Gaming is great, hanging out with people is great. It seems like more and more these things are drifting apart.. Split screen co-op mode was my favourite thing growing up and it gets difficult to take machines round to each others houses and set them up now for a LAN session without a lot more work.

I mean it's slightly hypocritical but I need to meet more people who play games, I'm not gonna do that playing stuff obviously.. maybe being more active on a forum might help. Feel free to add me on steam V_V <3 Chaz_Avios

I don't know enough people with the same play style as me..

I hate being a gamer sometimes, when I think about it anyway. Then I go back to playing games ^_^ <3

Rant over.

you're from that strange isle, considered the rockpapershotgun social club?

well, anyway, ima hijack the thread for a short rant on the "social" part of gaming. nowadays gaming is so "social" that loot drops are to be player specific in loot centric games - why not be honest and call it "band of egoists" gaming, why the label "social"? i mean i get it but i don't wanna - devs basically admit that a lot of people are diehard selfish jerks and kinda rewarded that when they really wanted to attenuate jerkish behaviour on others (who aren't like that) in a game. seems like they just feed the cycle... :undecided:

there... not feeling better at all. ;)
