So, you were saying people in the IM would only discuss gaming?
I've been in there for 40 minutes and gaming only just got brought up because we were discussing how Pokemon mated.

When no one's on the IM, I usually spam the hell out of it.
It's a lot of fun.

Talking about hoe Pokemon mated? Dude, that's more goofy than talking about games themselves!

I wish I hadn't missed that one. Everyone needs more HSOWA.

It stemmed from a discussion on hentai. But of course, that's a normal topic, unlike gaming.

How can I even argue against that? I can't debate against any of your points but in general, and I don't know why, gaming enthusiasts are a more goofy bunch of people than the norm. I don't know why it is, there is no theory or logic behind it, they just are. I think all this hate for game extremists roots back to my highschool years (a year or two ago), I swear, I was in the top class....surrounded by a bunch of videogame fanatics. I had to sit beside them in class where they made stupid noises and talked about PS vs Xbox all day, Lord, they even based their IT coursework on videogames at times. This is where I really thought, 'Get a life you dweebs'. Also, talking about games in front of girls = you're not getting with them. So yea, too many videogames are bad, and I don't like videogame addicts or people who just talk about them all day long (I bet, or I know there is a select few in this site). I'm clearly not tarring everybody on this site as a geek because obviously I'm on this site right now, and I like it (mainly the sales side). I'm just saying, I find videgames get discussed too much on places like this and that some people take them too far and seriously, arguing over consoles for example, I don't understand why people do this. Do people argue over McDonalds and Burger King constantly, or U2 and Kasabian? No. So, in second conclusion, I get tarred with enough game talk to go in the IM and get tarred by more. I like games and I play them maybe half an hour a day on average (or if there's a new release then like 5 hours on a Sunday,lol), but I still think there are too many obsessed people. Enjoy games people, they are fun and relaxing and good for playing with friends, but make sure to balance them with other things lol, don't become like the people in my highschool class! |
Dude, there's nerdy behaviour about films, music and all of those things. People DO argue about bands, whether they've sold out; Some people cry when bands split up. Like anything, it's all about moderation. The IM is just another way of chatting to people on this site ithout nhaving to add loads of MSN names. It's all good though and you have put some of your points across well in this thread. Shame about the other thread where we had interactions.
Yes.

Guys you need to get on the im Nao !
While your drinkijn berrs waming up for whatever chillin !
I have a few suggestions to help IM become more popular
1: Make it free. Yes its cheap now but its still a hurdle.
2: Make everyone join the lobby by default so people are instantly in a room where they can talk to people.
Also if its too expensive to make it free just put an ad on the page to help subsidise it if possible or something.
I still go on from time to time and its depressing as most of the time theres only 2 other people on at the most.
EDIT A redesign so it looks like VGC 2.0 wouldn't be amiss either. Consistency is always a good thing.
