No love 4 mario? - Pile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Notes for gamers under the age of 30:
* You might be able to camp the spawn spot in Unreal Tornament and kick our asses, but at some point you're going to file an insurance claim in RL and then it's our turn for 0wnage!
* It's spelled: "You're"; NOT "your" or "ur".
* All you dorks with the microphones sound exactly the same. There's a reason we don't talk online. It's because we don't want to blow your subwoofer with the sounds of our post-pubescent tonal quality.
* Nobody cares that you think you're cool substituting 3 for e
* Yes, we know there is no blood or deathblow in Astroids, Joust, Defender or Pacman and therefore it's lame. You just don't understand about good game design.
* When chatting, the more you abbreviate words, the more inclined we are to think that the remaining fingers otherwise available to type are in use up your butt or in your nose. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I can laugh because I'm 29.
- Sell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Thats funny stuff. How about cheating? Ever met a grown ass man that still cheats? If so kick him in the balls.
- stolenpass, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2My favorite is pirate games. Shouldn't you have an income by now?
So true. - Vill4no, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I agree teamkilling is fun, as long as I'm the one doing it
- tomwsmf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1IM way over 30, and I cant remeber a weekend that goes by where I dont yell WTF BBQ OMG to my wife KillazHellaGood
- tarun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Good friday digg.
- tryferos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+131. Marry / Date a girl who doesnt game or at least understand the addiction!
- ha$$le, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"tea bagging knows no age limit"
Last xmas I was playing Halo2 with my 76 YO granny.
Me: Say goodnight, bitch!
Granny: OMG, campin' ass cracker!
Me: Hey granny, you look thirsty. How about some Earl Grey?
Granny: OMGWTFBBQ!!1!!one
Me: PWNED!! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1so much for my hellkillerdeathinator handle.
- mnaz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I just replaced a logitech a few months ago because I repeatedly smashed it off my desk after being served.
- runhard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm guilty of at least 90% of these... good thing I'm still 26!
- ewingsquadron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+08 and 10 contradict!
- giveer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I ain't 30 either, but this list is kinda dumb.. I really don't see how any of them apply to anyone of a specific age group... Not yelling 'pwnt' in a public anything should be followed by everyone. Disobeying should garner a kick in the head. Ibid for '1337s' who think 'n00b' is some kind of insult. 1337 anything now that I think about it.
- micromause, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Team Killing will always be funny! =) (when not meaning to anyways)
- serpentor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Who uses "BBQ"? wtf/omg are fine, but when is "BBQ" used?
- reggiedarden, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's good stuff. I'm not 30 yet so I can still do the things on the list. :-)
- suMMx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So true, anyone that denies is probably guilty of it.
- vokiel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+07. Choose a female avatar so that you can try to upskirt her.
WHAT??? - wilsonics, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I remember many a lan party in my early 20's.....now that i'm 25, i'm waaaay past it ;)
Carpal Tunnel is a BITCH! OMG! - c0dek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've got 4 months to cram all those things in before 30...better get to work
- mavranos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm 36 and I will continue to Tea-Bag the bodies in Halo 2 (my kill, somebody else's, hell even a teammeate if I feel like it) as long as my arthritic hands will allow me to mash the thumb stick.
Does that sound gay? - jnorris441, on 10/12/2007, -0/+030. Get married
- bigfred, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that was quite comical i especially liked "9. Tea-bag a downed opponent in Halo 2"
- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0good article. looks like if I keep my normal habits for the next 10 years, I won't be facing any of these problems
- BitSlash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0tea bagging knows no age limit
- TheAttacks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lmao!
I live in my parent's basement. . . *looks around* - Dispersion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+018 ftw.
- Kontra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Should apply to all ages of gamers that do not suffer from some sort of mental handicap.
- oopsminded, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Princess Toadstool
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0^^^^ yeah i dont get it either
- znxster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0^^ hehe
- Otto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Being a gamer who's about to turn 30, he's clearly wrong on a few points:
"10. Play any game with Princess Toadstool in it"
Bah. Mario rules. So does Zelda, for that matter. Nothing wrong with old-school platformer fun. Now, if you are playing because you think the Princess is hot, that's a different matter entirely.
"21. Pretend that movies like Doom and Tomb Raider are anything but crap"
Tomb Raider was not bad for an action flick. But expecting actual relevance out of something like that is dumb at any age.
"24. Play competitively against anyone under the age of 10"
This is true, but only because you'll probably get your ass handed to you. - titanass, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This list is like my daily to do list and im 29.
- vladcole, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ya'll taking my post too seriously. =) Thanks for the diggs, though.
I was playing Mario Kart yesterday. I have much love for Mario and Toadstool and friends. Just makes ya feel kinda dirty to choose princess toadstool as your avatar. - M$Whore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"17. Replace the letter S with a dollar sign when writing Microsoft, Sony, or PlayStation"
lol, that is soooo sad - interiot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Skirts, 10 year olds, and tea-bagging all pwn, no matter what age.
- mogdor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Crap, I'm 29, almost there! I play against my under age 10 nephews all the time though, can't give up the joy of beating the crap out of them! I'm not all evil though, I let them win every now and then, LOL
- vladcole, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The inspiration was an article in GQ. I (the author) have never been to ConsoleAthletics.com.
- vladcole, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0shawgo: You missed the point on that one. I noted in the comments that I was playing Mario Kart the night I wrote that post. I felt like a dirty old man. ;)
- vladcole, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nlatimir: not if you're over 30. Reflexes too slow.
- ap0c, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1is it just me who thought that it wasn't funny?
- motionblur, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"17. Replace the letter S with a dollar sign when writing Microsoft, Sony, or PlayStation"
Sorry, but I'll give up on my political motivations when the big corporations give up on theirs first.
"20. Try to win an argument in a gaming forum"
That's futile in any forum at any age. - denied, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What do you get if you qualify for all 29? A new pant size?
- nlatimer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Number 2 is the worst advice I've ever heard, if you have a love then you pursue it.
- mrqcho, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The comments there have one that should DEFINITELY be there..
"Play a demo version of a game (or new system) at Wal-Mart with a line of kiddies behind you" - shakefu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0FTW
