Dude, you need to get a GameCube.

Ummm....ok

I've found myself lately playing games on my Xbox much more than on my PC. In the past, I would buy consoles only to be able to play sports games. Now, the only games I play on my PC are FPS. And there are a lot of Xbox games that I want. I don't know if its so much that I have changed or consoles have changed. PS2 is pretty cool but there hasn't been a game recently that I have wanted to purchase. Gamecube is boring. Use my Dreamcast to play all of my Nintendo and Super Nintendo ROMS.

BTW, I met Fatal1ty before. He is a pretty cool guy. Here is his website if you want it:

my freshman year i used to spend wayyyyy tooo much time gaming (mostely cs and some Q3). I then got out of it my Soph year but then just got back into playing CS. Its sooo much fun but then after you've been playing for like 5 - 8 hrs at a time, u then realize that you've acomplished nothing

About the only game I play any more is Golden Tee. I have a PS2 and Gamecube, and a pretty up to date computer. However, once you get hooked on Golden Tee, there isn't anything that compares.

You end up going down at 3:00 pm to shoot a game or two over lunch with a buddy. That turns into 7:00 because the matches are close and your both playing good. Couple more guys come in and you start playing money games. The whole time your drinking some beer and hanging out with good friends. About 10:00 or so, a big hitter comes down and gets in the action. Gambling is increased. You get home around 2:00. My addiction has been so bad that I was out playing 6 nights a week. I've walked home up as much as $150, and I've lost $70 or 80 in a night. Online tournaments are a good way to make some money if you're serious about it. So, it ends up paying for itself hopefully. When it becomes more than something you play once a week when at the bar, it's addicting. When it's the reason you're going out to the bar 5 nights a week, it's the best video games ever made.

I need to stay home more often...

At least your having fun, going out socialising in real life, getting some fresh air, drinking and making some money:D

It ain't bad at all.

I use to game so much on the SNES. Play a lot of games about 3-4hrs a day each day. This was of course back when I was about 9 or 10. So no getting out of the house and my area was dangerous also. Also no homework to do. Now I hardly ever game. Only game when my friends are over.

The games now a days are less inspiring and and *just fun* to play. psx I played a lot also. Ps2 less so. Well TTT and T4 and GT3 are the main games I play:D
