

So Pro Evolution 6 is out?  I didn't know that.

I mainly play PE5 and WE108.

I also heard the Female soccer is out.  Has anyone tried it out yet?  How's it like?

« #43 on: January 26, 2007, 11:02 PM »

I like WE108 'cozz the players move and run faster.  PE5 is kind of slow and I hate it when I have to exert so much force on the pad, forgetting that won't change anything.

As for the female soccer, I heard from a friend.

Re: The Gamer Stereotype

oh okay.

Actually, another thing I find annoying about PE5 is the officiating.  The refree blows the whistle at the slightest tackle.  It's even more annoying when you're losing.

JUST TO RELAX ALL TENSION AND REMAIN CALM,WHILE AWAY TIME AND ABOVE ALL TO JUST HAVE FUN WITH YOUR PALS THAT IS THE REASON WHY MOST BIG GUYS PLAY STEREOTYPED GAMES AND WHEN I MEAN GAMES NOT LITTLE GAMES BUT GAMES LIKE [PLAYSATION 1,2 OR 3] ETC. ESPECIALLY WE GUYS THAT ARE FOOTBALL FANS I.E GUNNERS,CHELSEA,LIVERPOOL,MAN.UTD.ETC.teejay

PES6 pisses me off at times.

There's little difference between PES06 and FIFA07 in terms of gameplay. Hell, FIFA06 competes squarely with PES6 in terms of gameplay. And as usual, graphic quality is better on the FIFA series.

Are games childish and for kids? No.

Do the majority of Nigerians agree? No.

Solution: Enjoy your games with your fellow gamers and pretend to be normal when around the muggles. Let gaming remain an 'insider cult' unlike anime which, thanks to Naruto, is now so mainstream that every tom privates and harry thinks he knows the meaning of kamehameha special. HAH!!!!!
