Video Games Anyone?, Xbox? PS3? Wii? Name your poison! Options

[Todd Simpson]

Gaming is something that needs to be done in moderation of course, as it can take away practice time! But after nailing that impossible solo, you deserve a break! What's your pleasure? Platformer? PC? Thought I'd start a tread in my forum on Games that I"m playing/played/wanted to share/learn about/ask you guys about etc. A bit of gaming is good for the soul!

THIS POSTS BIG QUESTION:

About a year ago I really stopped playing video games just because, as Gabriel said, it was replaced with guitar. I would love to if I still had the time, but in my position, I'd rather be gaining a skill that I could potentially make a career out of then playing cod 5 hours a day

This is where balance comes in. I'd certainly hope no GMC student would spend 5 hours a day playing video games. I sometimes play a game with pals on xbox live for a quick bit on weekends which is where games are best kept IMHO. As a fun distraction. For many students, especially those in the first 3 or 4 years of learning, video games can easily take over practice time and turn in to bad thing. Eve for those with extensive musical practice/training, they remain a possible time suck.

So again, it's all about balance. You can play a game to relax, blow off steam, etc. Just don't let it eat in to your practice time!

Also, I'm a fan of old classics like Tekken 3, Diablo 2, Metal Gear Solid, Syphon Filter, Castlevania, Mega Man, Quake 2, Colin McRae 2, GranTurismo 2, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series... I even wrote walkthroughs on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 and a Yoshimitsu manual for Tek ken 3, I think they're still online somewhere on GameFAQs

Wow! An actual gamer! I was a HUGE fan of the Tekken series as well back in the day. And also quake and even Unreal. I used to game more in the ps2 days. Some really great games from then Now it's more about xbox live and playing with friends a bit here and there on weekends.
