(Dang,dang,dang I was logged out again and lost my post )

Anyway, to make my lost post short. If you read Mephs post above you will note that except the part:"I vote other..." most of the rest made no sense whatsoever. It doesn't need clarifying because I am betting that he knew exactly what he meant.

The biggest issue I have from this site is, way to many people desire clarification. Its not bad in moderation but anything can be over done. What few of you even consider is, just because I didn't ask you to clarify something didn't necessarily mean I understood it.

In many cases, its only as important as the individuals who want to fight about it make it become.

Mr. Reno and I disagreed. I would hope he feels the same now about me as he did prior to posting today. Be that good or bad is irrelevant. The discussion stayed within the boundaries of normal two way communication. At least IMO it did.

Its sad when you think about it. We did not need peace makers in most, if not all of the past ordeals.

If I upset you Reno, I sincerely apologize.

What if its simply a case of, I cannot put it into words? At least not simply words.

I prefer the games I mentioned (which ever thread that was, I cannot remember)

I play only those kinds. I play them on my PC. I have attempted to play the same games a few times, when I can locate a title thats the same (IE Doom,Quake,Etc,etc) and the game is never as enjoyable.

It could be that I should pick an original title and try from scratch, but then we get to my second issue which is the controller. As fancy as they have gotten, they are still basically the original Nintendo type apparatus. There could be, and may very be other types of controllers, but the simple fact is, I love the keyboard/mouse procedure of play.

Thirdly, although I do not use my PC for anything but games, the fact remains I could if I chose to. I already have spent 1,000's upon 1,000's since I got my very first computer. I really do not want to expand further.

Lastly, although I love computer games, I do not agree that all are good fun. For instance, not to contradict Mr. Myrk, but I hate Farcry. Its silly, its graphics are not nearly as phenomenal as people claim and the maps are not to my taste. Not exactly horribly made, I just didn't favor them, as opposed to say a comparably made Unreal 2 map. Perhaps I favor the futuristic over the beach comber.

The bottom line is, I have no satisfactory answer for you. My answer suits me perfectly, but there is still the chance that my answer still leaves you baffled.

I would also like to mention. My children used to play nothing but mindless driving games. Something or other L.A. something. (its an old title and probably put away where I cannot find it) They are not here now, so I cannot ask. The point is, driving over people wantonly just doesn't do it for me.

Their current favorites are, Phantom Dust, Burnout 3 and Halo 2. ( I peeked on the desk)

I watched them play these three titles. Burnout sucks, its a driving game after all. Halo 2? The maps look more blocky than HL1. With so much power at their disposal, why are the maps so ugly. Phantom Dust. I am reserving judgment. It looks interesting but the 3rd person perspective drives me nuts.

So there you are. If this extended reason doesn't suit you as adequate, I have no more to add cause, I do not have more to add. I am not avoiding your question, I just have no other reason.

what!? you must be kidding! (downloading..)
