Are you a "Gamer?"

[GTP]

I'm tending more toward single player or playing offline if I can.
It becomes tiresome.
Last night in L4D2 a girl who claimed she was 17 (I suspect 10?) kept shooting everyone and going on about her BF.
I dont raise my voice or swear in game. Its a no no as far as I'm concerned. So I rationally asked her why she felt the need to do this?
"No reason, just think its fun."
I did eventually block her after other players left.

Been playing this lots - is cool can even bring up youtube and place the window anywhere, or place your own MP3's in a folder to play. Their is even tension on the line you can feel.

New Gaming addiction.. Valheim. I purchased it about three months ago and still learning.
This game is so damn addictive and $20! sold over 5 Million copies and early dev of 5 devs. Is a freaking awesome game - about the only game I play on Steam.

I play single player as hate ppl in general in my own time.

An amazing accomplishment - been playing for about 40 hours - no google tips. Just understanding mechanics and is fkn seamless.

@Barcelona wont like it as is 3rd person

@Barcelona wont like it as is 3rd person

I'm with @Barcelona and hate 3ard person gaming but many of my favorite games are 3ard person and I just put up with it. (3ard person playing inside a building with tight spaces is just a nauseous mess for me....)

Going old school...for nostalgia...some of those online Quake 3 games that run through your browser....
Have a few of us old Quake heads play there.

Quake 3

+1

That was when I really began multi-player and LAN tournaments, etc.

 

[YeOldeStonecat]

DM17 (Longest Yard)....oh yeah!

Still play Q3A when I get bored. Simple fast and so much fun on Nightmare.

Edit: Just finished Quake 2 for the 7th time.

My friend plays 3rd person games a lot, and I watch her broadcasts.
Tomb Raider, GTA 5, Dragon Age, Dishonoured, Assassins Creed, Fallout 4 and a many others require TravelCalm 30 mins before gametime to stop me from vomiting....

She recently bought me Serious Sam 4 as a gift and I'm really loving it although its "different" to Serious Sam 3 in the character modelling. Its more "cartoonish."

Even though its a FPS, I was getting nauseous.
I stumbled on a "Anti Motion Sickness" setting and wow what a difference.

Really? Never heard of such. All 3P games need this.

Around here it's UT4 (Unreal Tournament 4) when bored or friends want to try LAN gaming. We have UT4 Demo loaded up on 4-5 machines here and every now and then have an UT4 LAN fest.

Havent had to take TravelCalm since finding these sttings so they obvously work.

I clicked AutoPrevent and adjusted the wiew and weapon bobbing. (I dont mind a little bobbing.)
Chose "First Person" too.

Love the comedy in the game too, like the single solitary health bottle worth 1 health point.
Pick it up and all hell breaks loose and comes for you..hehe.

Lately I've been playing Serious Sam 4.
They just never stop coming at you......

Oh and L4D2 of course, the best game ever made.
