Is this really what young gamers these days are becoming

[Captain_Fantastic]

the stereotypical old guy who thinks all kids are idiots and all teenagers are out to kill him or corrupt the world.

yup that about sums up a regular tuesday afternoon for me

Becoming? LOL.


Then again on the other side is that MP games cannot be "paused" yet because of ignorance some think all games can be "paused"

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Yes, We are that bad. /Some type of vauge sarcasm

Being 15, you could say I represent the young gamer community. If the statement was true, I would be happily married multiple times. I'm sure it was just stupid children being stupid children.

Just a quick question, though. How old is the person who wrote the comment? That might solve your dilemma.

How romantic! Then I must have found THE ONE because he sent me an email with 8-bit flowers in it. *inserts more sarcastic comments* Honestly, I'd disregard it because it was on facebook.

soon to be 19 young by some standards but i still consider myself old enough to hate youth without a good reason. SO HAH I TWIRL MY MUSTACHE AND LAUGH AT YOUR MISFORTUNE!!!!!

Oh my god, some teenage girl on Facebook said that. This is in no way indicative of fucking anything. At all. Do you see the inane things people post on that book of faces? Particularly teenage girls? Why is there a thread about this?

I think it's a work of satire meant to console all the girls who mistake their boyfriend's desire to play video games for a desire to be away from them.

Also the girls who were genuinely neglected by their boyfriends for video games, I just find that to be far less common.

So no, I'm pretty sure it's a joke made by girls who think guys care too much about video games.

 

[IronicBeet]

Man, it's a joke. This is like when all those feminist groups thought that Duke Nukem was glorifying the objectification of women instead of parodying it.

 

[FunKing]

It's just another Facebook girl status, nothing to get uppity about.
No real discussion value in this thread though...

agreed

 

[Cain_Zeros]

Pages like that are more of a joke based on "let's stereotype men as completely absorbed in video games to the exclusion of all else, including their significant other". I'm sure there are guys like that, but they aren't nearly as common as they'd need to be for the joke to actually work.

You know, that group right there?

Its not a serious thing. Its a pisstake of a few people who do forget to text back while gaming (me included, but I don't usually hear the phone go off).

Things haven't changed, you're just taking some people having a laugh far to seriously.

Edit:

This thread has been up for about a minute and some of the replies are quite eye opening. Look people, facebook has these pages you can make. Many people use them to make jokes which usually over exaggerate a behavior.

This isn't anything new. Nobody actually believes that crap.

Edit edit:

In fact, here's one of the page's in question.

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=219144315046

Of course now its completely covered in spam (that tends to happen, my page however, hasn't because I keep banning the fuckers) but i'm sure if you go far enough down you'll see the people over exaggerating like crazy because to them and by extension of that, most people who understand that type of humour, it's funny.

Hey, stall posted the best thing ever in response to this.

Spoiler

I believe Foghorn Leghorn can summarize this much better than myself:

Damn, now I really want to start watching that cartoon again.

haha sweet jesus this, and the guy you quoted (i agree, i might just start watching that cartoon again also)


i swear sometimes people from the internet have next to no sense of humor...

then again that augment goes for quite a hefty price these days from sarif industries..

Texting = social skills and interaction with human beings now?

Fuck, the world is doomed.

That was my thought. Though, seeing how kids interact today it's not all that unsurprising, and Christ, saying that makes me feel old.
Now, if you'll excuse me I have some benefits to collect and some kids to yell at to get off my damn lawn.

 

[Atmos Duality]

Really? I always figured the next generation was so addicted to texting that the gaming came second.

like i said earlier i would prefer to call somebody but where i am it seems like its allmost considered rude to call somebody on a cell phone if there is not an emergency litterally the only people i call and get calls from are my parents

 

[Captain_Fantastic]

Well first off it's unfair to generalise an entire generation on someones facebook post.

Secondly, I don't need to pause my game if I get a text message, It's basically an e-mail. Now I could understand if the person was in the same room with me but you can't put any weight behind texts they're silly.

If it's important call the person.

LOL I can just imagine the OP reading this and replying-

But... but, txts R srs bsns!!! q.q

you could possibly read what i said directly above this post lol
