If videogames never existed

[heyheysg]

How would your life be different? Let's say Pong wasn't invented, Shigeru Miyamoto decided to become a plumber instead and Tim Schafer got rejected from Lucasarts.

A pretty different universe, maybe more music, more art, more dance-y thingy stuff.

Anyway, imagine this universe without videogames at all, where would you put your 20+ hours a week into?

I'm sure there'd be something else, maybe it's not been invented because of video games. Who knows?

 

[ma55ter_fett]

I'd be more fit and have a girlfriend.

So basically I'd be miserable

 

[Punisher A.J.]

Watching T.V..... just sayin.

 

[neoman10]

better grades primarily

 

[Macgyvercas]

PnP Dungeons & Dragons, anyone? Hey, you never said pen and paper RPG hadn't been invented

 

[Punisher A.J.]

I'd be more fit and have a girlfriend.

So basically I'd be miserable

I'm already misrable.... I have nothing to lose!!!!
I'm not gonna kill myself over it, just saying I would take more risks.

That. Some other form of entertainment would be invented.

 

[Zhandarr]

This is a frightening world you are envisioning my friend.

 

[gRiM_rEaPeRsco]

uhh.. i would probably just kill myself

thats not overly dramatic

 

[Eliam_Dar]

I would problaly get more comic books and fantasy books (which I already own in great numbers), so... I will still be what I am

 

[Rascarin]

I would not want to live in such a world.

 

[geon106]

I'd probs watch more tv, have more money and spend more time with friends and family.

But I wouldn't have experienced the things you can only experience in a computer game.

 

[ResiEvalJohn]

I would have made better use of my time - made more friends, developed other marketable skills, and slept with more attractive women. Shit... It's too late to go back now though ^^

 

[Kollega]

It would suck to live in a world where videogames never came to be. And you would never know how much the world has missed. And there would be no Escapist Magazine.

OMG FATEWORSETHANDEATH!

 

[The_ModeRazor]

I wouldn't care.
Also, I'd have more friends and better social skills.
So yeah, I would just be one of those faceless things who fit right in society. I'm glad it didn't turn out like that.

 

[Ryuk2]

TV and internet forums, what else?

 

[War Penguin]

I would go outside.

Outside?!? Aren't there bears outside?!?

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

I would probably be less of a video game nerd and go into the darker realm of being a full Dungions and Dragions nerd (right now, I'm just a Demi-D&D-Nerd who uses the activity to enjoy some time on fridays)

 

[Emperor Inferno]

We would still be pushing a hoop with a stick.

...

With a STICK.

...

STICK.
