In no way am I against video games all together, it is just that so many people become addicted, and live sad lives (AND DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT)
If you don't realize your life is sad, how does that make it sad? If you are enjoying your life, what is the problem? Who are you to tell anyone what they need to do with their lives? What makes your life so happy? Do you just always shit rainbows simply because you don't play a Japanese game? Is World of Warcraft any better since it's not Japanese?
as a result of these games, most of the blame can be put on japanese and koreans, not saying that the US doesn't produce them as well.
More Americans play American based online games than Japanese and Korean based online games.
I felt I had to plague this site
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*breaths*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
because it has claimed many friends...and they live sad lives now as a result...this is not a random selection of sites.
So your old friends found new friends that aren't so racist and judgemental, and now you're all butthurt about it. You coming here to troll this site makes you a borderline stalker. And you want to call someone else sad for playing a video game.
Ask yourself this....how many of you have a girlfriend/boyfriend off this stupid game? and how many of those people have met with this person in the real world after meeting them online? Now how else can that be described other than SAD. (Don't compare this to online dating either)
Sooooo... You meet someone on a video game, then in real life, and decide you love this person. That's somehow sad because you should have met them in real life first? I could write an essay on how stupid this statement is, but no one will read it because everyone already knows. Don't get me wrong, calling someone you've know exclusivly inside a video game your boyfriend or girlfriend is taking it a bit far. But if these people meet in real life and have a connection, what's wrong with that?
This will probably be my last post, but think about what you are doing.
You fuckin quitter. Don't have the balls to finish what you started?
Sure you could watch TV all day, but does it have to be alone? Sure you could "make babies" LOL as one suggested, but not because you can, find someone to give your time to, someone to love or something...why do I have to give suggestions??
Because you are the one saying it's sad and pathetic to play Japanese online games. Playing this game is just another hobby. It's no different than building Model cars, collecting stamps, playing a guitar, or any other hobby. Oh wait, yes it is, it requires you to interact with human beings (that thing you are trying to do but failing at.) where most hobbys can be done alone. Oh shit, I almost forgot, it's a hell of a lot cheaper.
this is what I am talking about. Grow up. This does not apply to all of course, but most it does.
Grow up? So growing up consists of not doing things you think are fun and find someone to have some babies with? No thanks, I think I'll continue to be a responsible child. I work, I pay my bills, I have a girlfriend and I enjoy life. Once again I ask you, who the fuck are you to tell me I'm doing it wrong?
Find something other than "socializing" in front of a pc, it's very impersonal, which is why one uses told us he likes to make fun of others. Would he do it in real life? I highly doubt it, at least not to their face. This game is not socializing. That is an unfair argument because socializing involves people...and on the other end of the pc the other person is missing SO much and you are also missing SO much.
Did you ever stop to think about how much you miss through face to face interaction? Do you think everyone really says what they think when you are talking face to face? Do you not realize you are interacting with that persons "representative" that they have chosen to present theirself?
You don't get that online. People say what they think and feel. You could live with someone for a year and not know as much about them as you would find out in a week of online interaction. There is no reason to hold anything back online. If you want to who a person really is, and not who they choose to appear to be, talk to them online.
Glad I got 7 pages of posts. Makes me feel it was worth wasting my time. Hopefully the people I am targeting see it.
You got 7 pages of people telling you how fucking stupid you are. Negative attention is just as good as positive attention though, right? You have all the self respect of a retarded wooly mammoth in a Nine Inch Nails t-shirt. I bet your mom is real proud of you.
Go ahead argue against it. Come up with lame excuses like it "socializing" or "develops teamwork"...thats a very long shot...and you know as well as I do that it is a sad attempt.
Yes, you know all about the socializing and teamwork that doesn't happen inside a game you have never played.
And for you people who answered back using lingo from this stupid game...YOU ARE IDIOTS.
I have to agree with you there. You people that brought game lingo to a message board themed on said game are ... oh wait.
BTW - I am not a soccer mom, nor am I going to discuss my religious views with you, I am someone trying to save a select few. You other people are just extra. (kill two birds with one stone) And as conforming to the government...my favorite music is 60's protest songs...so you decide about that. I'm not one of these people who believe you should do everything the government tells you, like join wars...
Whatever. People like you can keep on laughing and ridiculing because people like us are different. We'll keep laughing because people like you are all the same.
Some of you people remind me of cocky little teens that have way too much time.
You think that has something to do with the fact that some people that post here are teenagers? Surely teenagers wouldn't act like teenagers...
Seriously though, you should schedule an appointment to get that stick removed from your ass. If someone wants to live their life this way, that is their choice. If you've lost friends to this game, that is your fault and you need to quit blaming the game for being more interesting than you. Learn how to not be a "grown up" all the god damn time. Live a litttle. Try something new. Did you forget why you used to play when you were a kid? Have you forgotten what it is like to truely enjoy yourself? Does it bother you so bad that you want to make everyone as unhappy as you have become yourself?
If you want to know what is truely pathetic, you don't need to be looking at people having fun playing a video game. You need to be looking in the mirror.
You like 60's protest songs? Try listening to the words to some of them. You think John Lennon would criticize people for doing what they love? You think arlo guthrie would tell us to grow up? Do you think Richie Haven gives a damn about what we do with our free time? Do you think John Sebastion would have everyone live life just like he does?
No, it's people like that who want us to be free and do whatever we want as long as we aren't hurtin anyone else.
Why must every generation think they're folks are square?
And no matter where they're heads are, they know mom's aint there.
Cause' I swore when I was small, that I'd remember when,
I knew what's wrong with them, that I was smaller than.
Determined to remember all the cardinal rules.
Like, sunshowers are legal grounds, for cutting school.
I know I have forgotten maybe one or two.
And I hope that I recall them all before the baby's due.
And I'll know he'll have a question or two.
Like, hey pop. Can I go ride my zoom?
It goes twohundred miles an hour, suspended on baloons.
And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tounge?
And imagine puffing dragons, while you sit and wreck your'e lungs.
And I must me permissive, understanding of the younger generation.
And then I know that all I've learned, my kid assumes.
And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons.
And still I'll try to tell him all the things I've done,
relating to what he can do when he becomes a man.
And still he'll stick his fingers in the fan.
And hey pop, my girlfriend's only three.
She's got her own bitty phone,
and she's taking LSD.
And now that were best friends, she want's to give a bit to me.
But whats the matter daddy? How come your'e turning green?
Can it be that you can't live up to your dreams?
