wtf? first of all, we're talking about how one spends their free time. being engaged by art is one way that one can choose to spend their free time. playing competitive games is another, but i wouldn't consider it being engaged by art. the overlap is in intellectual stimulation, where I find I get a hell of a lot more from vidjo games than TV, but they're still distinctly different types of activities. and so we've now somehow gotten to you talking about how much better your apples are than my oranges.
yes, we clearly experience these activities in very different ways.
I was just being a prick and mirroring what you were saying
, I don't think you'd actually enjoy the games I enjoy because of the sort of time commitment they demand. League of Legends is my flavor of the past 4-5 months for whatever it's worth.eh, now your argument's getting a little silly. the "power" of the writing in a book vs. in a screenplay is quite subjective. personally, I find books and film and tv and music to all be of the same mold. they're observational forms of entertainment, in which you are taking in someone else's art and appreciating it. I enjoy these in moderation, but I feel unfulfilled spending large amounts of time on them, which typically means that TV falls by the wayside because it demands the most time of me and I'm just not interested in spending my time on it.
This. I've found it really scary just how often concepts that apply to competitive video games like Yomi or "mindgames" somehow sneak their way into daily life for me.
uhm, and what was that supposed to mean?
Yeeeep, that 13 yr old is definitely a beast
yo look at the faces of the audience. lmfao
That's how i feel haha@ pof:
also everyone seems to be getting better at the same rate. so that new player who gets better, the players above him get better as well. the new player can hang with them, but hes still worse. (save a few exceptions of course)
You must, especially 4. Yoda looks so much better than in his ****ty cgi state in the prequels
LOL that was awesome, too bad I suck *** at focus canceling moves cause I've never needed to before.thumbs, here ya go. Don't mind the ****ty quality

Apples and oranges. they convey information/story different ways. Let's hug and be friends.
I didn't mean when the game was literally turned off. Of course you can think about it after you turn it off, but my point was the thoughts you have about it are limited to the game itself, no? Whereas when I'm dwelling on Lost I'm not just thinking about what happened in the episode but pretentious sounding stuff such as existentialism, philosophical zombies and the nature of morality.wtf? first of all, we're talking about how one spends their free time. being engaged by art is one way that one can choose to spend their free time. playing competitive games is another, but i wouldn't consider it being engaged by art. the overlap is in intellectual stimulation, where I find I get a hell of a lot more from vidjo games than TV, but they're still distinctly different types of activities. and so we've now somehow gotten to you talking about how much better your apples are than my oranges.
"getting better at games, which is about the most limited form of intellectual stimulation ever, because it ends when the game is turned off"
this right here pretty much sums up why the argument is going to be fruitless because this couldn't be farther from the truth for me. thinking about games and how they work and why I won or lost accounts for a huge portion of why I enjoy gaming. maybe you just stop thinking about it when you turn it off or pack the board game up, but I continue to think about it and it's very intellectually stimulating to me for long periods of time after the game is long since packed up. maybe you do the same thing with lost, thinking about the characters and story and subtexts and speculating where it will go from there and that's all very stimulating to you, but just because a show can give you that sort of stimulation and games do not doesn't mean it's the same for everyone.
perhaps you're right brain dominated and creative and emotional stimulation are what really get you going and I'm left brain dominated and analytical and problem solving situations are what butter my biscuit.
I dunno, it's just becoming more and more apparent that the way we experience games and TV are vastly different and that's the root of this whole difference of opinions.

Unless you're Dazwa of course. He uses sheik mindgames IRL so much it's scary. BUT WOULDN'T YOU RATHER BE PLAYING A GAME WHERE PEOPLE SHOOT EACH OTHER INSTEAD THAT WAY YOU CAN CONTROLLL THE ARRTTTTT
O_o that was pretty awesome. alllll those background girls wanted him so bad lol
Yoda isn't in episode 4.
git ****in raeped
LOL I just watched the ep again, I die every time paint bomb goes and offBUT WOULDN'T YOU RATHER BE PLAYING A GAME WHERE PEOPLE SHOOT EACH OTHER INSTEAD THAT WAY YOU CAN CONTROLLL THE ARRTTTTT
HOLY **** I thought Empire was 4 when I typed that. FIVE I MEANT FIVE
i think i watched everything up to the buu saga in mexico when i was like...9?
lol i havent heard of it till your post. ff7 and scooby doo is hilarious/
The problem with 6 is that there is waaayyyyyy too much going on at the end, the dialogue was pretty bad and I found that for its time it was pretty scrambly and jumpy. It lacked in plot walk through but the scenes and action were beyond amazing. The saber fight at the end was powerful, dramatic, and very twisty with the emperor interfering. Jabas palace was pretty fun with Boba Fett, Dengar, and 4-Lom making appearances yet again. The Ewoks are like the coolest concept EVER! lol. carrie fisher is hot as **** in the forest, and you see a softer side to Han finally after watching the other two. lol.
This. I didnt think Revenge of the Sith was too bad...but its still *** compared to 4-6 simply because the acting is 10X better.
Dragonball Z and Pokemon were the two popular things around my neighborhood when I moved to CT. Never ever watched Nick outside of Rocket Power and Hey Arnold! I don't remember where Doug was from but I still have the tape to that movie.
I needle faked a passing car on my way to a smashfest today - it SD'd in fear.
Star Wars Episode 2 Attack of the Clones is the worst thing ever made by a human.
What about Transformers Revenge of the fallen? i mean, at least Starwars ep 2 tried to make sense
My god! There is a second one? Time to go watch! lol.
