Ahh the problem is, you call anybody's entertainment an entertainment to you.Originally posted by AMD2004:I think u r beyond help. U r linking arcade games with drugs...?? who is mad now? Is arcade illegal? But drug is. Ehh..i told u, i dun play arcade games, but is ppl's entertainment. Smoking, is that entertainment?? I dun categorized that as entertainment....and even my PROF dun see smoking as an entertainment. Do u know the meaning of entertainment. Go and ask ppl why they smoke, i bet in 1 million ppl, no one will say is entertainment. Golfers spend more than thousands, are they mad? Formula 1, millions...and life risking, are they mad? Go and tell Schumacher that he is mad. WCG spend thousands too, and err hm....are they mad?
I dun understand....is ppl's entertainment dude. Ppl can spend thousands too on home surround system to watch a better movie. Must entertainment be that healthy related, entertainment includes sports dude, but sports do not cover entertainment. Watch alot of movie healthy for ur eye? Go clubbing healthy for ur ear? I conclude, entertainment is not SPORTS. watt is ur entertainment..tell me then. Hmm, at least i know one of ur entertainment. Going to SGforum and talk crap. Ehh..waste money lah. Waste electricity. Go sleep go. Not HEALTHY to look at monitor screen, not good for ur eye lah.
I think u have serious problem.![]()

Oxford on entertaiment : a thing that will provide u with something interesting and enjoyable.Originally posted by wilderside:Ahh the problem is, you call anybody's entertainment an entertainment to you.So drugs to one can be just merely an entertainment to you.
You see your own statement? Don't look at others, look at your statements first.

That u r truly wrong my fren. Hours can generate money!!. Hence, time is also money. As i mentioned, ppl willing to pay 1000's to watch F1 race...so are they stupid? Ppl who watch concert also not cheap. U ahh..problem siaOriginally posted by wilderside:Btw, truly, one who spends thousands on an arcade game really has a grave problem.
LAN gamers? They still have sense as they don't spend crazy money, and nobody will call them crazy apart from the hours.
Ahhh. I see you have a problem understanding. Anything can be entertainment, drugs, smoking, gaming. The first two are not healthy entertainment, the third is. But gaming after spending thousands and all you get is merely the experience and a couple of cards, is not.Originally posted by AMD2004:Oxford on entertaiment : a thing that will provide u with something interesting and enjoyable.
so, is playing arcade a entertaiment by this definition, YES! No, the problem is, u dun wan to categorize arcade games as a form of entertainment. Judging from ur previous statements, u link entertainment with something " healthy" which i prove u WRONG, for entertainment does not only include sports! So, tell me, WHY dun u tell me, what is ur entertainment then. No entertainment in ur entire life?? nvr watch movie b4? nvr play snooker b4?![]()
wtf...just don anyhow assume we spend thousands....NPNT...Originally posted by wilderside:Ahhh. I see you have a problem understanding. Anything can be entertainment, drugs, smoking, gaming.

It is an entertainment, but not healthy to see the wastage. You can spend thousands on a nice shirt, that is pure madness, the next lower level of madness will just be simply spending thousands on an arcade game.
You pay 1000's to watch an F1 race, it is once in a lifetime experience. Next time, you can tell your kids about it. Concert? It's their favourite band, a once in a lifetime opportunity.Originally posted by AMD2004:That u r truly wrong my fren. Hours can generate money!!. Hence, time is also money.

realli???Originally posted by wilderside:It is only you yourself who know how much you spend.Or very likely, it is uncountable.
Once??? wah..ur knowledge very DEEP . Pls man, ppl fly all over the world to catch up with F1 !!! They buy yearly ticket man. A ticket in Msia is about RM 1.2K liao. U say those ppl who love the sports watch once? u must be kidding.Originally posted by wilderside:You pay 1000's to watch an F1 race, it is once in a lifetime experience.

But spending thousands on arcade game, is a habit, not an opportunity. A few hundreds might still be ok, but thousands, who in their right mind will condone that?
You are making this like a playground argument.Originally posted by AMD2004:Once??? wah..ur knowledge very DEEP . Pls man, ppl fly all over the world to catch up with F1 !!!

Pls, go and scold them crazy also. Explain to them that betting is better.
Maybe you can see the difference between 1,999 and 2,000 when actually there is none. You got to think harder.Originally posted by Lance_han:realli???![]()
nv noticed but here\there...got also 1k+ liao la over 3 years...![]()

Reasoned thoughts : F1 fans only watch ONCE in thier lifetime for a formula 1 race - illogical, nonsensicalOriginally posted by wilderside:You are making this like a playground argument.Try to have some reasoned thoughts and no sarcastic comments. Every sentence of yours has a tinge of sarcasm in it. Can you see the flaw in your statements? Maybe you have no logical thing to say.

I feel I have to step in here. While its known that I've for long found all the feuds and sometimes unfriendly rivalry in this game childish and immature, I do think its totally crazy to compare it to drugs and smoking. Drugs, smoking and even alcohol are forms of self harm, wherelse simply playing a game is not. You are not directly harming yourself at the end of the day. And I have too many friends here who're on drugs or smoke too much, to the point that the distinction between an arcade game and taking drugs r very clear. Yes maybe u're right that it is madness. But its no more madness than spending money to watch a movie, at the end of which all u have to show for is a ticket stub. I think if u want any ounce of credibility in your arguments, u have to start thinking of proper logical arguments to make.Originally posted by wilderside:If that's the case, really, drugs and smoking can be classified as entertainment, and healthy ones too, in your context of thinking..
There are two words- sense and madness.
Spending thousands on an arcade game, unfortunately, is just madness any way you look at it, unless it is from deluded view. You don't even get to keep the machine, all you have to show? A magnetic card.
Justifying it by saying 'entertainment' is crazy in itself too.![]()
of course u do realise that most laymen probably can afford to catch F1 a couple of times. and a ticket in malaysia is not 1.2k. u can get many of the malaysian tix for as low as 100RM(official price) so its not as prohibitively expensive as u think. as for the rest, might i remind u that many F1 attendees in the more expensive sections are often quite well off, and those people in the highly priced sectors r often millionaires, so in this context, when thousand of $ r small change to them, its not insane to pay that much to go see an F1 race when u own luxury yachts.Originally posted by AMD2004:Once??? wah..ur knowledge very DEEP .
