How many games do you own?

[jeep]

OK, so I didn't put the whole conversation there so you guys don't know what happened before, but I did get clarification.

I probably own a hundred commercially produced games.

That was NOT what he was asking. He was asking how many "game systems" I own, but he didn't have the terminology nor a real understanding of what a game system is.

So my game systems are:
Playing Cards, Tarot Cards, Icehouse pyramids, Dominoes, Go board/stones, several home-made systems and probably more commercial ones, I'll have to think and look.

It was a good question, now that I know what he was asking. His frustration was that he didn't have the terminology he needed to get his point across.

I wish I owned more game systems...

Don't forget about your fist. You can play rock-paper-scissors, rock-paper-scissors-spock-lizard and RPS+

One of my X-Box's is hacked so do all the emulators with 1000's of games count as systems????

[jeep]

Video games was clearly excluded.

As to including my fist, I don't. A gaming system is nicely defined in Ron Hale-Evan's game journal articles as: A set of components that function together in multiple games.

Your fist is not a gaming system. It can be used to play many games, but it's not a set of components... Granted, if you believe Ron Hale-Evans your fist is a component in a gaming system. He used: sticks, dirt, stones, body parts, voice as a gaming system. That one, I do own.

I'm still waffling on my Shogi pieces/boards...

For my new PS4, I only have like three games but I might want to get a fourth.

Not quite sure which one to get, though.

[KuroiXHF]

Nice. How is that deck?

[shaft.ed]

I just dont have anyone to play it with. I will probably force it on coworkers the next time I host happy hour

[ConManMick]

This thread is older than most of my cosins

[KuroiXHF]

I don't believe you.
Now are you going to talk about your video games or not?

[ConManMick]

Listen here, pnk
I own lots of games. I recently fond my old Gameboy SP and it still kicks ass, still has a chocolate bar wrapper in the cartridge slot bt does it give a shit? Not at all. Works like new!
I have all of the games from which my Avi is taken (I'm not writing it incorrectly), bt I've only played three of them so far. The originals are waaaay different and tbh I'm mostly gonna play for lore cos I don't particlarly enjoy the mechanics.
I need to dig ot my 360 and bring that to college maybe

HOWSAT FOR BLIBEO BLAMES TALK

I think you're trying to overcompensate for the necro.

[ConManMick]

Hey yo are the one who necro'd I ent done noffink

[Psyche]

gosh 2005 was different

[shaft.ed]

I wish I could have been around
The pedantry was amazing
and so normalized

[kuribo]

I own like 1000 games on steam, maybe a dozen PS2 games, 130 NES games, 5 SNES games, two Genesis games, and about 10 - 15,000 various emulated games.


I've accepted the fact that I will die an old man before I ever play all of them.

[ConManMick]

I am in awe
