Goemawers keep buying up the assembly line crap, no surprise here.

How is Counter Strike treating you?

1. I've played it like twice in the last 5 years.
2. How is Counter-Strike an assembly line game? It came out 13 years ago and has had 2 off-shoots.

Never said it was. I thought that's what all you PC gamers play.

playing counter strike even once in the past 5 years is actually alot.

ugh, FINALLY had some time this last week to dust off the PS3. Beat the campaigns for both MW3 and Black Ops. Have Uncharted 3 and RDR to unwrap next. Been nice to take out some aggression.

So, you were able to beat them over your lunch hour?

I'm about half way through Mass Effect 3. Good so far. I kind of wonder just how bad the supposed bad ending is.

All I play is SWTOR, everyone point and laugh at me. Looking somewhat forward to Guild Wars 2.

I introduced my sons to my old Atari 2600 yesterday.

My 8 year old said: "that's probably why there was a great depression".

My 11 year old said: "its cool to play classic old-timer games".

They lasted nearly an hour before going back to the Wii. I was surprised it was that long.

I played my Atari all the time when I was young. I don't think I ever looked back after I got my NES, though.

I understand why people get bored with SWTOR but it works for me. Love being rewarded for having alts.

Oh, I agree. My 11 year old actually kind of liked it.

This game is extremely fun. Can be extremely hard to beat.

I think they are making a good ending as DLC, though.

It's responsible for the video game crash of '83

greed, for lack of a better word, is good.

also, without the crash, we may never have seen the NES.

I had no idea this was a thing. This is a great read, actually:

Love that Quaker Oats was developing video games and Atari buried unsold cartridges in New Mexico.

i'd like to go on record as being an owner of two of the terrible games they mentioned in the article- pac man and e.t.

i can still hear the stupid pac man sound effects

also, i was young and just thought that et was really hard. didn't know that it didn't actually work.
