Anyone think hardcore games are losers?

[Krieger]

<p>I hear about these people who camp outside of stores so they can get the new console releases everytime theres a new one. Camping outside of Target for 3 days??? What a bunch of god damn losers, I dont get it. I used to love video games but its pathetic really , as of sept i stopped playing video games alltogether. Ill only play some now , but why do people waste time just so they can play some games that wont matter after they beat them where they can wait like a NORMAL person for it, We live in a society you see and it shouldn't be accepted.</p>

[Krieger]

lol my friend is going to camp at target, what a loser lol. Im gonna crank his cell lol.

[Fallon]

The only thing I can see camping out for is tickets and I'd never even do that.

[furie]

games are fine, but these fanatics, yes they are losers

[Lunakid23]

<p>Nope its pretty normal nowadays, the old game playing sterotype is pretty muh broken. Everyone plays video games.</p>

[Fez4PrezN2008]

Nope. See <a href="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/viewmessages.cfm/Forum/75/Topic/53599/page/Guilty_Pleasure.htm">this</a>.

I think a lot of the people waiting on line just wanted to sell their PS3 on ebay.&nbsp; I wouldn't mind spending maybe a night in a line to turn $600 into $4000 but if your waiting in line for 3 days to play that console yes thats pretty stupid just wait a couple months.

[Krieger]

Oh man its so lame just thinking about it, the only thing i'd ever wait in line for that costed a 3 day wait would be a blowjob from a extremely hot girl and thats only if i have my ipod with me during the wait and if i can sleep through the wait.

<p>Everyone was waiting in line so they could resell the things.</p><p>Opportunistic assholes.</p>

<p>I've&nbsp;pretty much stopped playing too.</p><p>Every once in a while I play Moto GP but that's about it.</p>

My buddy got a brand new projector yesterday and after playing gears of war and fight night on a 200 inch screen i don't care if gamers are considered losers.

[Don Stugots]

i know a guy that bought like 10 of the PS3 and sold them on ebay.&nbsp; all he has to do now is go get them and then ship them to the roobs (SP?) that paid 1200 each for them through ebay.&nbsp; god there are suckers out there just begging for their money to be taken.<br />

[BYOBKenobi]

<p>Hardcore gamer to me is someone who competes at games and takes them very seriously.&nbsp; Ever since ebay made auctions a reality to everyone with an internet connection the people waiting in line for things in short supply don't come off as hardcore gamers for the most part.</p><p>I waited in line for Halo 2 when it was launched, but I had it preordered, it was in stock, and all I had to do was show up at midnight and pick it up.&nbsp; After the letdown I felt on that one it will be a long while until I do THAT shit again.</p><p>I used to compete at Rainbow Six 3 with a team of dudes that were all 20+.&nbsp; Most of the team was made up of sucessful, intelligent people who enjoyed a little competition in their lives.&nbsp; One of our guys is actually a nuke engineer.&nbsp; </p><p>I do agree that there are some people who get so immersed in the games that they come off as really strange... those people are losers, but there are a lot of people who see nothing strange about playing games, act like they do in real life online, and just enjoy the teamwork and competition.</p><p>So I half agree about them being losers.</p>

<p>Who's the bigger idiot? The guy camping out for three days to sell it on ebay, or the idiot who's going to buy it from him for two or three grand?</p>

[Don Stugots]

papa, there are other ways to buy them without standing in line.&nbsp; there are people that can buy or sell in bulk that you can go to their &quot;office&quot;.&nbsp;

[reillyluck]

<p>Im glad i had connections at Gamestop. (rolling on the floor laughing smiley guy goes here)</p>

[feralBoy]

I never understood why people have problems with what people do with there free time.&nbsp; Who cares that some people are fanatical about gaming?&nbsp; There are 15 year old kids pulling in 6 figures because they are great at playing games.&nbsp; Would you laugh at someone who practices basketball for 8 hours a day?&nbsp; Everyone has there own thing, and if you are fanatical about it, more the better.&nbsp; What's worse is people who have zero passion in life.&nbsp;
