Little kids and moron adults who refuse to move out of mommy's house play video games. This is an obvious truth. When married men make them mistake of playing video games, the marriage terminates. Is this really a hard concept to understand?
[I think my irony detector just broke... can't decide if this guy is serious or not.]
I am serious. Grown men playing video games is destroying the family by resulting in men neglecting their real life responsibilities in childrearing and work, and often results in health problems that can lead to premature death.

I work 8 hours a day and play video games, so fuck you. And exactly why am I apparently required to marry and have children? I wasn't aware that was some sort of manly requirement.

Yeah, I'm the moron adult with the weekly rent of $150. What's your rent look like? 'Cause I'm betting it isn't as good as mine.
If I remember correctly, the tensest period in my parent's marriage was actually before we had a computer.
Yesterday: TW: Warh entire evenin.
My Man, my husband. You were saying?
@DarkPhoenix
Ha! Ours is only about 75$(but we own the deed to our place), do I win the lowest rent contest? ;)
Why would grown men having a good time destroy the family? Happy parents are good for the kids. Happy spouses are also good for their spouses. Oh, and women play games too.
You think men should be involved in the child-rearing? Well, that's fairly progressive of you; bonus points for that.
Hubby and me have no kids, so only I get "neglected" when he plays video games. But I can amuse myself for a couple of nights per week. His brother has kids, so he can only play one night per week. The brothers play Battlefield together over the Internet (as they live 400 km apart), so it's a way for them to socialize. This has worked for us for at least a decade, so your "concept" is not valid for us.
I play video games, I have a quit good job and my marriage is pretty good, until now. My wife knows I play and, even better, she sometimes play too. Nothing beats coop Diablo III, as a way to unwind and have fun together.
Also, I have trouble taking anybody who chooses "Elvis is King" as a handle seriously.
Strange. My grandmother played them from the NES up to the gamecube. Played them until the last year of her life. We used to trade games with one another. My father (other family's side) has been an avid fan since I showed him Diablo as a kid. Curiously enough, neither suffered a broken marriage. In fact I suspect that my mother appreciates the calming effect that gaming has on him (he has a bit of a temper) and the fact that we suddenly had a common interest to bond over.
Also, EiK is a hypocrite. Isn't he neglecting his family duties when he's busy spewing drivel all over the Internet?
The moron has shown up to comment? This is "highly educational content"? I've read more learned statements written in washroom stalls.
For a guy who hates video games, he sure sounds like a NPC.

@Elvis is King:
retribution?!
fucking retribution?!
meaning what? pistols at dawn? is this you throwing down the gauntlet? are you such an old fashioned dinosaur you think we haven't abolished duelling over a hundred years ago?
also. I play video games when I'm not working so as to stay sane. I refuse to accept your belief that man is a utility who exists purely to serve. It's a life not worth living and that would, and did lead to premature death. Stress fucking kills people, it shortens lives. so for the love of all that is holy just let me have my games full of blood, mayhem, explosions and yes tits.
Video games are liberal hogwash, and my content has far more redeeming value than any of this kiddie drivel. Anyone who is an adult and is playing video games needs to cease it effective immediately. Otherwise, it's just going to result in the degradation of quality of life. I'm demanding retribution because I noticed that my content was reposted without my permission via a post on RationalWiki. I sure hope Chicken Boy isn't responsible for this!

Oh my. I'm a gamer who is employed full time and I'm...*gasp* - a woman
Also, my health is good, my children well cared for, my husband happy and we own our home.
Someone's full of condensed cat shit.
In my family, playing video games has been a bonding activity. For example, in the first Spyro trilogy, my brother was tasked with beating bosses, my mum dealt with normal enemies, I was the one who did most of the platforming and exploring.
Similarly, my grandmother's cousin is an avid gamer- something she does to keep her brain active in old age.

on whose authority? no really. You believe that you, a person who it seems would have to work long and hard to aspire to the lofty title of a grade A dumbass, have the authority to make other people's lives shittier as well as the authority to stop your mental defecations being re-posted on this site so as to receive the mocking they so richly deserve.

No, your content is moronic and a waste of the electricity necessary to carry it to other people's computers, because you're a Taylor-Swift-obsessed Bible thumper. And unless you plan on showing up in person to enforce that second sentence, I will once again reply with "Fuck your sanctimonious ass".
@darkevilme
Thanks! It took a lot of trial and error but I finally got there today!
I have yet to try career mode, I'm still messing around in sandbox mode.

I suggest you phone your lawyer concerning a little something called a 'DMCA'. That would be your best course of legal action against FSTDT.

From your point of view, you're the Spider Mastermind...:

...and our fair mods Ravy/Pharaoh Bastethotep is the Doom Marine in the last stage of id Software's most recent release "DOOM IV".
Guess who has the BFG 9000 of Banning Your Sorry Arse from FSTDT? And has charged it to beyond overload and about to shove it in your gob & pull the trigger...! >:D
The CEO of that UAC Corporation facility on Mars now has the Crucible Hellblade which said Doom Marine recovered after conquering Hell. He now possesses more than infinite power.
Like I say: now that Hell has been made his bitch, I guess you can figure out what'll happen in a "DOOM V".
Our fair admin shy. You can guess which character in that game he is.
Any & all of your... 'demands' coming to pass? As they say in another videogame, "Starfox": 'Do A Barrel Roll'.
Video games are for little kids and I seriously don't understand why any grown adults would want to go around playing the Sega Genesis like they were some twerpy 8 year olds.
It's called "having fun". I know you Bible-thumpers are too busy worrying about Hell and brimstone to actually have it in your lives. And no, I'm not "possessed by Taylor Swift". I've never seen any of her videos, because I'm not the target demographic and so I don't give a fuck. Normal people who come across something they don't like generally ignore it, unless there's no way around it (like having a President who's a fucking wacko); only sanctimonious "holier-than-thou" assholes go around telling everyone else that they should hate something because YOU hate it.

@darkevilme
My reasoning is that Elvis Costello's Dad Is 'The Secret Lemonade Drinker ' is as grandiose in his delusions, and thinks he'll be 'rewarded': exactly like Dr. Olivia Pierce in "DOOM IV". Oh, and he thinks he can put up a 'fight'. Certainly in his 'dream' that he can somehow bend Reality to his will.
Reality is the Doom Marine that Dr. Pierce feared so much, and with the upgraded Rocket Launcher, Gauss Cannon & BFG 9000 that is Facts, it's given him an Argent Plasma-based lobotomy.
One can see why the adults at Bethesda Softworks bought id Software - if this is what id Tech 6 can do - eh, Ellie...?!
Oh, and a question: if 'Videogames are for kids' as you maintain, why does "DOOM IV" have a PEGI/BBFC rating of '18': for adults only ?
I refer you to the above scene after the Doom Marine has given said Spider Mastermind - formerly Dr. Olivia Pierce, as per that linked final stage* on YouTube - a lobotomy with his BFG 9000. My, but that's something you see in every episode of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", amirite?! And that had the death of an evil character: King Sombra. [/Doug Piranha-levels of sarcasm]
*- I question that particular uploader's reliance upon the Super Shotgun, though: didn't he have the Gauss Cannon...?!
Dr. Stuart Ashen is in his early thirties. He collects handheld games consoles. In one of his videos on his channel on YouTube, he presents another addition to his collection, an NEC PC Engine:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK1QjIVNmFY
"Soldier Blade": his all-time favourite shmup on this system (and emulated on his jailbroken iPhone). Also, the proto-'Bullet Hell' game before Toaplan's "Batsugun"; perhaps the inspiration for subsequent 'Danmaku' games (as per "Starblade" being the direct inspiration for "Starfox")? As I agree with him about "Soldier Blade" being a damn good game, your argument is invalid, Ellie.
Ashens' Ph.D is in Psychology, if you must know. I wonder what his diagnosis would be of your religion-based irrational phobia of videogames: especially the notion of people - certainly of his age - having fun ?
Because last time I heard, Fun was still legal .
Confused?
