    That might be due to the negative slant of the survey, ie gaming causing problems in one's life. My guess is gamers get a lot of that attitude already and may therefore feel resistance. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Well put. I think there was an attempted...

    Question When did you start and what that?

    How bout PONG. Yes, the very first arcade video game, long before home PCs. I've definitely graduated to much more, including the recent build of my deathmatch Quake 1 map, viewable and downloadable on youtube.

The maximum number of players would be 14. (I would need 2 slots.) I could set up the dedicated server, and all you guys...
