I stink at any type of gaming. Seriously, I have the eye-hand coordination of a statue. You should hear me butcher the songs on Guitar Hero.

Ahh Guitar Hero took over our christmas...

Bit sick of it now though... you get so far and then you start to think surely I would be better off investing this time learning to play a real instrument?

Alternatively you can just drink more beer to numb the pain of RSI and continue trying to master Dragonforce on Expert!

Expert... who am I kidding? We haven't got through it on medium yet Shocked

Behold! Gamer speak!...I deal out uber pwnage on the n00bs on BF2, i r 1337 haxx0r. Razz
Or i did...(bastard "friend")

never tried GH, I prefer to play real instruments. I would give it a try tho. Seems like COD4 is the new BF2, but i think it sux cos it hasn't got any vehicles. (I like tanks Razz )

Yeah I must admit I am getting a bit tired of dishing out pwnage to smacktards on BF2, been playing it for 2 years now... oh the things I could have done with that time!

I've just completed COD4 single player, gonna give the multiplayer a try and if I like it we might invest in another copy then me and the Mr can starting dishing out pwnage to smacktards on that instead Twisted Evil

You should get your copy back from that bastard "friend" and we'll start an Elbow clan... elbownage has a ring to it Wink

As the most recent game I ever played was Shenmue on the Dreamcast, I have no idea what any of you are on about.

All I need is MAME and a Spectrum emulator and I'm happy.

I'm equally as perplexed as Lee Spoons scratch

I thought i was verging on turning pro at Tennis after some storming performances on the Wii....that is until my 7 year old thrashed the hell out of me.
Ah well, looks like Wimbledon's out....


The Spectrum emulator brings back some childhood memories, and also serves to remind me how crap graphics used to be !

I have bouts of retro gaming on MAME but usually get bored really quickly and go back to fragging...

Had a BBC Model B back in the day, loved it and spent hours playing Chucky Egg and Elite Very Happy

Then I conned my parents into buying me an Amiga cos I could do C programming for my degree on it... honestly thats ALL I will be using it for study

Eventually I 'borrowed' a PC from work and sent the Amiga to a charity shop, they looked most nonplussed with it.

Think the first game I played on the PC was Star Trek TNG A Final Unity... 'Do you want to hear my Pluvoids Sing?!?'. alien

I used to, then my friend made a private server, I was a GM, and all the fun was suddenly sucked out of the game. When I quit, I realised what a waste of life it is. (no offense to you)

"Fragging" sounds like something pervy to do with Fraggles Shocked

It was never 20 minutes to load a Speccy game though (apart from those Firebird ones that loaded about 2 bytes at a time), that was the Commodore 64!

None taken - I'm always looking for fresh ways to waste my time and I've found that WoW does it pretty well Very Happy
My flatmate claims that I should play Counter Strike or die - I've never played it. Anyone that plays that here?

I used to play Counter Strike, but found it very frustrating because when you die, you have to wait for the whole round to finish before you can play again. That's why I prefer BF2, because of respawning.

I believe that the term "fragging" originally came about from people using Frag Grenades in games. This quickly encompassed eerything in the FPS gaming world to do with killing another player.

Although, Fraggles are highly sexual....
