PC gamers, why are you here?

[Spaghetti]

Because I have better things to be doing than playing SWAT 4 for the 5th consecutive hour.
Plus, I have my PC for things other than gaming...like using it to access the Escapist and watching DVD's.

But if your that desperate, I'll play minesweeper...






...I clicked on a mine. Are you happy now? Innocent minesweepers died because of that poorly thought out question! You've made my hedgehog cry.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I don't limit myself to just one gaming platform like SOME gamers.
Also why are you asking stupid questions?

 

[ItsAPaul]

Bit of an idiot, aren't you OP?

 

[geddydisciple]

When i play video games i sit down and play for at least an hour. Right now i'm just waiting for my clothes to finish drying so i can put them away and go to bed.

and this...

...because gaming doesn't have to be done 24/7?

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

Because I'm reading the news, commenting in forums, listening to a couple new albums I just purchased, shopping for more music, and doing some research for a project. Kind of hard to do those things when you're in the middle of a game.

 

[TailsRodrigez]

Not possible right now. Thats why, I was asking the question because you ARE on your computer already and it is possible.

you don't have to play constantly, sometimes you want to do more than one thing with your life.

...because gaming doesn't have to be done 24/7? That's like asking why someone who is married is out having a walk instead of having sex.

Well you answered your own question didn't you?

Also it's easy to alt+tab out of a game and go on the internet if you feel like it.

I did? Explain

I'm sorry. This just... I mean wow. Ok here you go:

"...because gaming doesn't have to be done 24/7?"
That is why one would spend a little time on an internet forum.

Or do you want me to draw you a picture?

...well, yes, that was my answer to his question...
I didn't answer my own question, I answered the OP's question.
So as for you being all arrogant and sarcastic, especially with that little picture comment, you probably want to make sure you've got your fucking facts straight.

To the PC gamers here, Why are you here. I'm not saying 'GTFO' or anything I was just wondering why if you are on your PC and your a gamer, why arent you playing games? They're a hell of a lot better than internet forums.

I'm on here coz I have nothing to do and I dont have a gaming PC (cant afford one).

Y'know just wondering?

At first I thought this was a standard PC flamebaiting thread.

Then I read this post and thought "huh he kind of has an interesting question."

Then I read it again. My final and well-thought-out response:

what is this I don't even

 

[Jennacide]

Because anything more than 4 hours in a row makes me stir-crazy. Most games can't even hold me that long before I get the itch to take a break. Pretty much only Fallout 3, Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 have had me do marathon sessions of more than 3-4 hours.

 

[Daveman]

yeah well I hear lots of swedish people are racist so meh, who cares about the fatties. ;p

You guys are idiots.

me? I be clever fo' shizzle!

Contrary to what American Dad wants you to believe, there's no such thing as an "American race".

Oh, and...

America [http://www.pown.it/2391/3882189] (N entirely SFW)

I wasn't talking about racist to americans, that's fine by me. I'm talking about being racist in general. But that's just what I've heard, I don't (necessarily) believe it. Love the video btw... "Slavery FUCK YEAH" *facepalm*

 

[Georgeman]

That's like asking, "You're on the internet, why aren't you looking at pr0n?"
There are other things you can do.

What? But! But this can't be true! Internet's main use isn't only for porn! Think of all the wonderful ways to educ- Actually, scratch that. The video below proves otherwise:


As for me, I'm here for a bit of a time waster and because my PC (which is capable of modern gaming) is not my main gaming platform of choice.

That's funny, because I've been told we're considered one of the most tolerant peoples of the world.

Turn back the clock 15-16 years, though, and I'd say that racism was a lot more common. (I saw some old video clips from 1993 a few days ago, with an assembly of sorts discussing the issue of a mosque being built.)

Hmm I didn't pay attention, not even a little. Well then you are ok.
