honestly, why do you guys come here and brag about games or systems that you own, rather than playing them?!?!?!

If Halo 3 is so good, GO PLAY IT. If MGS IV is so good, GO PLAY IT. If the PS3 or 360 is so awesome, dont waste your time here, GO PLAY IT. You get my point.

The real reason I come here is that usually news comes here first before any sites actually post it in their news section. Honestly, I could care less about proving to people that I dont even know, that one system is better than the other to better justify my purchase.

Point here is, how about you justify your purchase by playing your system and enjoying it.

EDIT: I AM NOT SAYING TO PLAY YOUR SYSTEM ALL THE TIME. This post is directed at fanboys who come and brag about their systems, and use it as a piece of an argument, rather than a piece of home entertainment.

Because we don't want to turn blind? Do you expect us to play 24/7?

Well right know I have a Wii only but I also had a 360 and will get another one soon and will also get a PS3 but I sometimes go on here when I don't have any new games since I only buy games like 5 times a year at the most, I also come on here when I'm stuck on a game just so I can get away from it for a while. Also I never brag about the games I have except for threads that ask for what systems and what games you own.

looking at a computer screen is the same as looking at a TV screen

You concentrate more on your TV screen while playing a game like CoD4 than leisurely browsing the interwebs on your computer screen :/

  1. I'm playing Final Fantasy III which is turn based and on a handheld. I can play, post and browse the net at the same time.
  2. When I do light exercise like my daily 300 pushups, situps, and some leg squats I can do it right infront of my laptop.
  3. I have two TV's in my room so its not uncommon for me to be watching baseball, playing a game while posting right next to my laptop. Posting during match making anyone?
  4. When we play Brawl only 4 people can play. When I'm not playing I can watch my second tv and use my computer.

But in reality why do you really care? People can be doing tons of things on the computer such as booking tickets, planning vacations, summer classes, choosing classes ect and decide that hey maybe I should browse SW for a second. You act like people need to be playing games 24/7.

Obviously people can't play games all the time, but i do find it when funny when fanboys (usually lemmings) go on about how they have tons of games to play, yet spend so much time on here :P

I normally just come on here, when i take a break from gaming or when i just want to kill time. I just finished playing MGO and i'm taking a little break while posting on here.

I understand. I like all the systems believe it or not, but I still think 360 is superior. However I get motion sickness after more than two hours of gameplay.

Bacon is delicious, but I wouldn't eat it 24-7. As for "fanboys" who talk about enjoying their systems, your supposed target, are they never allowed to stop playing to share the good news?

-

On top of that, many users of this site, especially those who own the most electronics / systems / gear, tend to post from work or school - places they can't play their systems. They don't have the option of going to play MGS4 - they can, however, make a post about it while working on the TPS report.
