Darth Webster Posted June 1, 2002 Author Share Posted June 1, 2002 Just as an aside If I posted "the sky is blue" I'm sure someone out there would get all red faced and try to argue it to death! (maybe I should try it... see what happens). I just hope those responses were in jest!!!

Datheus Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 Well, can you blame them? It's not blue until you call it blue. The English language is ... limiting... Makes me think of the Matrix Don't try to bend the spoon with your mind, THAT is impossible, simply, believe that the spoon is not really there. And oh, if you couln't already tell, I'm an imersion junkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Webster Posted June 1, 2002 Author Share Posted June 1, 2002 Cool!!! THERE IS NO SPOON!!! As I stated before... I'm mostly an imersion junkie with a little bit of the cyber-Jock thrown in. I should mention that when I play from work I get to play for only short bursts... so I kinda play like a quake head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vio Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 *Darth Vio puffs on a pipe* This post is for fgstratus I create my own class... I am a phillisophical gamer, an ancient videogaming guru of sorts having begun videogaming in the early days, of, and before commodore's and such. This , however doesn't mean that I understand the classes of gamer better than any of the rest of you. This doesn't mean that I can out play anyone either because some days the force is definately not there with me heh...If I live, or die it doesn't matter. Just play for fun and to see what people do and what motivates them to do it. What I do understand though is the hiding power of the internet and the ego's that it can create and the small man hiding behind the screen to make himself feel bigger by throwing out insults and revolting to an idea before he even gave it a chance. You fear class and segregation, yet by your words defined yourself as a gaming llama and one of those who takes things to the n'th degree as your ego can not tolerate not being accepted by your piers as your irritation clearly showed in knowing that you were made a laughing-stock of a very popular internet cafe that no doubt gets a lot of traffic (and lot's of very attractive female gamers, *this is vancouver afterall and cyber-culture thanks to the minds like william gibson is very real here) ...and so your feelings were splattered all over a wall trying to make everyone see things your way, taking things personally and responding with anger again too stubborn to accept others views. Standing alone is good but that's not what the thread that started this all intended. A closed mind is a sad thing. Let it go , feel the peace of mind and game on. Or don't and game in misery taking everything in your life too seriously. Life's too short for even the little stresses See you on the field.

BCanr2d2 Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 I'd call myself a cross between a Cyber-Jock and Immersion Freak, that is when I get the time to play any game long enough online. Love games with a great back story, that help me immerse myself into the game, or if based on sports, have enough realism to make me think this is the closest I will get to doing it. If I analysed my GP3 playing habits, I'd classify myself as a test driver, don't have the time to really do races, but prepared to spend small amounts of time trying to prefect my setups.. I love playing games that I can lose many hours without realising it. I think in online gaming, like Jedi Outcast, there is already an very well established backstory to the universe in which it is set, which seems to have people branding people with titles and insults that they wouldn't get in other games... Everyone loves the idea of being this honourable Jedi Knight, doing it all by the book, above board, but remember one of the main protagonists in the movies is the underhanded and deceitful Sith. Two sides there are to every stereotype.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Webster Posted June 5, 2002 Author Share Posted June 5, 2002 I have yet to encounter a Imeshion junky playing the role of a Sith lord in earnest. Lot's of Lightning spammers and grippers, but no one who'll take the time out to make "If only you knew the power" comments. Maybe I've just missed 'em.
