Somehow in discussions last night the subject of things ppl do in retirement came up and I had the following funny thaught.

Forty years from now, Instead of Bowls and Golf, will our retirement home central halls echo to the sounds of geriatrics yelling "HAH! 0WNED n00b!!" while engaged in Doom 14 multiplayer mode?


What will our grandkids think? :)

hahaha, never thought of that!!

They will think we suck at the games and will be owning us :D
Or they will think why we still use the mouse and keyboard, the differnce between old skool and new school will be in the controling devices :p

ahah we will be like in my day we had no virtual games . We used a keyboard and mouse. they will be like WOWOWOWOWO tell me more. and we can be like and we used Microsoft windows . and they will be like wowow but linux took over years ago lol

I bet the young'uns of that time as an act of rebellion, will revert to using correct english.

Damn we'll never understand a word they say!

ahahaha and we can be like we spelt words with Numbers like 1337 lol ahahahah

Wow rapid fire due to the parkinson's tremours

lol gumby

i know i'll be using gaming terms 40 years down the track with my best mates

because what is funnier than an old fart playing quake and laughing

"OWNED NOOB"

And we wont be complaining about how the latest games are not as good as the old ones, because we wont remember them. Everyday will be like a new game! w00t :D

Well i dont think i'll stop playing video games for a long time yet. When i decide to have kids i'll get them into video games and computers as such.

the only prob. which may happen to some of us is the dulling of our eyes.

the electrons shoot from the guns through the shadow mask hitting the phosphor dots, lighting them up, then the electrons keeps going hitting the back of our eyeballs...

have you ever gone to bed after a big gaming session and have watering/sore/feeling a bit hot eyes..

yep, its that over bright monitor bombarding your eyeballs with electrons.

LCD monitors don't have this effect on your eyes as it gets lit up by a cool cathode backlight.

hmmm.. by the time we are all that old we will not need eyes, just a com. jack in the back of your head.

I 8> My lCD :)

I'm with Primal. I reckon it'll be matrix style jacking in :) The QGL Retirement Home will look like a coma ward in a hospital with a bunch of wrinkled old people lying in beds hooked to machines going "bing" - a catheter hooked up and a drip feeding intravenous jolt :)

Pussies :)

My eyes are imune to monitors!

Ppl at tafe would cry about them after 2hrs and need to walk away cause of sore eyes

I could sit at a monitor for 30hrs+, no worries :)

TUFF!

I reckon i could teach my grandma how to play now .. shes a cainer :)

yeah! I've been staring into monitors sice 1979 and my eyesight is still way above average.

damn I hope that fuzzy thing I'm typing on is the keyboard.

I think im slowly drifting away from games and i cant seem to get back to it... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I sort of only get into games now if they are REALLY good. I gotta be in the mood. Its a bit of a shame. Still, I dont mind playing a bit so that should prolly not change. I cant see myself still playing games when I am 70.

I think im slowly drifting away from games and i cant seem to get back to it... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

know that feeling, theres just nothing that's realy interesting me at all it seams

can you imagine if the qgl forum boards keep going for 40years people like teen will have a post count of nearly 1 million and a new generation of spam whores will be around

what would happen if trog and all the admins pass away somehow ? does this mean there's goin to be a civil QGL war to regain the power of the mighty trog throne up in the mountains somwhere ???

/bs

"OWNED YOU f***ING GRANDPA" "WTF, THAT WAS BULLs*** YOU WRINKLY FART"

Is it meowing? If so you're typing on the cat...

If you want to know what it's like so bad, why dont you just ask Term, Obes and Mantra.

/me runs.

mantra still hasn't managed to hit me yet

guess it affects eyesight ;)

how old are term, mantra and obes?

yeah I read something ages ago and part of it said "the people of our great grandparents played shuffleboard in their retirement years, we will play quake" or something like that. If I ever get too weak to lift my own hands to a keyboard or do stuff for myself I don't think I'd wanna be alive. I've seen old people that just sit in a wheelchair all day not moving (not being able to move). I don't wanna end up like that.

Is it meowing? If so you're typing on the cat...

Ah! That explains the blood on my fingers.

sif we'll be wired to our hardware...

We're already going Wireless...

"....BASHED @ THE MEDICINE CABNET"

hahaha :D

I'll be proud to say I was there when the whole gaming thing started with the original gamezor machine, the 2600.

yes sunny, back in my day we didnt have photon accelerators the size of wrist watches.
