Anyone here play video games?

@DeeDee85 - does that ever bring back memories!! I don’t know if my dad would do it on purpose or not, but some of his movie selections were semi-what questionable for a teenager where the occasional glimpse of skin and nudity caused the imagination to go wild.

My mom was never impressed and couldn’t fast forward or stop the tape fast enough…

It would be tame compared to what most kids have access to on a daily basis in today’s world.

@goosehd can definitely relate to that, my big bro rented Under Siege constantly for the cake scene

@DeeDee85 oh absolutely, I remember going to my Nan and Grandads every Friday as a kid and we would either go to the shop and get a VHS or DVD and get some sweets, my grandad got me my first Star Wars VHS (A new hope special edition) which then created the love for Star Wars and being a nerd haha.

But I completely agree there is a excitement of that which has gone, even for gaming, I remember going to Game or Asda to get the midnight launch of say COD or GTA, Halo or something, then going back to a mates staying over but playing the campaign or multiplayer together.

@JoshC Agreed… I have fond memories of multiplayer gaming too before the shift to online. Four player split screen on Goldeneye for the N64 at 2am, crammed into a tiny bedroom and trying to be quiet cos parents are asleep in the bedroom next door… no one’s allowed to be Odd Job cos he was too small and harder to shoot lost many many hours to Worms too. Sad really that 99% of our kids multiplayer gaming will be through a headset.

@DeeDee85 ahh mate, having 6 of you in your friends mums living room having a lan party doing 2 v 2 games or all v all, winner stays on etc such fun memories apart from having to carry your playstation or xbox in your backpack haha.

It is a shame, but it was a god send during the pandemic for me, as I lived in a small studio in London on my own, that was the way I could really stay connected to people and still do now with friends in Scotland, so it is a blessing and curse.
