1armbandit replied to the topic Re:How gaming has impacted you socially in the forums.
Competition is part of human being human. I enjoy beating anyone but don't rub it in their face. I like beating good players the most. I just enjoy good games where I know I did good. I lost my hand at 19 so I did play as able-bodied person before that. It does level playing field some but I know I could play much better with two hands. I think most gamers don't like to lose to me. I think it lowers their self esteem some but that's not going stop me from playing. Some of my friend are amazed by what I can do but still don't think they wanna lose to me. On-line I use names that give away that I only have one hand. I guess I like them to know I have handicap but I also feel I shouldn't need to hide from who I am. Do it more so since I join this site. I just want to make people more aware that we are out there. It helps my self esteem for the most part unless I start thinking about what I could do with two hands. It better to just deal with what you got, rather then focusing on what you don't.

Short version, yeah it helps my self esteem.
Most people I know don't like games as much as me so doesn't help relationships. I'm not that social either or I could build army of friends on-line if I wanted. If I was more social thing I think is most neat is all different places and types of people you can meet on-line and in games.

I beat you at bantering more renderB. I win. Just joking but sorry for my grammar and hope something in there is useful. You got me thinking about how my game names might effect people but should I care? I think about stuff to much but if you get me more detail questions. I will be more then willing to share what I think. Been venting in my bad writing lately.

I don't think the standard playstation 3 is very accessible and most of games are not for young kids. Maybe some sports games. Little Big Planet is one of the best picks but parts of it I would say can be kinda tricky. Like Ioo said your better off going to the computer for many more options from games to ways to control them.

1armbandit replied to the topic Re:Guild question for MMOs (specifically warcraft) in the forums.
I notice people are getting more rude and all these people that are so focus on being Pro/Perfect. Well in WoW I notice people want you to play as much as they do and even if you miss one night they get pissed off. Why I stop playing WoW,. It's just good to wait to know the people bit better so you can try to judge how they will react but in the end only fate knows. If you talk with them for while you become a friend that they will/should be less likely to say something rude. Depends on the person still. People can't seem to understand I play video games for fun. I like the fact that if I put in enough time I will see rewards which isn't always true in real life. I enjoy game-play more then social part and people hate me for that. I would say take a break from the game if you can find something to fill its place. I notice I get to point where I'm just feed up and break helps some but in the end the problems are still there. Also try understand that lot people who game don't get much sleep or other factors that make them bit more on edge. That's my thought for whatever its worth.
