Video Game Statistics

Videogame Statistics

(click on picture to get a better view)

I'm part of the 35% that doesn't play video games. Though I am aware of the Duck Hunt and Super Mario Brothers games for the original Nintendo. I had those. I remember a friend of mine had the N64 (I think that was the console), and he used to kick the crap out of me in some James Bond game. I broke like 3 of his controllers before I wasn't allowed to play anymore.

61 comments:

  1. Oh, the name of the game was Goldeneye. I hated that game. I used to get lit up all the time.

  2. Everyone knows of that game. Games are the shit, I was fucking people up in GTA during that sports talk.

    ReplyDelete
  3. I used to get so pissed off playing that. I really did crack his controllers. At first he thought it was funny, then he got pissed and banned me from playing.

  4. GTA? Which edition? And were you playing online or what?

    ReplyDelete
  5. GTA 4. Not online, I just bought this last week so I'm still playing through the story.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Hell yea. What could be better than running around in a virtual city causing havoc? This is probably one of the only games I can play for hours without actually accomplishing anything in terms of the story line or game progress.

  7. The only one worth having - a PS3. By the way, that number in the chart is badly skewed. I'm pretty sure Microsoft admitted to at least 50% of all 360's having hardware failures.

    ReplyDelete
  8. 50%? Really? And I take it you wouldn't own an XBOX?

    And do you actually take advantage of the Blue-Ray?

    ReplyDelete
  9. I'm not opposed to owning one, but I wouldn't pay for it. I guess that really isn't saying much. I wanted an Xbox to begin with but for the first couple years I held out on getting a console. By the time I made my choice, literally every friend I had with an Xbox had to send it in for repairs. It's been years since they've released the consoles now and the 360 is still plagued by a well-known problem.

    I love the Blu-Ray. I didn't buy the console for it, but it's a huge bonus. The movies are really that much better, especially if you have a TV that can make use of the added quality and resolution. Even on my Moms crappy Wal-Mart off brand TV looks great when playing Blu-Ray movies. That and the extra disc space is useful for games.

  10. I really need to pick up a PS3. I've been saying for awhile I need to buy one, I just never have. To me, the Blue-Ray make is a worthwhile purchase.

    ReplyDelete
  11. *makes it* a worthwhile purchase.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I'd say it's worth it, even if you're not very big on games. It's a very capable media hub. It has a full web browser, not that you'd want to use it over a computer but it's nice being able to casually watch streamed videos from Hulu or Youtube on your living room TV without moving stuff around.

    I have about 80 movies saved on the HDD along with a couple gigs of music and probably use it for movies as much as I do for gaming.

    ReplyDelete
  13. spurs, also you can upgrade your ps3 hard drive and you wont get banned from online games. xbox does suck. another selling point is cod mw2.

  14. "I have about 80 movies saved on the HDD along with a couple gigs of music and probably use it for movies as much as I do for gaming."

    Yeah, that and the web browser makes it seem like it's worth it.

    ReplyDelete
  15. "another selling point is cod mw2."

    I agree.

    ReplyDelete
  16. besides food and water, the only other thing you need is ps3.

    ReplyDelete
  17. And some weed. And a woman around. Sometimes.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Speaking of weed, did you end your sober streak? What kind of shit you gettin over there in Texas?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Nope, not yet. Sober streak is still on. And as far as the weed. Well, for the most part it's regular shit, but it can be really good here. I get kind bud (or whatever fancy name the dealer chooses to put on it) sometimes, but I can get high off regular shit if it's good. Which for the most part it is.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Well, there are 4 general different kinds of weed to me. You got your regular stuff, but need some distinction between book-pressed-brown and the shit you get around Christmas time which is basically a low grade chronic. Then there is actual Chronic. Again, we need some distinction between "well, it's not amazing but it's definitely not shwag" and special strains.

    For a long time I swore off the reggies. When I started doing construction work I bought a couple dime sacks off a guy I worked with and when shit got slow I was getting regular dubs for the work week and only buying chronic on the weekends.

    Lately though, a connection getting me some amazing stuff from Cali basically fell into my lap. I have some things "arranged" and aren't too worried about saving a couple bucks buying the regular stuff anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  21. The strains I have been getting seem legit, too. I'm not big on names but I have spotted similarities between the stuff I'm getting and descriptions of the strains from books and the web. I like to describe bud at that level as "bombs."

    ReplyDelete
  22. "Bombs" indeed. A buddy I went to high school with used to get all sorts of the strains you are referring to. When he quit selling, I kind of stopped looking for the really good shit. But finding good regular weed isn't that hard. I mean some of the stuff has hairs on it. The guy I get it from stays away from dirt. Which is good.

    ReplyDelete
  23. The guy I was getting from at work was hit and miss. One day it would be fluffy, nearly seedless and very pungent. Next day it would be some gritty shit. Which is why I love chronic. Never come across mature chronic that tasted bad.

    The stuff I have now blew me away when I first saw it. Easily the best looking, tasting and smoking stuff I have had in a long time. Almost don't want to smoke it. It's like killing a unicorn.

    Good one man. I'd like to get ahold of some of that stuff when I start smoking again.

  25. You are up pretty late tonight EV.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I've been up late every night for a while. My company is in-between contracts, more free time than I can handle. I actually hate not working. I can't help but feel like a lazy piece of shit sitting around all day. I'd rather be working overtime.

    ReplyDelete
  27. When do you think you'll go back to work?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Now that you mention it, though, I'm going to call it a night. Getting tired and I need some rest to prepare for this next big GTA mission.

    ReplyDelete
  29. All right man, good night. Good luck on your next big GTA mission. That was funny.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I'm told we have some contracts lined up for the end of the month to start working. I won't believe anything until I see some slabbing being done. I'll see you later Spurs.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Later on EV. Thanks for coming by tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Im not coming here anymore if Im going to have to look at eagles helmets and half posted images

    ReplyDelete
  33. "Last night on Late Night At Spurs, EV and Spurs discussed sports and the gaming industry.....all night! It's comments you don't want to miss!"

    haha...I'm kidding. But I still think talking about ebabies and torture methods is more exciting.

  34. Cherry Cherry Boom Boom!
    Good Morning Everyone!!
    Wop, did you not have your coffee this AM?
    Kevin-if you were my friend I would want you around all the time just to smell you. Weed sometimes smells good to me,...particularly weed breath (right after someone smokes). Weird, I know, but whatevs, I'm cool besides the part where I will be leaning in to sniff your mouth.
    Spursy-I did not know you were sober. Are you doing the 12 steps program? Good luck to you. I hear sobriety can be difficult.

    I am amped for some reason. I may hop back on the treadmill for another 30 if this is my reward.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Oh and Spurs-my Kaspersky says you should get rid of your ad you have here. Just sayin.

    DG-can I come to your wedding? I promise not to sleep with the best man in the bathroom.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yes, you can come to the wedding. But the best man at the wedding is almost better than the groom. It would be wrong of me to not let you sleep with the best man at the wedding. But it's my wedding so I get him first.

    ReplyDelete
  37. You like the smell of weed breath? That is a bit odd. I usually don't like anyone breathing on me unless there is supposed to be alot of breathing going on.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Deeg-make me your maid of honor and I will gift a threesome to you with him and me. I am thoughtful like that.
    Wop-Getting To Know You Friday helped. Awesome. We shall play again this Friday. Be here or be square.

  39. KB,

    I am drinking a mint mocha coffee with whipped cream and shredded candy canes. It is very delicious!

    I look fwd to the 3some. Just don't let my hubby know. We will have to use code words.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Is it just my computer because only half of the video game statistics are showing up on my screen.

    ReplyDelete
  41. no, mine is doing that too. I am just as bummed as you are, DG.
    That drink sounds delish!
    Do not go to Aspen. Too much work. Tell him if he is really your friend he will keep his offer and let you go some other time.
    I want to go to Aspen though.

  42. "Im not coming here anymore if Im going to have to look at eagles helmets and half posted images"

    Nothing I can do about the image Wopness.

  43. "Oh and Spurs-my Kaspersky says you should get rid of your ad you have here. Just sayin."

    You actually ended up signing up for Kaspersky kinkyb!tch? I thought it was screwing up your Itunes?

    ReplyDelete
  44. I am on the fence about that one, Spurs. I thought it did, so I removed it. Then I thought it was my cord (some little fucker that was over chewed it), so I stole my BIL's cord (he dropped his in the toilet, he didn't need the cord anyway) and it worked fine. So I reformatted my iPod, it was working fine, but it was giving me shit again the other day, but I was using one of the ports that is retarded. Idk, if it keeps being a douche, I think I will remove it again.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yeah, there are other programs out there if you need something else. So did you accomplish anything exciting this weekend kinkyb!tch?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Well, that depends on who you ask. I took BH's advice and had some alcohol. I discovered not only is it enjoyable (apparently I have been drinking the wrong things), I also am able to drunk text/email. I am talented, what can I say?
    What about you Spursy?

    ReplyDelete
  47. "I also am able to drunk text/email."

    That is talent kinkyb!tch. As far as me? Just the usual. Helped solve the world's problems.

    ReplyDelete
  48. It is, Spurs. Proper grammar, punctuation AND spelling were all in effect. I think. I believe I got a pass on the all caps, so I'm good.

    That was nice of you to save the world's problems while watching Role Models and sticking to your 12 steps program. You're a good guy, Spurs. Speaking of problems, I saw some discussion about Haiti. If any of you had the opportunity to go to Haiti and assist their country/popoulation, would you?

    I must go shower now. I will be thinking of Haiti while I am in there (Haiti=Mr. Begbie).

    With the exception of my question I posed to you all. That Haiti is the real Haiti.

    ReplyDelete
  50. You're good.

    And thank you. But I happen to think I'm a great guy.

    As far as Haiti? That depends. How much would I get paid?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Stop talking about me in the shower, Spurs.
    I mean, I did throw it out on purpose, so you could get that image in your head (my good deed for the day), but I didn't give you my permission to speak of it. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  52. and your payment for Haiti assistance is the satisfaction of making a difference in someone's life.
    Come on, Spurs. That was a serious question.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I know you were being serious with your question. And the answer is yeah, I'd probably go. Just depends on who I was going with, and some other factors. Like what I would be doing.

    What about you kinkyb!tch? Would you go?

    ReplyDelete
  54. DG:

    Have you decided whether or not to go tonight?
