Game Freak, ? lol i'll leave u guys to decide if i'm one.

Ma Parents never really liked us playing games. and they never did get us one
lol, i remember when both ma parents travelled one weekend, me n my brother borrowed a SNES
console from a friend with just 2 catridges (Donkey Kong+MK3). We practically stayed awake 24 hours in front of the t.v.
all we did waz go to the restroom and for food? we ate bread all along.

Another crazy incident i remember, i borrowed a GameBoy from a big bully in sec schl  back then. Then guess what ? Ma dad seized it from me that same night, He hid it in his room. I wz so scared of facin d bully d next day, because he had only given me 4 a day. I did the craziest thin in my life, i sneaked in ma dad's room n searched every where for the game. i found it eventually where he hid it, now instead of me to jst return it quietly. i wz so tempted n started playin back in my room again and guess what, my dad opens the door and catches me red-handed with d game he had hidden so well.
i guess u knw what happnd, dt night

i still play games rite now, but mostly on my laptop. i bin playing fifa since fifa 2002 n now am stuck on  fifa 07. i also enjoy playin hitman, max payne, medal of honor. but my fav is always soccer games.

i rily don't think playin games is childish. many games require adult thinkin. its also fun challenging friends on 2playa games. if ther's anythin i look 4wrd to , its playin these games with ma kids.

@Gtay
Nice story! I too used to sneak into my dad's room to retrieve all my seized games. Not sure Solid Snake could do it better. I wasn't always successful however; 2 weeks ago my bro called me to say they found an old Game Boy in the house  Grin.

I think i saw my first video game in 1991 or so, my neighbours were playing Double dragon on NES, i was so tripped!! When the guy upgraded to SNES, i almsot became a part of the family, i kept dashing over there everyday. After the guy bouoght SF 2 turbo, you'd see like 40 pairs of slippers and shoes outside their door.

Funny enough, i could never afford to get these games myself. When i finally saved up to buy a SNES, N64 and Psx came out. when i finally saved up to get a PSX, DReamcast came out, when i saved up for the DC, the Ps2 came out. I finally ended up buying 2 ps2s.

Now i've got a ps3 and an xbox360 and i hardly even have time to play 'em anymore  Grin

PE6 reminds me of the Legend PE4. The game is the bomb. PE6 is like a clone of PE4 totally compared to PE5 Angry. I played it yesterday and I was like, damn my game is back to life.

PE6 is simply cool Cool

my parents never seized any console from me because there was nothing to sieze. they never bought any console in the first place. nowadays i play games on my laptop. i'm mostly into retro gaming(old school games), arcade emulators and past console emulators. trying to catch up with all the great hits that i missed back then when everybody was playing snes and i was playing virtual snes( in my head)

7:20 a.m - Neo gets a heartattack

7:50a.m - gbade gives him a bucket of sepe as the remedy

8:15 a.m - we are both stoned as fcuk on sepe, hiccuping, singing the National Anthem vice-versa, and playing Ayo as an alternative to them bitchass consoles

8:32 a.m- Neoteny pisses on his pants while weeping he had never felt this "happy" after the bucket of sepe.
