So, I'm a man, and I enjoy this game.

Ouch. For me it was just her asking me to do really pointless stuff "You should go to that big tower i bet there is something cool there" Me: "Uh yeah okay" -While playing Oblivion-

I used to watch my dad game when I was younger. This was back in soviet russia in the early 90s, so it meant I watched him play the original prince of persia and bugged him to find people to have that awesome 32 bit swordfight that now just looks uncomfortably sexual.

Surely there is an "in Soviet Russia..." joke here just begging to be told.

In Soviet Russia, DOS operates you?

Seriously though, playing games in DOS is something effectively no one in my generation understands.

I don't know how old you are, but I still remember having to enter a bunch of cryptic lines at the prompt to get games fired up.

I used to play King's Quest and Police Quest, the SSI gold box RPGs, and once I even got Leisure Suit Larry running when I was like 7 years old. That was pretty cool, or so I thought at the time.

You gotta love the backseat gamers, bug you till you pass the controller.



Cant game with friends use to happen all the time in fight night just started the match and according to them already made atleast fifty mistakes lol.

I'll be happy when preconceptions about what a gamer is are broken. We're not all heterosexual white dudebros, nor should our games cater to that.

Cant think of any other game where you talk about your feelings to someone seconds after decapitating someone.

People have a weird idea of mainstream on this forum because how strongly we tend toward the extreme end of our hobbies. But things like FPS, in terms of how the really macho type guys will see them, fall on the nerdy side.

Sports games are the only acceptable video-game that I've seen at this level.

It's a consequence of our range of experience.

I literally don't interact socially with anyone who isn't a gamer.  The closest thing I have to a non-gamer friend is my attorney, and he was actually my DM in high school.

Does he ever pull the DM card while defending a case?

My boyfriend picked me up while we were playing co-op mission in swat4 ) and recently I gave him my copy of DAO and he loves the game nearly as much as I do :-)

but

you know...he said he adored that I like to play computer games so much till the time I became better than him in every game, now he prefers to watch me play than play with me ;p

My brother likes Dragon Age....he's even read my copies of the books. I like Dragon Age and I'm also a girl....However most girls around here seem to buy nothing but the Sims....which makes me sad seeing as I like actual games with game play and funny things called storyline's...As for the guy in question...who knows, maybe the whole epic scale of the game was too much for his tiny brain to grasp, he's better off playing CoD MW 2, it only goes for what? 2 hours tops....

I know only one girl IRL that plays RPGs tbh. She is the one who dragged me into this world xD The other ones that i know play Diner Dash or Sims. Don't get me wrong, i used to play Sims too, but it's getting really boring after a time. I like something with a story, with some action

I'm an 18 year old guy and I love the romance in Dragon Age and Mass Effect. It really helps the world and characters feel more alive. I'm also a sucker for love stories. Alistair was one of my favourite characters because he reminded me so much of characters from romantic comedies and I love romantic comedies.

[Sesshomaru47]

I played them too...but got bored. Then I played Splinter Call and never looked back.

[DaySeeker]

I think the point of that encounter is that there are different types of gamers. Some who want a quick fix to relieve boredom, some who want to she cool set pieces destroyed and new, fancy weapons, sports enthusiasts, RPG-ers. I don't think that the salient point is that he is male- I think it is just his gaming expectations are different and that his ability to verbalize opinions he hasn't fully formed is weak and fell into the classic straight guy default of ,"That's girly, " or, "That's gay," which doesn't really mean anything. The audience for video games now is so much broader than when I started playing as a kid; they are much more a part of culture and not so niche-y, therefore there will probably be gamers into a narrative experience, some who love variety, and some that will play only specific games.



I, myself, find I am branching out more into things I would've stayed away from in the past, and also games seem to be merging genres. Look at Bioshock. Look at how RPG's have developed from their text and turn based systems, and how shooters are taking leveling aspects from RPG roots.

I only have one friend I play video games with.  We've each played DA:O a million times, so when we play together we make up new dialogue and such as we go along, and just make fun of our PC.  In fake British accents. 

Yeah, we're special.  We have a good time, though.

LOL  One of my videos is of a kiss mod for Alistair and I sometimes get commenters asking "why does he have blood on him?"  Duh, it's the Deep Roads!!  The Lover's Lane of Thedas!

At any rate, as a rule I now never play video-games around things that breathe.

Certainly not adults.

I will happily game with a 2-year-old on my lap, but if my gf walks into the room I immediately pull up the system menu.

And yet, I used to play Baldur's Gate with her in the room.  She'd be next to me competing in online backgammon tournaments, and I'd be uncovering my Bhaalspawn past.  I think it's the voices that bother me now; I don't like her hearing the conversations.

Aside from having to manage your memory allocation, it wasn't much different.

Good to know I'm not the only one. I just can't play through a games story with other people around. It's like having someone looking over your shoulder while you read a book.

Ardinal, I am positively horrified by your little story, there. There are just too many layers of wrong in there. First a costumer walks in just to have the "I knew it" conversation and insult you and every woman out there? And secondly, he's loosing one of the best games of the last years because it has optional romance subplots and his macho ego can't take it? That man is a complete idiot. Born out of ignorance and proud of it.



I smell strong problems with women, there. Makes me loose a little more faith in humanity.
