Is it bad to play games?

Is it bad for a guy who is related with security (like JP) to play PC games? [sorry for my english]

Hell no playing games is what first got me into computers.

i don't quite catch that.

I love to play games.....Some games can exercise your mind.

We all play games. What changes over life is the type of Game.
For a Windows geek that might be Diablo
For a Securtiy Freak it might be hackerslab.org

I found a post of JP on a cool game (I like it very much). [Maybe a mistake from me, there isn't only one JP, don't flame (the usual :-))]

Not unless you are playing nethack

Whats nethack?

Games will rot your mind. Just take me as an exmple. :thumbsup:

Hell no, it isn't bad. Games got me playing with computers in the first place. I remember trying to hack the resource file in Dune 2 to make the entire planet filled with spice and making it to where I could make 999 units in the first level. Not to mention all the fun I had with Zork. Now I'm obsessed with Black&White.

linuxcommando> go to www.nethack.org ;)

I'm not ashamed to say I still do. Diablo got boring, Quake got old. Beachhead 2002 is ok.

Hehe, the only game I play anymore (cuz Q3A got old after a while, SIMS cost too much with all the add-ons, and B&W, well, I still play it) is Graal. Man, that game is so addictive. It's just a little online RPG thing, but once you get on there and try to get a lot of hearts and things, then you start to spar with people a lot and gain points and become j337 and have tons of money, you get supa-addicted...check it out... www.graalonline.com

Graal annoys the crap out of me. Looks too much like Zelda. (I hated that game too)

But, otherwise, it's okay.

Korp> You just don't like Zelda cause his sword is better then your avatars pitchfork ;)

Games are always good but in moderation. It's always good to read a good book and kill people in a video game. My personal favourite is infantry nice and simple if ya wanna check it out go to www.sony.com

Games are what the great God of computers gave to reward all hes good IT minions...

jcmcb> no wonder I don't get to play games much any more :(

I don't actual play much RPG games (well, except for "Angband"), but a game I really love at the moment is GTA3 for the PS2. God, that game is so cool!

Games are good... just as long as you don't spend the entire weekend on something like EverCrack.... errr... EverQuest.
