Satellite broadband for gaming....

    Just read this over on the NBB website...

    http://www.nbb.ie/satbb.php
    Satellite broadband is no good for gaming - WRONG
    The most played game online is poker and poker can most definitely be played over a satellite connection as can roulette, chess, golf, football, tennis etc. The one type of game which is not suitable to be played over satellite and which thankfully has a minority following is the “bang bang” type of violent assault game where you have to shoot the other guy before he shoots you or wipe out his army or his Country before he wipes out yours.

    Nearly spilt my coffee laughing with the bit highlighted in bold!!

    So "Bang Bang" games have a minority following, must send a note to all the games developers! lol

    Would love to meet the person that wrote that. Atleast see a picture of him/her.. :rolleyes:

    I would guess man cause of the poker reference then woman because of the reference to the "Bang Bang" games.. Either way they don't have a clue ha.

    the writer of the article is dead right. There are 6 billion people in the world with only 10 million of them xbox live subscribers. That is an extremely low percentage of bang bang gamers. We really have to find a new hobby as this one clearly has not enough followers.

    Thats a classic quote alright, just looking through some of my games (about 20 I can see from where I am sitting) ............... and not one of them is NOT a 'bang bang' game :D
