So…hugs are out?
Count me in. I am in my forties and have never played a console game except when babysitting with a kid who wants to do so; I honestly don’t see the appeal. But that doesn’t make men who play them any less manly in my eyes. The fact that I like chess and boxing doesn’t make me any smarter or tougher than people who like World of Warcraft and baseball.
I meant as combat troops. Sorry I wasn’t more obvious.
Depends on how hard you squeeze.
Skald, it’s interesting that you specify “console game”. Do you play any video games on a computer (desktop / laptop / tablet) or smartphone? (Or, for that matter, ye olde arcade standup machines?) It doesn’t matter either way, of course, it’s just that I’ve met people who say they don’t play “video games” but do play the occasional game of Tetris on their phone or Farmville on FaceBook.
Nope. (Cite.)
I specified console game because I occasionally play Spider Solitaire on my home desktop. (I have it disabled on my personal laptop.) But things like World of Warcraft? I simply don’t understand the appeal.
I don’t have a smartphone and refuse to get one. And I’ve never played any of the Facebook games.
Do arcade games even exist any more?
Oooh, please do tell us more about your manly-man lifestyle, scamartistry. Just take us through a typical day for you, from the point that you go out and slay your own breakfast in the wilderness to laying down at night with your harem of concubines. We’d love to hear all the details…
Not only that, but the “correct” keystroke is apparently for the grammatically incorrect “No-No’s”, which shouldn’t have an apostrophe (and shouldn’t have the second N capitalized when one doesn’t capitalize the other words in the title). So the OP failed at typing the incorrect spelling of an unmanly word in the course of expressing a childish sentiment.
Sucks to be him because then he’d miss the invite to Clint Eastwood’s awesome party that all the other wild westers are going to.
John Wayne at 35 was busy not enlisting for WW2 because it might slow down his film career.
Otara
Next your going to tell me he wasn’t a real cowboy.
So that’s what makes an adult man. Treating fictional characters as if they were real and wanting to be a cowboy.
Are you just pissed because some 20 something males won’t get off your lawn?
Or that his real name was Marion.
Dick Cavett’s recent memoir tells about his interviewing Wayne. Cavett expected him to talk about war and cowboy adventures. But the Duke expounded at length on British drama, in particular, the plays of Noel Coward. Cavett was dumbfounded: he asked Woody Allen what to make of the incident. Allen replied, “He’s an actor, not a cowboy”.
This is like a comically incorrect thing I would say to humorously imitate old grumpy people. Next you’ll be grousing about the Tweetybooks and the Faceyspaces.
Every married adult about my age (35) that I know has at least one console gaming system at home.
wear toe-socks.
Never pee sitting down. Just to be safe, never shit sitting down, either.
No way would John Wayne be playing a Playstation. He’d have himself an American console like a 360. 
Damn right. And he’d be headshotting pussy 12 year olds on Call of Duty between takes.
“Pussyfications” like using the term “No-no”? I bet John Wayne never called something a “No-no”.
I’m not that guy who’s not the other guy, but I’m 32, and I don’t play video games, either.
I mean, years ago, I played a round or two of nethack when I needed to kill time at work without looking like I was obviously screwing off, but I haven’t had a console system since I bought an NES with lawn mowing money when I was, like, 10. The appeal wore off in about a year. It probably helped that a) I suck at it (never beat Super Mario Bros., and proud of it) and b) my parents strictly limited Nintendo time to like a half hour per day after my homework was done.
If I’m killing time, I’d much rather read something, or write something, or cook something, or screw around on the guitar. When I was single, hitting the bars and trying to pick up women ate up a lot of time, too.
Hell, if it weren’t for my various SO’s, I’d probably never watch TV except for the occasional ball game or newscast.
