Is this seriously for real? If so, grow the fk up you immature plebs!

Isn't there more important things going on in life right now?

Do you think your lack of face to face social skills and knowledge of how to cope in real life is due to you spending too much time in front of a screen, or were you like this before being a hermit?
Do you think that switching off your electric devices for long periods of time and getting out into the real world would benefit you or would you prefer not to and are happier doing what you do now?

Do fk off with your media fed bullst.

Never mind that, he's going to switch off his electric [sic] devices and go into the real world of what exactly? The Taliban?

But I guess those who have never met him are better qualified to offer advice.

Of course, it's how Pistonheads works.

I guess you're part of his Halo clan or something then?

I think the other bloke is right..As is boobles.

I've had similar happen to me. Best friends with a guy for years. He was in our social group and we all went on holiday together, spoke regularly etc. One day he rings me as normal, and I was a bit busy, so I said I'd call him back in 10 mins. Tried to call back, but no answer. Haven't spoken to him since! This was approaching 4 years ago now. Tried texting, e-mailing etc.

It gets even stranger though, as he deleted his Facebook, changed his number etc. It was driving me crazy not knowing what had happened. So I messaged a few of our mutual friends through Facebook. And it turns out they were going through the same thing! He as good as vanished off the face of the earth! Nobody has spoken to him, and it still confuses me to this day!

You are your 'friend', and you've been dead all along.

Yours helpfully,

M Night Shamatalan

Nope, don't know either - have loved this thread though. Just a gamer bored of the whole 'gaming is sad' brigade.

Been a massive gamer - coincidently since Halo actually - doesn't affect my social life, working life, sex life, golf handicap or anything else. Does make me pity those that believe it does - they must have something missing in their own lives.

like spending quality time with the family rather than sitting playing computer games all night.

That as maybe, but it does sound like we have found a couple of these types in this instance :



I used to play a lot of computer games in my teens, they were great fun. Now I can't think of anything more pointless and dull.

Well my Dad is dead, when he was about I still went to football every week with him and played golf whenever I could.

I see my mum, brothers and sisters more than once a week. Visit my only remaining grandparent fortnightly and am shortly off to Australia to visit my uncle and his family.

So don't be concerned, my life is fine, you must be missing something in yours to feel the need to judge others.

Bit weird. It's just a hobby, like anything else. It's not like he can only do one or the other.

I must be missing so much in my life that I don't feel the need to justify it to strangers.

[Boydie88]

But obviously enough to feel the need to criticise strangers.

Only computer nerds....

I love how this thread has turned into some sort of counselling session and everyone pouring their hearts out. It's cute to watch.

[itannum990]

Weird thread is fking massively weird.

It's the same psychology behind any form of bullying, pointing out the perceived flaws in others to make yourself look and feel better. Haters gonna hate

[boobles]

I don't hate anyone my fellow PHer & the fact that I own an XBox would indicate that I too like to play games etc. (Just not played any for about a year now but that's irrelevant)
