What if you can't do those things in real life? Say it's raining, or winter, so you can't golf? Say, you have a broken ankle, or just no sense of balance, so you can't skateboard?

It's the same reason people play Tony Hawk. Because it allows you to do things that are beyond what you normally could. Sure, you could go outside and attempt the same things. Some people would be able to do them. But you will most likely break your next.

It's also the reason people play the Links series. I can golf, but I'm not great at it. But I've never played at St Andrews, and likely never will. In that respect, Links is beyond what I could do in real life.

If I could walk out my door, and suddenly be able to play golf, on a sunny day, at St Andrew's, then no, I would have no need for golf games.

And somehow, just because the control scheme is different, and closer to the real activity instead of an exercise in the timing of button-presses, it's no longer worth it?

I think not.

Funny stuff. A couple questions, though.

1) N-Gage: They're still hyping that thing? I mean, the second version is a pretty good phone, but come on.

2) What game/system/website are the mechanics there for?

And by the way, those full-body Snoopy suits tend to have fans/ventilation, so they're probably not as warm as you'd think. Hopefully.

"I'm sure you like to watch porn too along with your son"

Ooh, that's very dangerous father of you. I don't want to been like Michael Jackson. I'm really happy with my wife. So no thanks

I think that should have been rephrased "I'm sure you like to watch porn, just as your son does"

In other words, most men do enjoy porn occasionally (more for some, of course), so if you do, telling your child that porn is somehow "wrong" can seem quite hypocritical.

Assuming, of course, you are among the majority of men who do watch porn. If not, then there is no issue.
