Not addicted but I find them a valuable stress reliever - especially the multiplayer varierty. Michael Life’s not a song. Life isn’t bliss. Life is just this. It’s living. -- Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once more, with feeling

Ollie wrote: Are all programmers addicted to first person shoot'em ups? I would not say addicted but most techy people I know like to load up a FPS and have a good death match or two. We load up every lunch time to get rid of stress. RTS is also popular, though a bit long for lunch times :)

It's a techie thing... but also a newer techie thing. Those of use that are just about to hit 30 (I'm 29) and probably a couple years older and probably almost all younger probably like them. However, as you get older I imagine they begin to lose their luster. For one thing the reflexes get a little tired and you get tired of getting whipped by some 11 year old. For another thing you come to the realization (much faster) that it's just the same thing over and over again with a shinier and shiner package. Wolf3D was awesome. Doom was better. Quake was even better. Quake 2 was incredible. Quake 3 was... cool. Unreal Tournament was neat. Unreal Tournament 2003 was... well it was pretty ok. I'm looking forward to the new Doom like I looked forward to Soldier of Fortune 2 and RTCW. However, if you want honesty, lately my greatest gaming joy currently comes from Tetrinet2 and running a SNES Emulator and playing the old PunchOut.

I don't know if it's an age thing - my Dad (not a programmer, but is computer literate) is approaching 50, and really enjoys playing FPS games -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Movies, music, fashion, cars, operating systems, development frameworks, dev tools, shoes, food, eletrical tin openers and compact disc players. Life though gets better without having to get shinier :)

Played that once but found it a bit boring because you had this big city but you could not go in anywhere. But you actually can do that it seems. ..because i hope you are talking about the game. :) /Magnus
