Grown Men That Play Video Games...Yes or No?

[Grape Ape]

Seems every time I tried to play CoD I would wind up in a lobby of Mexicans who did nothing but yell the entire time (and die).

Ever watch westerns?  That's what Mexicans do.

But, party chat has eliminated a lot of listening to others, which is both good and bad.

Like the adult man who reads comic books, a grown man who has time to play video games is not really a man at all.

What about your time spent creating threads about other men? That’s surely a manly endeavor and considered time well spent, right? It’s gotta be right up there with sucking cock chopping wood.

I loved gaming until puberty hit and I kinda checked out. Can't get back in to it and I've tried numerous times.

It seems like it gets harder to find and do things you enjoy the older you get. If you still enjoy gaming then I'd say consider yourself lucky.

Fighting apathy is a real thing.

No. Played video games up until mid 20's and gave them up cold turkey. Way too much time wasted with no return.

really, what do real men do, chop wood in the backyard? lol

Hunt wild game for food and war against other tribes, rape, pillage, etc

I have off and on my entire life, i'm not very social.

Nothing wrong with playing for couple hours here and there.

Same as watching a movie or tv show.

I built a driving simulator for iRacing and other driving games. Wheel, stick, pedals, real feedback. Pro drivers use them.

Cost a bit but it's a lot of fun and very realistic.

Some of my friends will stop by on the weekends to use it sometimes. And we are all over 40.

Occasionally maybe on a weekend night for a few hours in the winter when fuck all else to do and fuck all on the telly. Just go on single player games none online. Never bothered for years but gave it a go again after having kids and stopped going on the piss every weekend and was stuck in the house. Don’t see the harm in it even my dad had an Xbox haha

I have seen attorney's that play video games and their wives are miserable but put up with it. You can argue that they put up with it because the husband makes money. I've also seen politicians that do the same and again, wife is upset with the behavior but takes it.

Great series of games (the main ones that is) a few of them were duds but great overall the remake of the first ever one is best of the lot imo

I hadn’t played video games in years but I recently got an Xbox and the only game I have currently is forza 5.  It’s pretty cool, has like 700 cars or so.  All real cars from all the different car companies and you can modify the heck out of them.  I can’t do the games where you dump hours or days into a character like an rpg game, I just like to be able to pick up and play a game then be done with it.  I might try the new halo game next.  But, I do agree with the OP, video games a waste of time for most people.  Unless of course you’re one of these streamers making a ton of money playing them.

What are we supposed to be accomplishing? I don't want to be a President. Am I supposed mow the lawn all day, or work on my car, or chop wood.?

This.Monks are the happiest people on earth, scientifically tested, and they spend half the day just meditating and focusing on being present.

Would love to play some games with Henda

nothing but a bunch of outdated stereotypes that haven't been true since the early 90's in this thread

if you don't like video games you don't like having fun

how is it anymore of a "time waster" than watching tv or youtube, using the internet, social media or any other hobby for that matter?  every hobby can be called a "time waster", do we really need to use every second of the day to work or make money?

red dead redemption 2 and the last of us have better stories and character development than any movie i've seen in the last 20 years

i think golf is silly, boring, and overpriced yet every rich guy i've ever met loves it so i guess that is more acceptable since it is associated with rich guys

as for women, many women these days play video games too so that is another outdated stereotype

The last video game I think I played was with this baby. A couple of my friends had it.
