Video Games suck
I'm 19 years old. Been a video games fan for years. The last couple of years though I've really lost interest.

Recently, I was playing X-box over at my friends house and I just couldn't take it anymore. I just said, "You know what...this sucks ass!"

I'm getting rid of my playstation and all of my games. I just had this great enlightenment never to play again ever. I don't know what I ever saw in them in the first place.

I hope this isn't an indication that I'm getting old or something? :D

1. Don't worry. You're not getting old.
You're getting a brain. My 19-yr-old nephew plays constantly and I doubt he'll ever quit playing. I have more hope for my niece (16) and other nephew (13).

Congratulations!

4. LOL
I am looking to sell I suppose. There's not much but if you're serious in looking to buy Playstation 1 games, let me know. That's all I have.

3. they've been sucking for years and years
i'm an old idiot, but they've been sucking since after the SNES.

games just seemed to have something about them that's just sort of gone now, for most part.

i could make further observation, but it would jeopardize my plans for global control...

5. Have you ever tried the classics? Those that were around before you were b

Getting the arcade ROMs is kinda hard due to the Copyright Stormtroopers, but it's doable. You may like to explore the video game world your parents lived in.

6. Pong!
Check out "Pong," Gyopsy. We played Pong with the Bay City Rollers playing on the radio. :7

7. I did enjoy Pac-Man
I must admit, those games I still enjoy to an extent. These high-graphics games are the ones I absolutely can't stand. I don't think I'll ever really be "into" video games the same way again though.

8. you are right to some extent
I don't believe video games suck, they are just another form of entertainment. I used to play video games all the time back when I lived at home. Since then, the few years I have been on my own, I just do not have the time, money or patience for video games. I still love playing good games but they just don't hold the same draw as they once did. However, if a good on comes out, I won't hesitate to try it.
