CNN shows us the new ‘craze’ in computers.

[Never]

Group gaming. Yes, this hot new thing is when people get together and play games. It’s been popular in Korea for years and now it’s making its way to the US.

Wow. What will they think of next?

I mean, holy crap. I know keeping up with technology is difficult but when CNN doesn’t realize people have been group gaming for over ten years – wow, that’s sad.

Next week they plan on letting us know about alittle piece of technology.
Its similar to our home phones, but yet we can carry them around with us.
"It's been popular in Japan for some time, but now cellphones make their way to the US".

i guess you could even say longer then 10 years i mean is it a strech of the imagination to include board games

my sister and i linked up two computers for the first time to play doom i guess that was quite a few years ago

 

[Never]

DOOM!

Don't forget Quake and Diablo. Also quite popular, though not as old. When did Starcraft come out?

 

[Coolville]

I don't watch CNN.
What's a computer?

 

[phatcat]

ah, those were the days

modem to modem d00m... such fond memories. Thank you CNN for reminding me. CNN, the Cold News Network.

Actually, if you want a laugh, check out their online Tech columns - they are always good for a laugh. If you're unfamiliar with the current trends, pick up a copy of Wired and compare - night and day.

i dont know but i got a free copy of starcraft given to me because a friend did some design work on the manual but he had a mac so i got given the game

lan gaming is done less nowadays i guess though because of faster modems
