I have to participate in a WWII reenactment. Person A - Oh, that sounds interesting. Have fun. Person B - Oh I will. Person B procedes to play a WWII shooter the rest of the night Logged

:3 Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 2485	I really don't see a point giving video games some pretentious title. I mean, "video games", suits it fine. I hate it when new things are given some stupid formal/latin/greek title. Video games is the term. It's not changing.

O_O lol grammar wars.

I had someone on this very forum say to me "I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE USE BAD GRAMMER". <rofl

anyway.

It may not be the most elegant term for playing video games, but I usually call it "not masturbating"...

It makes it so much easier when people ask me what I'm doing...

"Travis! What are you doing?"
"I'm not masturbating, thats what I'm (not) doing"

You see how that works? lol
