Not healthy in my opinion as these people want control of everything. They can’t seperate real life from their gaming life.
Should adults who play games be audited?

sk8erboii · 13-01-2019 1:02am

Damn.. we gamers really need to rise up

OwlsZat · 13-01-2019 1:02am

Audited to make sure of what Mary.

These gamers give a true and fair view free of material misstatement? That kind of audit?

Sounds weird... and stoopid...

I'm not a gamer myself but what's the harm? It's perfectly acceptable to veg out in front of the tv watching Sky Sports or have your head buried in your phone playing Candy Crush or going on Facebook, what's the difference?

I'm an adult, I play video games, I'm healthy and no i dont want to control everything as you say. I can easily separate my gaming from real life. So tell me, why exactly should someone audit me??

Gamers, don't be insulted.

OP's idea of fun is creating troll threads. He's a 13-year-old Xbox gamer but doesn't know it yet.

I'll take my hobby that I enjoy and be glad it's something I have.

Maybe we should get people that post pointless threads on the internet audited. Haha

Give me video games over listening to you nagging and pontificating any day of the week.

Haha, sure let's audit book readers and film watchers too as it's the same thing

You do realise that video games are a form of entertainment just like tv etc. The difference with video games is that you interact with them.

How far can ye get in the beep test though?

Hammer89 · 13-01-2019 1:27am

I'm inclined to agree that some can' separate the games from real life. Sure there was a child no older than 29 walking around my estate earlier trying to track a grizzly with an imaginery Winchester in his hands.

What, like audited by the Scientologists? Or PWC? or the Public accounts Committee? You need to be more specific.

r93kaey5p2izun · 13-01-2019 1:28am

Are you a scientologist OP? It would explain a lot.

Yep.

Irony hopefully not lost on Mary that she's having a debate with a bunch of pseudonyms on her computer, all or none of which could be real but "seem" real to her. Essentially a video game, but whatever the case I'm sure her battle against the enemy commenters will see her reign supreme and she won't have to use any continues or select an earlier save to beat them. But she may use a Game Genie.

Necro · 13-01-2019 1:30am

The more pressing question is about the auditors imo. Who audits them?

Or do we have un-audited auditors in our midst?

This is the type of thing that causes stuff like Brexit :eek:

gctest50 · 13-01-2019 1:31am

1000 words etc

Strumms · 13-01-2019 1:32am

Pointless people should be audited. Pointless thread btw.

37 yr old man here OP. Every year my New Years resolution is to play more video games, so... Yeah whatever. I sense that you are the one who wants to control everything

You're talking firmly out of your rectum. Like most forms of entertainment there is nothing wrong with playing computer games in moderation, which 99% of gamers do - the notion of some basement dwelling anti-social weirdo playing computer games 24/7 is a fallacy that rarely happens. Every gamer I know is doing absolutely fine and would probably have more success at passing an audit (whatever the hell it is you're auditing) than you would.

But don't let the truth stop you, you enjoy your moment on your soap box you utter clown

Sonic Youth · 13-01-2019 1:38am

I loved computer games until I was 12. Once puberty kicked in, and I realised girls had nothing but contempt for lads who played video games, the PlayStation was soon dropped.

I don't know, each to his own and all but I do think it's a bit sad adults playing computer games.

grindle · 13-01-2019 1:39am

The weird thing about this is there's a shít-ton of 25-35yo female gamers nowadays too.

Why are male gamers the target?

You should have carried on, you've missed some cracking games over the last few years - but each to their own dude

Sure she says gamers want control of everything yet when she says jump everyone jumps. Hmmm now does that mean mary is a closet gamer..........

It's ok mary, this is a safe space, you can admit your gaming ways here.

My mam once questioned how anyone could sit interacting with a screen for hours playing a game, the same woman has a weekly ritual of bullsh1t brain-dead soaps between 6.30 and 9 every day of the week

I beg to differ, my partners brother is a 33 year old, basement dwelling anti-social weirdo who plays games 24/7.
The only time he leaves his bedroom is to collect his dole.
Sad existence really.
