user you can't say

When I was fifteen I used to put a racing game in my brother's old XBox that he gave me, tape down the accelerator and the stick to one side, select a circular track

I had the rumble on and the car just went around the track, scraping endlessly on the side rails for however long, continuously rumbling, and I used it as a vibrator

Fun times

>trying out the BF3 beta with friends

>"was that you?"
>"yep"
>have remembered that moment ever since
bf3, the beta included, had some really shitty stuff to it, but damn if it wasn't fun

>going back to church after that

Why? You obviously aren't that religious.

Jesus Christ...

Family was very religious. Couldn't escape that weekly trek to church while I lived at home. Regardless, I felt really bad about the projector. I probably would have confessed to someone anyway. Part of me was glad to just be caught and deal with the consequences.

>Be me like 12

>game ends 96-24
>mfw I really had no idea what I was doing
>he never played the game again after that

See I can kind of relate, but
>high school
I stopped letting my parents drag me to church well before high school.

I was actually that guy when it came to racing and sports game (aka the only things my friends played).

When everyone got older, I got them into Civ and X-Com which I've been playing since forever, but who the fuck plays Civ and X-Com multiplaye anyway.

...

This. I remember sharing some cool games with people and vise versa. Being a kid had its own kind of charm to finding a cool game

I get that, but the two hours out of my week every Sunday was easier to deal with than the fight that would have ensued.

Long after I had moved away, my younger sister tried just not going anymore and they kicked her out entirely. She ended up finishing up senior year living with my older sister. Needless to say none of us have great relationships with our parents.

>it's edgy to not be a cuck who lets their parents decide everything that they do

There's a difference between fedora tipping atheist redditors and non-religious people.

I've stopped going to church at what, 11, I don't even remember, it only gets up when mom tries to drive me into some catholic guilt trip but it really doesn't work.

But you gotta understand not every family is like mine or yours, no point in being condenscending to the guy

>english class in 7th grade
>teacher asks us to all write a short story which is to be read aloud to the class the next day
>that one kid that wrote a really awkward story about Solid Snake and Sephiroth having a sword duel

So what, you would let your parents keep dragging you along to Sunday service even if you didn't believe? Have you ever gone to mass? I don't think you understand just how boring it is to a non-devotee.

Jesus christ.
>American Christianity

>shota edition
>facepalm internally
>WUTANG!
>o shi yes fucking finally a-
> ( ._.)
>.....b[_]d
Trying way too hard. Kys

>not listening to your parents
Yes, the first sign of human excellence.

>bought a new csgo account to smurf with for easy games
>into silver matches
>they are worse than bots
>someone on other team says hey guys wanna just knife long?
>feel bad about how bad they are

I continued to rape them until i ranked up heaps because i remembered 90% of the community thinks they're better than everyone else and talks shit to everyone. But i felt bad for the innocent noobs.

Reminds me of when I used to play CSS when I was younger, maybe like 12 or 13.

>join a gungame server
>mostly empty since it was late
>one guy there who sounded in his late 20's
>knifes everyone
>grab my shitty mic and pretend like I'm older by trying to lower my voice
>sounds fucking stupid
>challenge the guy to a knife fight
>shittalk him when I inevitably lose

Still can't win most knife fights.

>back when wii first came out
>only had wii sports played it everyday after school
>new console and controller feel like greatest thing ever as kid
>get other games and forget about sports
>years go by have stopped playing vidya
>cleaning up apartment when i find wii
>setup it up cause why not bored on weekend and nostalgia reasons
>game inside is wii sports
>play for 30 mins or so realize how shitty it is
>stop playing but get idea
>have used many objects as dildos
>wii mote looks like perfect size
>you see where im going with this
>go to bedroom get wiimote deep in there
>hear sound from other room
>pic related

How do you get your mindset to segway from cleaning your apartment to shoving a Wii remote up your ass?

How do you not?

I can barely tell what happened in any of these three stories due to your shit writing.

>>be me
Who the fuck else would you be?

>b[_]d
What did he mean by this?

I'm guessing the last two lines are some stupid emoticon of a guy holding a gameboy while staring at it.

Oh.
I thought he was trying to censor a swear or some shit, I just had no idea what it could've been.

Fag.

>segway

The word you're looking for is "segue."

>never had video games as a kid
>wanted them super bad, loved going to friends houses and playing
>always feeling guilty about it when friends would want to play outside but I just wanted to play their video games
>they would give me their old game informer or Nintendo power and shit like that
>I would read every page and know everything up upcoming and new games that I would never play
>one day in 6th grade I overhear some of my friends talking about how I don't even play games I just look at pictures and how pathetic that is

I'm not sure if my parent's never buying me any video games or even any sort of fad trend item made me a better person, but I sure fucking hope so, because being the kid with thrift store two year old fashion, no video games, no fruit rollup in my lunch box, no TV, and no sugar or soda or whatever fucking sucked. I mean it could be worse I could be a starving refugee getting molested by hairy fat men, but still it sucked.

>drop to the ground and crawl to my friend's lunch table
>"what are you doing?" asks the campus monitor
>"i'm solid snake"

OP again, just remembered this one.

>went to a private school for several years of my life
>we had this fake cash system to buy snacks and shit
>school had a marketplace where we could sell used shit or make food or something to get more fake cash
>wanted some easy money
>recently got into using the old GameMaker 6-7 or something
>went and made a preorder list for a compilation of games
>got lots of signups
>bought all kinds of shit with my new money
>nearing the end of the school year
>people asking about games
>tell them they're almost done
>school ends and I end up moving to another town
>no games were ever made

>mfw I look back now and see what preorders can do nowadays

I told this story before but I'm in the mood to tell it again.

>be a young kid
>parents buy me vidya when I do good at school
>be a pretty good student, so get good grades
>own a lot of games for PS2
>have few friends so was hoping for a good time
>make a new friend, black kid
>he comes over to play some vidya
>play Dynasty Warriors and Yugioh Duelist Of The Roses
>have fun
>evening comes
>he has to go
>notice a box shape in his jacket
>ask him to open up
>see he had Yugioh DoR on him
>laugh it off and take it back
>wave him good-bye
>was such a naive kid that I thought he was gonna play a prank on me by hiding it and returning it later
>he stopped talking to me after that even though I approached him a few times
>after a few months, realize over time he pretended to be my friend so he can steal vidya from me
>get depressed because it's the first time I've experienced actual shittiness from someone my age that I trusted
>he could have just asked and I would have happily let him borrow it since I wasn't playing that much anyway


Shit sucks.

Well crap that made me laugh
