i'd start using drugs and then go on fox news and tell them that banning games did this to me, then fox would glamorize it and games would be unbanned.

(no seriously.. i wouldn't care.. games are as important as 1 dollar bills..)

[-Michael-]

I wouldn't really care, but it'd probably just go underground, you'd be walking down the street and some guy with an overcoat on would try to sell you gamiing stuff...

[c.designs]

I wouldn't care...

Plus, the world would prosper with all this new money not going to new games and monthly fees

Photoshop as I do already.

Pat them on the back for beeing smart.

If there were no video games, then everyone would get fit,
Lower the level of obesity and increase the level of intelligence worldwide.
They're alright just before we head them people were fine so why not now?
I'd rather do some photoshop than play a game.
Well thats my opinion anyways...

photoshop/computer is just like playing a game, your sitting just as much or more than playing a game, becuase games tend to get boring after a while, and with computers/photoshop there is always something to do. so what do i think

BAN ALL SOURCE OF ENTERTAINMENT!

[Bryn]

photoshop aint a game.
I dotn know many jobs where you can get paid 30k+ for playing games.

[Clandestine]

no im saying its just like a game, you sit for countless hours and its just as entertaining

[SHIVMOO]

Wasnt going to reply to this thread as they are always the standard "BAN BAN BAN BAN" "no i like them dont" things, but i just thought i would air my views like so many have, if this thread becomes a flame war it will almost definatly be locked and deleted so remember, we are all human and all have different preferences of things we like.


ok then, can i point out that i am a definate gamer, play roughly 3 hours + easily in 1 stint... so any bias is well.... expected..

They are NOT going to ban video games EVER unless some natzi style dictatorship takes hold and bans screens or something as they are the work of the devil..
Games popularity is growing, EA has started researching educational uses of games in schools and it is proving to be a very effective way of teaching children new ideas and information.

ok so... we havent had games that long, yeah sure we survived fine without them.... yeah sure, they arent especially productive or exercising...

We survived fine without the computer... heck.. lets remove that from the world because poeple are using it for pirating and other forms of entertainment, ooooh noooo... your precious photoshopping ..... darn...
Is the cinema especially productive??... what about dvd's and vhs for that matter, sure they have documentaries and educational stoof.. but so do games, i learn much much more from information i have read or experianced in a game than anything else, i can remember every level of halo with roughly how many enemies you will encounter per area ect. i also know my way around half life 2 and Fear like the back of my hand.
ok.. the excercise thing... that isnt completely to do with games what so ever, it is more to do with our involvement of computers and tv's, and the fast food snack diet allot of poeple have nowadays, i cycle 12 miles + every school day. i am active, fit and healthy and still find time for my gaming.

please stop moaning about a form of entertainment a large majoroty of poeple enjoy, u may not understand it, u may not like it, but please dont go all polititian out in the open and scream that they should be banned, its not going to happen. To much money in it for 1 thing. if it was banned a similair thing would just pop up in its place.

[Mooey]

I would take up knitting

[hughes11]

Play them illegally

Please don't take this personally, but your response isn't logical. Sitting in front of a pc is just as fattening as sitting infront of a game console or movie or riding on an airplane. Sitting is sitting, no matter what you're doing when you're doing it.

Games will not be banned as they pull in more money than the movie industry each year and provide a significant stress relief for our law enforcement, military and IT geeks. Gaming also drives the computer industry to provide faster pc's and components.


What would you do in ur spare time? Learn C++ and make my own games.

What would you do to unban them? Watch the economy & computer industry take a dive.

What would you do in anguish of first hearing this news? Take the day off and cry myself to sleep
