Is gaming your Ultimate High?

[elloehpipati]

or are there any other activities (no drugs) that you enjoy more than gaming?

I enjoy basketball immensely. Its something I would kick the habit of gaming for.

SEX!! Sex is beter than everything. For me. Basketball is ok, but I am and have always been a football guy. Don't Can't stand watching any sport. Even fotball, but I like to play it. Basketball requires less contact though and does leave me as sore. I also like billiards. But billiards, basketball and fottball require me to leave the house and or find people that want to play the game. Computer is quicker and easier.

I remember I quit playing video games for the longest time. Thought I would never play them again, but when a friend introduced me to a game that went by the name of resident evil I fell back into it.

When I was a teenager it was always easier to find a better activity, but now I have a limited choice of hanging out and drinking or just drinking. I rather just play a game, becuase I don't like alcohol and hanging out is boring and gets old.

I don't smoke, I don't do drugs and I don't drink. Not even beer. I never fancied stupors.

Well ok... That's a lie. I drink... every now and then when I'm depressed by bordom.

There are some moments in gaming that are better than alot of experiences in real life, like one time in gunbound, i helped my team win the match after a very long battle and everyone's corpse was like "oMGPLS DONT MI55!!!" OMGomg" and i did a boomer shot and killed the guy. Can't beat that. And on several ocassions when I was on a rampage in CS, and everyone was like, "wtf?! since when did the noob become so skilled", that felt great too.

[Gatinater]

Oh yeah, I forgot. Shooting guns. It's fun to do occasionaly, but some people take it too seriously and others are too unsafe to be handling guns.

I'm not a target shooter or a combat shooter. I'm what I consider a casual shooter. I was trained to shoot & handle a firearm tacticaly. I'm not a target shooter I'm more of a combat shooter, but I don't practice on courses anymore. I just do it to every now and then. stay proficient.

For me it's all about speed,rapid fire, and volume, because that's how you improve your accuracy, recovery and response. I figure if I'm going to own guns I should practice using them as weapons so If I ever have to use it for self defense I will be the wrong average person to get into a gun fight with.

Video games such as counterstrike make me laugh. The characters that the players assume the roll of are supposed to be trained, but the inaccuracy of the weapons is horrible. Like they've never used a gun before.

" If you can shoot a 9mm you can shoot a .45" I can take a model 92 and unload it fully loaded 15+1 at a target 25ft away and group all 16 shots in the center mass. Rapid fire. Some might miss, but they still hit the body. Same with a COLT 45. I can unload all 6,7,8+1, all 7-9 shots in the head. Rapid fire. Unsupported. It's not hard if you practice and learn the tenique of countering the recoil with your body weight. Thing with a gun is that you don't miss by feet. You miss by inches or yards, meaning you hit the target an your a little off or you completly miss it. You don't aim for leg or chest miss and hit the head. You either hit somewhere on the leg or body or you completely miss. Meaning you either have the weapon a tad bit out of control or fully out of control and the angle of the barrel is way off target.

I can't help it. It's like a split personality. When I'm horny. Which I am frequently, I think differently. I'm sure plenty of you know what I'm talking about. Trying to reason with myself is impossible as I'll ignore my judgment and tell myself I'm full of shit. Hormones always win.

Don't give me that more to live cliche. I'm still a young man. I'm a just out of the box young man. I already see everything as boring. That's also another reason why I don't care about my life. I can't see spending another 20,40,60 or even 80 years doing the same boring CRAP!! And wanting to live for it.

My ultimate high is....you'll laugh...the rain. I don't know what it is but I like listening to the rain and thunderstorms. Something about it is just relaxing. I can fall asleep so easily to it.

Simulations will never be like shotting a real gun. My experience with real guns often screws me up in the games. As in real life. every shot I fire in rapid fire or auto unsupported hits the center mass while in games shooting 3-5 rounds in rapid fire always misses, because of the stupid jackassed accuracy system. I don't know who designed it and thinks it is reasliztic, but it always screws me up, because I forget and expect it to work like when I shoot a real gun. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif It's in the upper body strength and tenique. If you can put a lot of resistance against that recoil combined with solid stance you will put a high volume of fire down range in a short period of time and deliver someone a serious ass ache.

Stand side ways with resistance on the leg in front of you while putting resistance on the gun. DON'T stand facing forward. Stand sideways so your a small target to the person who may fire back at you. I guess maybe they went with the facing forward in the games to make it easier for the players and or eliminate more animations from running, stopping, blading the body, turning to run again.

I like to watch erotica too. The only problem with that is I can only watch it once. As they have no replay value.

I also listen to music sometimes.

Seriously though, life is boring without school or a job.

When I get the urge to play my on my drum kit, it is just as great as gaming. Listening to Heavy metal music cranked in my car, is also as good as gaming. Having a meaningful and thought provoking discussion, that has some actual depth to it is as high as I could get. Being absorbed in some incredible fantasy novel, because almost no game can compare.

Same here. I've been playing guitar actively about 4 years and been drumming about 4 years too. And I've been doing a few deep death metal gruntting vocals for a band recently. But I don't think nothing gets me as high as drumming. There is just that special something into it.

Another thing that gets me as high or perhaps even higher is of course girls. But the downside to women is that they can also take you to your lowest point. I just reached my all time low last friday...thanks to a woman.

Also photographing is a passion of mine. When you finally nail a damn good photo, it just feels great. Gaming has been brushing out of my life piece by piece lately. First I just wanted to play WoW and now it seems that no game can get me too excited. I can appreciate a game like "Hmm..this is a good game. End of transmission" but I don't really get high over it anymore. Maybe the next Zelda is the only game I'm really looking towards. And Call of Cthulhu just because I'm a huge Lovecraft fan.

Oh yeah, reading is one more thing that can get you up in the clouds. And movies. Hmm...arts in general.

I thought you meant another form of simulation. A lamer one. An armchair commando version. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The C2 guns are just like the real thing in terms of recoil when you get proper charges. Never used em much since most of the departments around here don't care to use them, because they don't believe in the system, don't think they need it or they can't get the money resources and time to set up the training facility and or maintain it.

I don't know how they run things down there, but negligence and complacentcy is the way things are run down here. As they think they don't require the training and equipment until something happens and ends with disasterous results caused by their incompetence.

I've always been saying police stations are under secured, no one pays attention and everyone is off guard. They laughed at me when I said "If someone attacks the station none of you will be able to respond effectivly." I wish I was there when that police station was shot up and burned down so I could say "Who's the ***** now?"

HERE officers get enough duty ammunition for their three magazines and maybe 1 box of practice ammunition a year. law enforcment is the LAST priority here in cleveland. No matter how bad crime may be at times. It's never a priority. No one gets enough practice with a real gun to qualify. No way they would spend money on other training equipment.
