Third 'prefer video games to sex', Your Thoughts?

Post by programmerinprogress »

So, I was looking around, and I found this article
http://tech.uk.msn.com/news/article.asp ... ocid=today

I just wanted to know people's thoughts on this.

Maybe i'm the crazy one in all this, but I think I belong to the two-thirds majority, I mean I used to play loads of games, but now i'm not so fussed, I mean yeah, I sometimes anticipate getting a new game, but not so much that I would turn down a bit of rumpy pumpy :lol:

This got me thinking a little bit, could the advertisers and marketing experts be brainwashing us into forgetting our natural human instincts? I think so! I study media at A-Level and I know they get up to that kind of crap!

Anyway I was just wandering what people's thoughts were on this, from some of the past posts i've seen on this forum, I have a rough idea what kind of answers I might get, but we'll see ;)

Click here to see the hidden message (It might contain spoilers)
just in case you didn't bother reading my post because I went on a bit, heres what I was saying:
- Games = good
- Sex = good
- Games instead of sex = bad
nuff said :lol:

I think I can program pretty well, it's my compiler that needs convincing!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now a joke to lighten to mood :D

I wander what programming language anakin skywalker used to program C3-PO's AI back on tatooine? my guess is Jawa :P

Valid point, I think it matters quite a lot, I guess it depends on an individuals own personal agenda, and the partner they have)

I think it also depends on the games people play, and how they percieve and digest games (are they addicted?, do they play for fun?, do they play because there friends do?, actually those three points could be attirbuted to sex aswell I guess)

For the 12-steppers, sex while gaming as a transition to sex. :)
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

I play video games due to lack of sex. I'd gladly choose sex over games. Granted, I mean sex with a good-looking, clean woman over a really fun game.
