Hmm, join a new forum, how to wean yourselves off forums/gaming :D

Lol I was already addicted to gaming so no worries, it can mostly fit in around real life ;)

The longer the quit, the less you'll need this forum Kat, I promise. You keep clinging to it if you need to.:)

Oh my Jane

How are you managing waiting for GTA-V?

218 days and counting each and every one of them down. I love GTA. Nifty, another common denominator :D

Oh pish!

I thought gaming was real life! pfft!

:D

Isn't funny how gamers have got older than they used to be?

Probably as we can now afford all the gear that wasn't even invented when we were kids.........

I remember batting that white dot across the screen for hours and thought it was awesome!

Or pulling back on a joystick (ooohhh matron .. noooo!) to make a little guy on a bike jump over some buses!! (is it buses or busses....or bussesses?)

Until of course we pulled the joystick to pieces!!!

Sorry...rambling again...I'll fetch my coat! :D

Yeah Jane...they put it back didn't they?...the swines!!

Ooooohhhh damn them pesky games developers!!

At the risk of sounding an extreme nutter...and please .... nobody call the police...this isn't real..... :rolleyes:

Never thought I would enjoy visiting a ... ahem ... lady of the night....only to .. ahem ... ask for your money back after the transaction!! ...... then going to rob a bank!

Ahhhh ... we won't see days like that again!

:eek: Did I just say all that out loud?!? eek!

:D

Do you play on xbox live by any chance, if so what's your gamer tag?

:(

No I'm probably a Playstation fanboy Jane.

Well .... I was a Sega fanboy before that....got involved in the whole "saturn is better than the PS1"

Then they brought out the Dreamcast ... which ... let's face it ... was a bit sh1t!! :D

I don't really do multiplayer .... got sick of getting my arse kicked by 8 year olds! haha!

Didn't do a lot for my self esteem and cost a bloody fortune in handsets ... luckily the TV avoided most of the damage!!

:D

I had a Sega as a youngster, I actually only recently sold by Vectrex on EBay, got a good price too:)

I know what you mean about multiplayer, my 8 year old son whips my ass every time, then I get my hair off with him, and tell him it's bedtime.:D so I can play on my own.

I never really played much multiplayer, didn't have good enough pc when I was younger then didn't have xbox gold when I first got one of them. Used to play a mmporg and team up together with people then but always got interrupted by the boy when he was smaller. Now he's 8 he plays one of these kids versions with monkeys, while I try to play Fallen Earth, which is a post-apocalyptic mmporg, but to be honest I prefer being able to pause / turn off the xbox whenever I get interrupted for the 8th time in 20 minutes to go find socks, or where's my wallet, or take the dog out, or can i have a drink mummy, or would you like a quote for new windows, or to talk to you about the problems with your windows pc..?!?

I do like having peace and quiet! Hubby has taken the boy to school and the dog is with them - so finally some time to myself (the cat is mostly well behaved!). Might put some Assassins Creed 3 on later as haven't played any in aaaages. That or Skyrim, I reckon....

Oh despite me not playing multiplayer if anyone on xbox wants to add me to nosy at my gamerscore or what games I play or anything, I'm Clairefun on there too - in fact I'm that everywhere (facebook, flickr, twitter etc) so feel free to add me! :)

I've done the same thing Jane!!

One of my friends got me into GTA years ago - with a dodgy copy of GTA2 back when we were in school :eek: - and we play GTA IV together quite a bit. It's another thing that's good about not smoking though 'cos I'm not always diving out for a fag in the middle of a game.

Actually, I've always been moaning about how my rubbish laptop won't run most games so maybe that's another good use for my fag money!!
