Autism, the internet and who cares.

Because consoles are fuck compared to PCs and you can just play online. Some people still do LAN shit (I do), but even then it's an online game played with a friend or two who just bring their PCs over (TF2, Insurgency, WoW, etc.)

15 years later and id bet atleast 70 percent of the kids in that pic are either dead from a heroin overdose or completely burned out from lsd and cocaine

In Australia it's still really common,
LAN parties are really big as well, espically community hosted events,
I'm 20 and I've got a couple people coming over tomorrow to play Yugioh
No shame in it user

Just noticed that kid in the maroon is screenwatching. Fucking faggot

Because they're too busy posting on Hungarian brick-laying forums.

That room must smell horrible.

>video games
kek, underage reported

...

Yeah, we have noticed the quality drop of the posts.

fpbp

I took a break from video games two months ago and I feel sooo much better....I might stop all together.

But I miss going tournaments/socializing. I don't have many friends outside of games.

Explain, Sup Forums?

Nothing to see here

I miss AIM and ICQ so much.

who is this semen demon? I'd punt 6 gorillion babies right now to feel tits that size in my hands and face and mouth

for the last couple of months or so I'm sick of my flat chested "gamer" girlfriend who does nothing but bitch at shit like leaving a glass in the room

moving together was a mistake

Fucking hell! Is that what American kids look like? I know you lads across the Atlantic were mongrelised, but bloody hell!

It's called the internet, you should try it some time

I'd love that, but I'm surrounded by normies who consider such things lame

Looks like Halo 2 glory days circa 2004

speaking of normies, is FIFA the most normie game ever?

DUDE SOCIAL NETWORKING LMAAO

it's called online, dumbass.

Most games these don't allow splitscreen, even the newest Halo. that's what killed the gaming industry.

Are you implying that curly hair makes you a mongrel? Do you not understand that curly hair is found naturally throughout European populations and very much so throughout British Islander populations?

Those are balloons under her shirt, user. It's for a cosplay.

Mommy's off fucking the tennis instructor while daddy's working overtime to pay off the mortgage on an $800 K house while still trying to cover medical, put away for retirement and seed a college fund.

Who's left to drive special snowflakes around for playdates? Better to just dump some cash into a 100/50 Mb/s internet connection and hope junior doesn't overdose on porn too quickly.

The sad thing is, it's the only game anybody over here seems to play splitscreen anymore.
Guess it's due to lack of screenpeeking or something

No, I'm implying those guppy chins, mouths and noses are disgusting.

Sounds like you just don't have any friends fuckhead. I spent a year and a half living with friends playing games in the same room. And now that we've all split to different places, we still get together and do it.
Obligatory >le rong jenneration

Since you are Mexican, I will forgive you for being a computer illiterate. She is Britanny Bors

The good old days...

Nigger, you can literally only see 2 of their faces and they are young teenagers. Do you think that your population or any European population for that matter is somehow immune to those phenotypes?
You're also using pictures from National Geographic, an organization dedicated to globalization.

>that image
>scottish children
Disgusting.

because Americans are to busy punching commies in the face

>the helmet
kek, perfect.

Because the internet mainly.

Secondly would be most games don't have local modes, or lan. Although people still get together to play Nintendo games like snash and Mario kart.

>Scottish
>from South Staffordshire

1. Internet got fast and reliable enough to support large online communities, as opposed to LAN parties and such
2. Game studios started releasing games with shugimped split screen multiplayer modes, or just having none at all

Back in the early 2000's I blew entire summers playing Medal of Honor and 007 nightfire with other neighbrohood kids.

Nowadays you can just log in to online and you don't have to deal with jakes mom being a weird bitch who won't let you bring your soda inside because it's bad for your tooth enamel.

Clearly ethnically Scottish.

Clearly ethnically British.

Social media has replaced physical interaction. Almost all multiplayer video games made today worth playing can be played online over the internet anyway, which means not physical interaction and no weekends playing bond games.

I was just thinking the same thing. These look exactly like kids I grew up with doing the same thing I did. Virtually all of them turned into drugged out burnouts who are just doing shitty floating through life.

They really fucked up our generation. Public education was hilariously fucked when I was a kid and they basically fed us mindwarping psychotropic drugs and legal heroin.

Being a white 32-year old who came from the social class and economic group that's been effectively decimated since 9/11 is pretty fucked up. They really did everything they could to destroy our generation.

Scots are British, so yes. Well done, lad!
>t. English

If you want to get into yugioh you can pick up a starter deck and go to a locals in your area. No friends required.

Well you'd have no choice but to have LAN parties in Australia

I had the same thought. Also, why does it look like it they stand up they'll hit their heads on the ceiling?

Online gaming killed local multiplayer.

Nothing is stopping you from going over to your friend's house and playing with them. Sure, it's vastly inferior to online in every single way, but nothing is stopping you.

It all stopped with the advent of improved internet bandwidth and latency, I used to play in lan parties with 15+ bros in 2004 or so, it was awesome, but at the same time I feel like shit because I won't be able to enjoy something like that again.

>Nothing is stopping you from going over to your friend's house and playing with them

You're a fucking moron.

Most games nowadays don't even have a splitscreen option. I know Halo 5 doesn't (learned that the hard way).

I use to hang out and play games with my friends in high school like 6 years ago. Teens don't do this anymore?

How many local multiplayer games are there these days? I still play multiplayer with a couple friends at home now and then, but always on /vr/ consoles that support it or have multitaps.

Videogames are for manchildren

online gaming is pure bullshit. You might as well just be playing against really skilled bots. Yeah, there are obviously major differences against playing against real humans instead of bots, but when it's completely depersonalized, I just don't see the point. I have never been able to really get into online play. I only ever bother with local muliplayer, whether PC or console.

Because fuck Donald Trump and fuck white people

>I have been out of the competitive scene for two years
>was top 10 at a regional once
Stratos still forbidden?

your life sure is boring, what do you do in weekends go fishing?

Your girl lost

get a job and go back to sucking muslim dick.

Yugioh is for spics, niggers and weaboos. MTG is the white man's tcg.

For real though, WH40k is the only redpilled tabletop game.

You should add overeating to that list.

Man I remember how amazing it was to get together and play 8 man multiplayer halo 2. I remember having to lug my big ass crt TV up a hill so we can have more screens

Some do, it is just less prevalent is it is not a necessary thing to play together anymore. I play local coop with friends at least once at least a week.

They are playing mw2 on 360 can't even that old. They're probably 17-24

>tfw can't play modern games anymore because none of them interest me
>remember how much fun i used to have playing old school games on the N64 and the SNES
>decide to save a little money and buy all those games from my childhood again
>eventually end up hoarding like 30 N64 games and 35-40 SNES games
>buy two controllers for the systems in case i have friends over that wanna play
>turn on N64 and play a little bit of Smash Bros and Pokemon Stadium for a couple minutes
>get bored
>turn it off
>ask myself why i did this in the first place
>wonder if i'll ever be able to enjoy games again

Game developers realized they were losing out on potential profits if kids got together and played at someone's house. Instead they have each kid buy their own system and play from their own houses, plus they milk them even more by making them buy monthly subscriptions. I feel bad for kids growing up nowadays. I was lucky enough to grow up in the n64/ps1/dreamcast era.

All I read was blah blah I'm turning into a normie

>game club at college
>literally only autists in it
>I'm the only semi-normal person

...

you also probably wouldn't enjoy playing with toys either

not sure why you expect to hold the same interests in thing you did as a kid as an adult

I've noticed that I've lost a great deal of interest in video games, which started around the beginning of high school.

I'm almost 21 now and the only time I play vidya is when I want to chill and have some bants with my online friends.

I guess video games really are for children.

Inaccurate. He isn't French/Spanish/Dutch. Wish Mel got some sort of historical adviser.
>also, "muh revolution"
>acting like it was hard with support from almost every empire in Europe and with a larger population than Britain itself

Local co-op is no longer a thing

post yfw that's what every single one of you thinks

They're playing Halo 2 you cuck. They're probably closer to 30.

>tfw too weird for the normies
>tfw too normal for the autists

Yea how about those 7 TORNADOES that totally wrecked your silly british army after you did that in 1812? The resultant storms not only scattered your army but put out most of the fires you set? Any comments on that?

Also, it's funny how you take credit for the Revolution, when your ancestors probably came to America long after in the 20th Century as impoverished potatoniggers. I like seeing the Mexicans and niggers celebrating the 4th of July.
>WE WUZ

I didn't realise James Madison's war cabinet had the ability to control storms.
>taking credit for natural disasters
Why are Americans so dumb?

They got rid of split screen.
Everyone just plays online now.
Can't explain why lan parties died out, you've got to remember that to those of us who are around 30 or older, we remember a time that pre dates the internet, the younger generations do not, probably made people develop with less social skills.
Next time you drive through some random town or suburb, notice how few kids you see playing outside compared to when you were a kid, it's sad.

My friend and I still play Doom and Serious Sam over the LAN, but it's pretty difficult to transfer PCs and shit.

>The Beta Virgin Factory operating at full capacity

Go home Reddit

I try but non whites are all anti socials, very few whites near me.

And yeah, we also have LAN parties where fat losers compete at CS:GO, LoL and other stupid shit.
Difference is that there is no social development whatsoever.

Non whites just do sports and other physical activities.

Dude, we use to transfer pcs with crt monitors! It's not that big of a deal. People just have no motivation anymore.

the fuck you talking about summerfag. I played online games for years on a 56k modem (quake 3 unreal tournament ect) and managed to get by just fine.... 11mbps with 25ms ping is pure sex compared to that.

grow up less time, job, family, bills rip me that about sum it up annons?

>mobashit
I keep trying to redpill people out of those shitty cancer games, it's hard work

nigga I carry my 35lb dualcpu workstation to nearly every LAN I go to
it's a big pain but it's worth it if I'm there 2 days

.... but in the real world they just sit around all day getting drunk, doing drugs and raping white women people

They don't?

Game devs gutted local multiplayer so they can charge you extra for xbox live/psn+ to do play in a way that used to be free.

Tldr: jews

>mad enough to post twice about a goof

Some of them do, but online gaming options and the reduction of console controller slots is helping kill it.

its easier to do it online.

humans follow the rules of electricity, for the most part, they follow the path of least resistance.

Would lazy ass kids rather:

A: start a group chat, or message everyone individually, see if they can come over, have them convince their parents to drive them to a central location, and pick them up at a given time and spend time together

B. Send a message to friends, walk to their computer, play a game and talk to them on skype / discord / teamspeak / ventrilo / mumble

its not rocket appliances

We've got cute faceApp girls to look at now.

Fighting games are terrible online by nature of the genre, people who play those desperately look for people near them to play offline. its one of the reasons why they have such close-knit communities

>mad enough to waste time looking for webms of b movies of the American War of Independence
