I wish I played more games. I have never played Halo or GTA:Vice city. Or any of em fancy ps2 games. Today I bought myself some late Christmas gifts.

My old Dreamcast wuz gathering dust in the corner so I bought Jet Set Radio, Phantasy star online, Sonic adventure and Quake 3 arena (Boxing day saved my wallet's life) anyway, I been missing so much over the years! No one ever told me how fun quake 3 is, I never played it! I even fraged my dad. This game if flipped up.

PSO made me angry. I couldn't get the weird animal things to lie down on the ground.

Jet Set Radio was okay. Those ppl talk too much. And the kids are high on something.

Sonic was pretty funny. i only played the classic 2d ones. Wow! I never knew hedgehogs could run up buildings. I know what I want next Christmas.

Oh and I have no pc games.
So while you guys are sitting there playing your fancy UT2k, and xboxes and those gameboxes or watever kids call em. Just for a second thing of me who is still enjoying the thrills of 1999...today!

Now where did my bubble bobble cartiridge go?

Yea my DC was gathering dust as I only played it a few times since I got it.

A shame seganet isn't around anymore. Why do I always find something cool, when everyone else moved on?

This is all Nintendo's fault. All you gamecubes users, I hope your system catches fire, and your house burns down and you lose your cat in the inferno.

Ok maybe that's a bit mean. Ignore it.

Man, as funny as it sounds, the hard thing about being a developer is playing games. The way it was for me was that I started out being obsessed with playing PC & console games. Then, as I learned how to develop my own, I stopped playing and started making.

It's hard to discipline yourself to play games. I bough killswitch last month and still haven't beaten it...on my to-do list I suppose, haha.

same with me... mebbe its cos once you understand what a game actually is(code,models,images all bundled together in a pretty package) the realism element is completely gone, you probably realised before it wasn't real but now you have the knowledge...

Yeah, once you really start making your own games, other games just dont grab your attention as much (except for the random good one). Not to mention your skill as a game programmers ruins a bit of it because during or after, you wonder how they achieved that certain effect, and how you could achieve the same effect with a different language. I played FFX-2 for about 2 weeks (less than about 3 hours total play time) before i wasnt interested in it anymore. Probably because I spotted neat effects that I would like to duplicate, or the music had a certian jazzy tune in it that I would like to recreate, but after a while, it just got boring.

Cheers,
Preston
