5 pros/cons about being a 16 years old Gamer

Pros:

#1 + You understand "the game" better. The story makes more sense than it did when you were 6 years old. Your own logic will help you more, than when you were younger when your logic was screwed up.

#2 + Most boys at age 16 have a playstation, Nintendo or sega, so that means that you share your interest with nearly all your friends.

#3 + You are allowed to play more. When you were little your parents always told you to stop play right when you were at a boss or something. Now you got more freedom.

#4 + You are able to use the internet which is incredible useful for game info.

#5 + You got more money. More money = More games. More games = more fun. More Fun = Better life.

Cons:

#1 - You wont have that much time to play because of school. Sometimes vice versa <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> .

#2 - The gaming life is consuming all your money in your pocket.

#3 - Neglected pets... nuff said!

#4 - Lame games will be even lamer than when you were 6 and didn't understood the games, just played them.

#5 - Older people look down on gamers for some reason, they think you are immature -_-.

============================

The pros/cons can be about anything: Danish Gamer( <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ), Nintendo Gamer, Hardcore Gamer etc.

5 pros/cons of being an ugly gamer (like some of the people at these boards, I'm sure...)

Pros

1. When online gaming finally goes big, you can pretend you're a sexy 22-year-old with abs of steel.

2. Lack of social life=more game time!

3. You can really relate to the hideous-looking villians.

4. You get to pretend to be handsome heroes as an escape from your pathetic life.

5. When playing demos at the game store, small children will stay at least 10 feet away from you at all times.

Cons

1. You're....well...ugly

2. Do I really need 5? I mean come on, you're ugly.

3. Fine, real cons. You will be forced to play multiplayer games by yourself, which could lead to doing other things with yourself too.

4. You'll have to wear a bag over your head when buying games, as you're too hideous for the cashier to look at.

5. You'll never be able to go to E3, since seeing you would most likely make Miyamoto cry.
