Thought this might be an interesting topic of discussion.... Do you:
1. curse yourself when playing?
2. ask others NOT to curse in your arcade?
3. curb your cursing when children are present?
I was getting mad yesterday when playing Robotron, and one of my kids was standing right next to me watching, so I really had to bite my tongue. I usually have no problem throwing colorful metaphors out when I get mad so, it was a bit of an effort if something went south during gameplay and all I could say was 'crap', 'darnit', or 'geez'...
I remember being in arcades where I got to hear all kinds of words and phrases that I'd NEVER heard before, so maybe that had an impact! Even in the movie TRON, you hear the guy playing the arcade game at the very beginning say DAMM!!!! I'd love to have heard the discussion that took place in the Disney studio regarding that script line!
Are all of us who play arcade games simply doomed to walk the Earth the rest of our days cursing?
