Out of Curiosity, Who out there Plays No Video Games? 21:16 - Apr 27 with 2970 viewsDavillin

Out of curiosity, who among you plays no video games - online or from media?

Quite a few years ago, I enjoyed a flight simulator which included aerial combat, but then decided if I couldn't have a reasonably full cockpit [stick, throttle, rudder pedals, at least], it wasn't for me. I also enjoyed a tank battle simulation, but it became too simplistic and predictable.

Never played Football Manager or anything like it.

And you?

I don't care. I'm old. I don't have to.

Books, records and cigarettes. When you've got Dickens, Jimmie Rogers and Lucky Strike as your constant companions you've neither time nor need for other distractions.

An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

I can't remember how many years ago I last played a video game...

As a 50 yr old I think it's a bit childish to play them

OK, Ill step up and say that I Play Fifa 2014 regularly on a PS4. I play on line against other players around the world. I play as Swansea and score most goals by running Dyer down the wing, crossing to Bony who scores with his head ......... Im in my 40's so might be considered to old to be playing games ..........

Not for me, i have better things to do with my life!

Though I did have a passing fad for all things Wii, but that passed having grown very bored with the repetitive type of games.

I rather enjoy sim racing and have a rig with wheel, pedals and shifter with a 24" triple monitor setup.

When I'm not kicking ass on the racing circuit I enjoy playing military tactical simulators such as Arma 2 / 3 or a bit zombie apocalypse simulation with Day Z.

I prefer fresh air, reading, drinking and gambling plus the love of a good woman.

Many women have left their partners because they only saw the back of their heads due to overplaying Xbox etc.

To all gamers out there dont bother getting a partner unless they share your fascination.

And dont take drugs!(see Perchrock's typing lately....)

I love my games and will do for the rest of my life.

Interesting to hear why people think they are so childish. Very similar to watching movies in my opinion, only more interactive whilst sat on one's behind.

I quit due to being bored at being good at it.. Football games = keep possession (play the Swansea way).. FPS.. Sound, technique, patience, survival, instinct, bottle, awareness, aiming, addiction, and just knowing.. RPG.. Patience, studying stratergies, never give in attitude, communication and knowing you're opponents strengths and weaknesses.. You can learn a lot from console games.. But I wouldn't recommend it.

The awkward moment when a Welsh Club become the Champions of England.. shh The Swansea Way.. To upset the odds.

I do all the normal every day things too and probably "waste" as much time gaming as others do on internet forums. ;)

In all seriousness, my misses doesn't mind me disappearing to my gaming room maybe a couple of nights a week, she gets a chance to catch up on TV and we both appreciate the space sometimes.

Always found this a strange attitude, probably coming from people who have never tried playing games (and therefore shouldn't comment) or aren't very good at them when they have tried.

I've played games all my life. I have a fiancee and a 1-yeard old son. I'm an ex-librarian and read more books than the average person. I also enjoy films, TV shows, sports, going to the gym, travelling, cooking and various other interests.

I also don't castigate people who enjoy something I don't.

Anyone who says I don't have a real life because I like games can take a running jump off a high cliff.

Also, I'm obviously also a bit sensitive on this topic.
