1. Whats-a-matta-with-ya? Broad brush generalizations are meant for the lounge!

Silly!

[rockymountaindem]

2. Broad-brush statements aren't allowed in GD?

That's the secret? Also, IBTL.

[Starry Messenger]

3. IBTL.

Plus you left out that women also play video games.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. It isn't wise to question the moderators' decisions...

This thread is likely to be locked as well...

Just sayin'...

[Mind_your_head]

9. Well, I LOVE the mods....but some things REALLY NEED to be discussed, imvho.

A LOT of things really need to be discussed out in the open....once and for all. *Cleansing*, and all of that 'good stuff'!

[LiberalPersona]

5. What is the point of this thread? /nt

[Starry Messenger]

7. Maybe he needs experience points for a level.

[Occam Bandage]

26. Your party has encountered a lvl. 4 troll. nt

[City of Mills]

6. Lame

What's your point? Pick better guys to spend your time with.

IBTL

[TexasObserver]

8. It should have been. This one, too.

It was a dumb thread, a stupid generalization, and you're apparently clueless about the rules here.

[Mind_your_head]

12. Blackheart n/t

[TexasObserver]

17. Continuation of a broad brush smear

You made and hold a nasty stereotype about today's young men. Get over it.

[Mind_your_head]

22. Not true. I'm not a "man hater" at all.

[Mind_your_head]

24. Wasn't this thread LOCKED???

I'm 'confused' now!

[yurbud]

10. you're fishing in the wrong pond.

[ogneopasno]

11. Good thing we have message boards -- that's where the real work gets done, right?

[Mind_your_head]

13. Sometimes, yes! n/t

[BuyingThyme]

14. Locking...

I don't play video games.

[AndrewP]

15. I just love the new Baseball Mogul 2009.

I think some of the outfielders ratings are a little high, but over a 162 game simulated schedule it comes close to working out in the end.

Do you have any daughters around 35? Can I meet them? Are they great ticklers?

Also, does she like Torii Hunter?

Thanks,

I'll go do my best to live up to your standards now. Since that is really what I am living for.

[anigbrowl]

16. My girlfriend is much better at videogames than I am

She's also smarter than you.

[omega minimo]

18. There's always Twitter

[Mr. Hyde]

19. It's probably better than some of the activities they might partake in these days.

People used to sit around and play monopoly. Then it was D & D. Now they play video games. What's the big fucking deal?

[flvegan]

20. Locking.

Continuation of a broad brush smear and general douchebaggery is against DU rules.

[IntravenousDemilo]

21. It was sexist. n/m

[wuushew]

23. Why do you oppose equality of misery between the sexes?

The video game players win and guys looking for dates can feel better about women having the same difficulty as they.

[Occam Bandage]

25. Goodbye.

[leftstreet]

27. Meh. I see the princess is not in this chamber. reset

[Starbucks Anarchist]

28. ...

[Occulus]

33. LOL n/t

[LeftyMom]

29. That's because it's sexist and a broadbrush smear. It's also full of shit, but if threads got locked

for that alone, there'd be tumbleweeds blowing through GD.

[Juche]

30. I play video games all the time

I also have a college degree and a job. Whats your point?

Just so you know, men aren't interested in women who are judgmental and controlling anymore than women are into men who are lazy and apathetic.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

31. Hah, my 30 something girlfriend does nothing but play video games

I phoned her this afternoon and she had been playing the new biker gang grand theft auto for 15 hours straight.

It really doesn't bother me,

[parasim]

32. You just don't know where to look.

My oldest, 25, a working designer, and his wife just had a baby and bought a house yet sometimes still play videogames together, and my youngest (21, single) who's a mountain bike mechanic at a ski/mountain bike shop and is now on a cross-country mountain bike tour to MOAB and Sedona and also plays bass in a bluegrass band, would beg to differ with the notion that all they do is play videogames.

[Occulus]

34. I *triple dog dare you* to go post the original thread in "Games & Technology" at Penny Arcade.

I *dare* you.

[dysfunctional press]

35. we got a wii over 6 months ago, and it's still in the box.

i am by far, NOT a gamer.

but- i guess i'm not young anymore either.

[MilesColtrane]

36. Yeah, I'm downtown. You know where I can take a leak at this hour?

"You got a balloon on you, pal?"

Sorta

"Un hunh"

[DireStrike]

37. I'd post, but gotta run, my party is attempting a tough dungeon.

[pinto]

38. Locking.

Continuation of a locked thread.
