Title: How many of us spend more time here than playing our ps2\'s
Post by: jeepnrocks on January 09, 2001, 03:07:14 AM: I was curious about this one since i noticed that i am here much more than on my ps2 these days. I have pretty much played the heck out of every game released so far and now I\'m dying for something new. how about you guys ?
p.s. anyone have fifa 2001? I haven\'t gotten this yet but heard it was cool. It sewems like it would be similar to hockey but on a larger scale.

LOL Yes, but that\'s the problem with Fifa 2001 - it does play like a poor game of ice hockey, however, in real life the sport of soccer bears no resemblence to hockey! It\'s a very very poor game IMO, rent it first. I\'m glad I didn\'t have to buy my copy.

Post by: Julien on January 09, 2001, 05:03:13 AM: Im definitely spending more time here than playing ps2...but theres an explanation : Im connected all day long from work
to check new threads and responses, and I\'m only playing when im back home...

As im living with a girl, unfortunately I dont spend 6 hours in a row playing like I used to....good thing is that games last longer !!!

Well, maybe this will change in march...

Post by: on January 09, 2001, 07:57:58 AM: Well, I don\'t think this forum gonna be that empty. When you guys start playing the "March Games" and amazed by its supernatural graphics, then there will be to urge to tell them your story, that "them" will be people in this forum.
Title: Im here all day
Post by: kirath on January 09, 2001, 08:26:48 AM: I am here all day cause I am at work, so its easy for me. But I am never here when I am at home. I am usually working on my computer system there or playing Final Fantasy IX.

yeah
thats right
Title: How many of us spend more time here than playing our ps2\'s
Post by: politiepet on January 09, 2001, 09:55:34 AM: i spend more time here too (I\'m starting to think everyone does), when I come back from school, I imediately go here, unless the pc\'s taken.
I guess that\'s gonna change when this game is released:
can you guess what game this is? LOL

Post by: Darth Joyda on January 09, 2001, 10:07:53 AM: Usually I spend much more time here than playing PS2 :)

But it depends.. today I don\'t have the time to be here... and I played PS2 with my friend so TODAY I\'ve spent more time with PS2 than computer...

But still usually I post here... why? Because I enjoy it...

But of course spending time with a friend is much more fun playing Timesplitters than surfing net...

Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on January 09, 2001, 10:11:21 AM: I spend gaming to PS2 abot 2 hours per day and in the weekend about 4... in internet I spend about 3 Hours. But March is different in USA (here, in europe, about June) with the online game. And I must tell al you that the first online game for ps2 is releasing in Japan on March 8th. It´s Atrain-6 and you can find more information in coremagazine.com

Post by: on January 09, 2001, 01:08:02 PM: Football (soccer) is like hockey but on a larger scale??! WHAT!?? That\'s like comparing basketball with golf except on a smaller scale and without clubs. Please don\'t insult the wonderful world of football as I get offended easily when it comes to this incredible sport (as u may have noticed :P ). Anyway you may like FIFA2001 it\'s a nice game though admittedly not al that great.

About posting, I dont\'t post much as it shows from the date i registered and the no. of posts i have although i do spend more time reading other posts than playing games. Anywayz I have a humble question : since I am one of the oldest members of this forum isn\'t it paradoxical that I\'m a junior member? Can\'t I be ..don\'t know..a senior-not-so-active- member or something of the sort? Maybe mm or bjorn can think of something..please?

:laughing:

Well the only real difference is the fights in Hockey are between the players, the fights in soccer are in the stands.

Then theres the whole Ice/Puck/Skates/Equipment/Bone crushing checks differences.

Hockey rules the planet

you didn\'t understand what he said, he didn\'t compare football to hockey, he compared fifa 2001 to hockey, and he\'s right, cause imo fifa is in no way a football simulation, it\'s one of the fakest football games around, and I personnaly don\'t understand why it\'s so succesfull.
btw. lavan is one of the most diehard football fans as far as i know on this board, so he knows what he\'s saying, ask him about iss, he can tell yo alot about it.

Post by: on January 09, 2001, 01:42:05 PM: Ok my mistake...

But hockey definately does not rule the world!! 90% of the world doesn\'t know what the game\'s about..it is widespread only in USA...not even in Russia which are very good at it (i think) is it very popular. On the other hand football (soccer for most of u) is the no.1 sport in Europe, South AMerica and Africa, and now in Asia as well. When I mean no.1 I mean half the population in these countries live and football especially in ex. Brazil,Argentina,Italy etc

Post by: Mr. Kennedy on January 09, 2001, 06:21:29 PM: To tell the truth, it depends... some days are PS2 days, and other days are forum days... as fate would have it, today was a bit of both.

Just to let you know, I don\'t get home til 7:00PM(School, Wrestling, Friends), and I leave home at 7:45AM, and usually go to bed around 12, so that\'s my spare time chart up there.

Post by: FackinKubuss on January 09, 2001, 06:29:15 PM: Yea my day is mostly a mix too. I get up at 6:00 and the bus for school comes at 7:00. (Hopefully in 2 years I\'ll have my own car) I get hoem at like 2:15. I can do my h/w whenever, or play my PS2 or come here. But once my sister gets home from school, at around 3:30 theres no more computer for awhile, lol. Around 7 I eat, and sumtimes I\'ll watch a movie of my ps2 after dinner, and sumtimes i can\'t play anymore cause my parents watch tv in the same room my ps2 is so i can\'t play alot on weekdays :(

Post by: Solid Snake 88 on January 09, 2001, 06:47:40 PM: I wake up at 6:30 am, go to school at 7:30 am, get off school at 2:30 pm, get home at 3:00 pm, do homework/go on computer/play Ps2(its 7pm here and I\'m still not done with my homework), do one of those I didn\'t do earlier, eat dinner, go to bed at 10-1 pm. Sigh, the hell of school. You know, I don\'t mind school so much, its just the homework that annoys th f*ck outta me.

What do you mean I\'m not sure I understand what you are trying to say
Title: How many of us spend more time here than playing our ps2\'s
Post by: jeepnrocks on January 09, 2001, 07:04:05 PM: sorry if i wasn\'t clear on what i meant on the soccer/hockey thing. I would in no way compare the 2 sports in the real worls. They are, as you sid like comparing apples and bananas or something to that effect. I just meant the gameplay mechanics. It does seem to me that they may play similar due to the similar field/rink and goal setup. Think about both have a field/rink , net/goal, puck/ball , and players trying to score into their opponents net/goal. Soccer, once again in video game land, seems to be on a much larger scale. So if the gameplay is somewhat different then I\'m all for it, but if it is almost the sam e as hockey then i\'ll save my money and just rent it once in a while.
And let me state once again i was only comparing the 2 in the video game sense, as anyone can see how completely different the 2 sports are in the real world
p.s. i heard soccer players run something like 6 miles in one game......ummm ouch (for me anyway)
