- colty045, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Damn it i read the article thinking it was a about Transformers
nice Bait and Switch
or
Nice disguise you clever robot you - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13"Similar to the way you became a gamer yourself, slowly and patiently....."
No, I'm pretty sure I was born a gamer. - javip, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14What do transformers do oldtimegamer?
- D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Transform...i thought it was going to be about a really cool transformers game that will get non gamers to play video games...
Wouldn't that be awesome, a transformers game for the Wii? - Pas3n7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5What motion best describes 'Transform into a car'?
- b3mus3d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4So.......
your fiancee is jealous of your wii?
;-) - iampoch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"Lastly, gamers that married a non-gaming partner want their loved one to understand why they game so much and for them to share in the fun."
This is the most important aspect for me. I'm not yet married, mind you. but I want my fiancee to understandy why I'm so hooked to my hobby. She tends to get jealous to anything that takes my attention off her. - oldtimegamer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3what is ever more sad are the people that go into gaming areas on websites like digg to actually make those comments. WoW do they need a hobby.
- DrakeGTA, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Ha ha, "some of them can be great candidates for gaming conversion" Is this Reggie Fils-Aime's great commission?
"Go forth into the world an makes gamers out of ever creature, converting them in the name of SNES, the Wii, and The DS." - malice8691, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I have been a gamer for about 15 years. My wife has never been into games. This has caused problems in the past especially with mmorpg and other time sinks. The other day she informed me that she wants a wii. The transformation has begun.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2My g/f is the same way, if i get on the pc to read/ play games, she feels as if im not paying attention to her. Trust me, they are all like that
- MatttK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Stupid WoW has made us all type "wow" as "WoW".. arg.
- eqisow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Meh, he kept me all the way until the end, when he called Marble Madness a "new" game.
Retard. - hollismb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah, but he meant Marble Blast Ultra on the XBOX Live Arcade, which is a new game. There's no Marble Madness.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22 comments:
this is dumb.
also:
who wants to "transform" anyone into a gamer? the best possible result is that they do start playing games, then you have to deal with their n00b asses day in day out... - iampoch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2hadn't bought a wii yet :) she's jealous of the ps2, ps3, gc, xbox, airsoft, and kiera knightly :)
- Gizza, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'm surprised it didn't mention the Sims. That game gets non-gamers hooked, especially if they're of the female persuasion. Tho I guess the trouble with this is getting them to move up from the Sims.
- brundlefly76, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Why try to change them?
Maybe they don't like games and they have a real life unlike us.
Maybe we should learn from *them*! - blast_flame, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And roll out
- inquebiss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yes, clearly my gaming consoles are not meant for gaming, even though I can buy and play games on them.
- Goner, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1article loses me with misuses of "you're" instead of "your". Stop playing games and study for a little while and try again, kthxbye..
- therealrico, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This article is retarted, I don't consider myself a hardcore gamer, but I play in my opinion too much, on average an hour a night. I personally would try and steer people away from gaming, It is too easy to plop down on a couch on a couch and play for 5-6 hours on a Saturday when there are so many more constructive things I could be doing. I want to get rid of my 360 but I am too weak. I love games but come on who are you kidding, games are a waste of time and there are a million other better things you can do with your life.
- Skotasma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'M NOT...
*grrrrr*
My bf plays a bit more than me, but that doesn't mean he always wins :P
My dad likes flight simulation, when my mums get pissed about him playing I just have to remind her when I got my very first game boy - she LOVED Mario (Land? Brothers? damn, I hardly ever saw that game) and played it through on a daily basis. - dpierce, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I own the domain nongamers.com and would like ideas how I could develop it. What do you think?
- erkokite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Soccer Mom MAXIMIZE!
- inquebiss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can get my fiance to play wii sports and raving rabbids, but it's only been a few times. She's never had the desire to pick up the remote on her own.
- Cputerace, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"How do you convince a person that has no interest in gaming to play games?"
Easy... Play Wii with them - steven401, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Consoles are toys, not gaming hardware.
- iampoch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I'm a hardcore gamer, been one since i was 6 years old, and I'm now a console collector. Even still, I have a great job, had relationships and am currently in one, I play airsoft and hang out with friends afterwards...a typical hardcore gamer isn't someone who sticks in his room living off chips and storing all the cholesterol playing all day. Man, there's more to life than games and every gamer knows that.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Why? Are they trying to recruit more potential virgins for life?
- masnevets, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Since when did Final Fantasy XII have a "deep" story? Oh it says "deeper," which I guess is accurate when compared to BookWorm Adventures.
- DOTQWERTY218, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Transfomers, eh?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2You know...many people who don't play video games don't play not becuase they don't "understand it", but becuase THEY HAVE LIVES.
- aragon127, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Why would you want to transform someone into a gamer?
Does noone live their own life anymore?
if world.person is not like world.me
then sub.change(person)
else endif
- oldtimegamer, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2The title says Non-Gamers...TRANSFORM. Doesn't look like its about the transformers at all.
