Gaming is the S**t and i dont think i will ever stop no matter the age, or will the passion ever reduce. Cartoons too especially animes. Just happy to know i still have bros and sis in the biz. |

Game Freak, ? lol i'll leave u guys to decide if i'm one. Ma Parents neva really liked us playing games. and they neva 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 nite, He hid it in his room. I wz so scared of facin d bully d next day, cos 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 nite 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 dont tink 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 . 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 enuff, 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 |

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

texazzpete: Just yesterday, i came back from work, all stressed out and i settled down to unwind with my PSP. ever since i started emulating Playstation games on my PSp, i haven't been able to put down Street Fighter EX2. anyway, i was playing away when a pal wandered in and told me "So you haven't outgrown such small children's games?" Absolutely, in fact I have a thread about (see my profile for the link ) I don't even care what people think. It's only because my consoles are in storage that I don't play games as often as I like and have to resort to watching walk-throughs or going to my friend's house to appease my "game rush". People can call me childish but that's because they don't know me. I live my life. Work during the week AND battle school work and go out occasionally. I deserve the right to treat myself by surfing the net and playing video games. It my life. At least I am not ripping and running the streets like most low-lifes in my age group. |
