TURE GAMERS ONLY

edited 2012-07-04 00:50:45 in General
Yeah I'm so sick of these untrue gamers. "Casual" gamers, old people trying to figure out the wii, little kids. These people are just leaching on gaming and making it trendy. Destroying the good name of gaming with their inexperience. I was playing Adventure from Atari while they were still oohing and awwing over the record player. Also those peoples with their Game Genies were stupid. I totally beat the E.T. game in less than an hour. All uyou gamers nowadays just don't have the skill, imagination, attention span or memory to do what I did back in the day.
This thread is stupid and made in complete jest.

  • And here we run into a truly majestic creature.

    The gamer.

    Not alot of information is known about the gamer, as they tend to hibernate a lot in the summer, when people are usually enjoying themselves outside.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I've never played E.T. although, strangely enough, I do have a cartridge of it...

    Sure am glad I'm not a gamer anymore. Girls will come within twenty feet of me now

  • I kind of feel it's unfair that gamers get shunted into either the "antisocial dick" category or the "hipster" category.

    I play games all the time. :/

    ^^I mostly made this thread because I was getting shit for being a "casual gamer and not a true gamer" like the person talking. I don't necessarily think there should be categories for the intensity of a person who plays games. Because it's stupid and kind of like dick waving

    Nearly everything I love is fake. Video games,

    Video games don't exist, merely a fabrication of the mind.

    What about somebody who doesn't play games, but will watch literally hundreds of videos of someone else playing them?
  • Well that is stupid.

    But I do think that there are some valid criticisms of casual gaming.

    For instance I think it often tends to underestimate its audience (as do many other media). But I'm not going to "give you shit" for being "casual", that's silly.

    I don't.

    Casual *games* (games designed to be "casual") on the other paw, maybe.

    That's more or less what I meant.

  • Some of them, yes. Especially ones that pander to "hardcoreness".

    eg. I Wanna Be The Guy, which despite its assorted accolades approaches unplayability.

    The same could be said of "hardcore" games. :]

     
    perhaps the same could be said of ALL games

    ^x7 Well, it's even the fact that I was getting labeled. Okay, someone doesn't play as many games...so what? Aren't games for enjoyment? Yes, you can critique the gaming industry for the quality of games being produced now and a ton of other shit. But, people who have varying levels of enjoyment of video games, I think is dumb. Now, gamers who are stupid, disrespectful, unwarranted in boasting, etc. is a different story.

    I thought I Wanna Be The Guy's borderline unplayability was kind of the joke.

    I kind of feel it's unfair that gamers get shunted into either the "antisocial dick" category or the "hipster" category.

    I play games all the time. :/

    I think this is increasingly less the case, and casual gaming is, if anything, the reason.

  • Well that's the thing, it works as a joke, but not really as a game.

    Just once I'd like a "true gamer" to come out and say "I was beating off to Custer's Revenge YEARS before people figured out the code to get Samus in a bikini." 
  • Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast
    Sure am glad I'm not a gamer anymore. Girls will come within twenty feet of me now
    Only 20ft?

    Well, I am a gamer and women have touched me in my special place.
  • I'm just here to gay the place up
    You just need to find yourself a gamer as hardcore as you who also will have sex with you and love you :)
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.

     I totally beat the E.T. game in less than an hour.
    You're really bad at the game then

    It takes like 10 minutes at most

    Also my mom enjoyed the hell out of that ET 2600 game. As a kid I found it enjoyable too. Then again, my tolerance for shit is pretty high up there, from the Super Pitfall (NES) faq at gamefaqs:
    I am going to assume that this game is like the original Super Mario Brothers,
    in that when you beat the 1st Quest, you get a 2nd Quest that is like the 1st,
    but with a few changes and then the 2nd Quest just repeats over and over.

    I really wish there was a concrete ending, but I'm afraid there is not.

    HOWEVER...

    I received an email from Ethan Forsythe that said the
    following:

    "...you do get a special bonus if you collect all the gold - at the ending
    screen it simply adds the words 'Perfect' before 'Congratulations'".

    Being skeptical of this, I mentioned it on a message board and Super-friend
    Skrybe (http://64.53.95.207/) dug through the ROM for the game's script and
    came up with the following message:

    "PERFECT CONGRATULATION YOU COMPLETED THE ADVENTURE THE LOST CAVERNS PERFECTLY
    PLEASE TRY ANOTHER WORLD"

    Soooooo, Mr. Forsythe, you are absolutely correct...sorry if I ever doubted
    you.

    You have *no idea* how weird that post is for me.

    Oh well if you need any tips please don't ask me, that game requires refined trainspotting/anorak skills that I've let atrophy over the years

    God, I want to find whoever coded that mess and ask him WHY
  • Oh no, it's actually pretty much the only video game she's ever played. She doesn't play it anymore, obviously.

    If you try to enjoy yourself outside this summer, there's about a 80% chance of melting.
  • Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast
    HA!

    I don't think so sonny boy

    Its been the wettest and the dullest June on record.

    IGNORANT FOOL! Don't you SEE!? It's wet because people are melting.

    You are wading around in blended people juices.
