Why am i so rubbish?

How is it that I spend approximately 80% of my day gaming yet when it comes to any other kind of technology I'm useless? Does anyone else feel like this?

Hmm...
Possibly the wrong place to ask that question I suppose...

Re: Why am i so rubbish?

What games do you play and what ones do you feel you are good at?

When I try on-line games (been a while now) I am rubbish. I get shot/killed within about a yoctosecond so I give up. 🙂

Re: Why am i so rubbish?

Hi Alex,
To be fair I try my hand at most genres but I'm a sucker for old school. Things like Diablo ii and Sonic the Hedgehog I've pretty much mastered! I mainly play the consoles from my youth (ps2/xbox 360 etc.) Though I guess that is more to do with being too skint to update than actual preference. I'm playing Dragon Age Inquisition for 360 offline atm. I just got Plusnet Hub one a few days ago and haven't tried it online yet. Too many problems trying to get my TV to work online! 🙄

A thought...
Is an Xbox 360 now considered "RETRO"?
I mean... 'Skyrim' - for goodness sake!!!

A 360 is considered ancient Wink Though the 360 probably has all the catch up apps etc. You wanted from your TV?

I’m enjoying my PS5 Smiley

Re: Why am i so rubbish?

Yep,

I sold my PS4 to a friend, and to be honest I never used it. I just find people take gaming it so seriously and (what's left of) my brain struggles to handle it. I remember helping running a guild back in the day, but Oh Well as Fleetwood Mac said, it taught me a bit around DNS, PHP and hosting my own forums.

Oh and then having to step in when two people fell out, so yes mods I have been through that as you have. 😑

I've never been that much into gaming, I enjoyed running the sites for my guild more as it taught me more about admin than it did the game.

Sorry back on topic, it is a shame (as for obvious reasons I don't think it need to go into why it has been cancelled), but there is a London games show I would have gone to.

I am tempted, but I will see how things go.

Really enjoying the PS5 - graphics are such a massive step up over the PS4 but the Dualsense 5 controller is what really makes it.

Re: Why am i so rubbish?

Must agree the Ps5 is a big step up, and the fact its backwards compatible makes it all the more enticing. When i first got it i couldnt resist revisting some great ps4 games on it, especially the ines that got patches to bring them up to 60fps!
