Without video games where would you be?

Cribbed from the Gamespy forum. What does this more august body think? What would you be involved with now if the technology never advanced past say Mattel's hand held football?

With gaming in my blood (especially the comaradiere it brings), I would be back to the table for classic board games, wargames and rpgs.

I''d be posting on Monopoly payers with jobs?

I would be a doctor, lawyer, or dead. Not sure.

Jeez, Flux not much fun there Well maybe the playing doctor part...

Masturbating.

Well... masturbating more.

Skinny and well rested.

LOL!

Me, running around the back-yard with my arms out making fighter-jet noises.

Wooooooooooooooooooosh!

Mr.Swarvey introduces the next topic, without pron where would you be? Sure to be a frightful one...

Please no Spiegel catalogs!

I would probably have left my IT career by now to teach guitar or something. For that matter I may have not even been in IT.

Would the jet noises be a result of too much or too little self-made man-love?

During, methinks, during.

I''d spin in a circle until I fell down.

Well, I''d probably still be living in Pennsylvania, for one thing, as it''s my passion for gaming that got me a job out here in Los Angeles.

Without pron?
Hmm... I''d be a more generous, giving lover, able to take my time and concern myself only with my woman''s needs and desires.

THANK GOD FOR PRON!!!

I don''t know, I suspect I would have finished college a couple years faster than I did though. So many hours I should have been studying spent playing doom and later quake

I''d probably be productive, rich, and famous.

I''d be stalking up behind my parents ala Splinter Cell and grabbing them by the neck.

Same here. Add well rested to the mix.

God, who knows. Probably richer and so much more bored at work (because there would be no GWJ or other gaming websites.)

I''d be developng the technology so that we could play video games.

Better educated, better paid, more sociable and would have a girlfriend.

Seems we have trend here, ""Games, destroyer of worlds"". Of course with a title like that I would probably want to PLAY it.

Graduating this May probably. Would have married the same woman with or without games. Less sociable than I actually am, if that''s possible

I''d have a lot more money in my pocket and time on my hands.

Wealthy, successful and ""Making Something of my Life""™

Without games"… I guess I would have been a male model, make good money, be stupid and enjoy the wonderful life on drugs"…

[shrugs] "…that's disturbing!

Nei, is your name Tim by chance?

:shock:...

:shock:...no? why...?

LOL, nothing big. I just know (of) a Tim F. who lives in NY, and likes Anime, and has done modeling, and enjoys games, and is also an artist(your avatar looks like something he would do). He worked in Yellowstone for a summer, really neat guy.

Sorry, so many similarities, I had to ask.

I couldn''t have possibly put it better. Although i''d like to think my masturbation levels might not change, nor involve plane noises...

[size=4]Everyone knows you make train noises when you''re doing the Han Solo.[/size]

Richer definitely
