    No because football has been around as long as any of us, movies are something couples or families can do playing computer games past 16 is just for nerds and saddos IMO

    No but I get it and I think it will come more of a thing, let’s face it going and and meeting the opposite sex will be ever harder, lack of pubs price of going out and the introduction of all the new sexes that has happened.

    It's a 250 billion dollar a year industry. I'd say it's already a thing.

    Not sure what your point is about 'sexes', and it's a rabbit hole I'm not following you down.

    Oh, so you were being serious. :confused:

    Right. How does any of that even make sense? Do you realise that humans have entertained themselves with all sorts of games since the dawn of mankind? Even video games have been around for much longer than most people on this bbs. It seems quite obvious that you know absolutely nothing about video games, which is of course fair enough, but maybe you shouldn't be so quick to call people saddos or nerds or whatever.

    We play video games as a family. Have done for the best part of 15 years. Loads of fun to be had on the Wii.

    Currently play Jackbox games on the Xbox.

    We also play board games. They've been around for centuries in one form or another? Are they ok?

    Chatting shit on an internet forum is definitely a geeky pursuit. Just admit you're one of us.

    People do what they like for entertainment mate. If they get a bit of fun out of it, don't hurt anyone, don't hurt themselves why have a pop at them? Give me a friendly geeky person any day. Video games are fun for some folks just as is tiddlywinks or crochet.
