I haven't played live in a long while, but I love Halo2 online.

Me = bummed out

bummer $:-\$ Haven't played halo 2 in awhile, but I'd like to think I could if I ever got the itch.

I'd be concerned if I weren't a PC/ PS3 guy. In all fairness though: (right click view image for full)

Nothing like a forced upgrade.

^ True.

I own a PS2, and it's the only console I've ever owned. I've got some friends who own an XBox 360. They come over sometimes and we kill a few hours on Halo/2, Modern Warfare 2, etc...

The only console multiplayer I care about is the kind that happens in my living room. If I'm going to play strangers over the interwebs, I just fire up the computer.

I thought video games were for teenagers?

I'm just sayin'.....

They're the only ones with enough time to be any good at them.

Monsterlover · February 06, 2010, 09:39:56 AM

Nope, grown men too.

For me it's a winter thing when I can't ride or don't want to be outside and frozen.

I can only take so much TV

you thought wrong.. if you look at any of the research, it's very much an adult-driven industry.

"hey d00d, u suck!!1"

"Very true, random 14 year old. But I also have to split my time up between work, seeing the girl, going downtown with friends, trying to become a writer, and generally living a life. This game sorta gets the short shrift."

The faceless douches you find in multiplayer games are never that civil.

I just think it's stupid, that's all.

Read a book instead.

Volunteer somewhere.

I'm not a gamer, but I think it has become the softball league of the 21st century. Instead of socalizing at the field, drinking beer, and blowing out your knee trying to take down the other 40 year old accountants...

you drink beer, socialize over your headset, while slaughtering zombies, and getting killed by 8 year olds
