Do you play games on your phone and if you do?

Do you give out to it when playing on online game and someone on your side is no good or not doing what they should do.

I do not to either and I just think it's an awful waste of time and energy tgat could be spent bettering oneself like learning something new or catching up on T.V or online shows.

How do TV shows better people?

I play Scrabble on my phone. The giving out bit doesn't really come into it with my kind of gaming though.

You do get to chat to your opponents which is grand and I've made friends all over the globe thanks to it.

Nope, no games on my phone…. Only times I’d play games out and about would be if I was stuck in an airport, or on a flight and I’d have my iPad which has quite a few games…

Scrabble, wordsearch, FIFA, 8 ball pool, sonic dash and sonic boom, World Series of poker and some quiz games….

I love gaming. It's what I do with most my time. But I just can't get into gaming on a phone. I can't even watch much more than a semi-interesting YouTube video on my phone, because I have a 49" 4K tv which everything looks so much better on. I don't why I would want to play it on a tiny screen with either crap touch controls or having to haul around a controller to play with.

I do play games on my phone when having a smoke. But I wouldn't really call it gaming, as it's usually something simple like a puzzle game. But on the tv, I used to shout, not anymore. Don't really play online much, aside from a bit of Rocket League, so if I was to shout I'd only be shouting at myself. And I do that enough as it is.

Re: waste of time, it's no less wasted that watching millionaires kick inflated leather around for the peasants amusement. Or catching the latest episode of [insert brain killing tv crap here]. Tbh, what good is reading a book in comparison? And better yourself? Gaming helps you develop problem solving, spatial and hand-eye coordination skills, as well as vision and speed skills. Compared to drinking alcohol while shouting at a tv for "your" team to do the things you think you could do.

I Never said T.V shows better people but at least they are not time wasted. Don't get me wrong I have spent many hours too playing games just not in a long time.

I just think mobile games are bad. I have tried some and found them all terrible.
