Any gamers?

Curious how many of you are into gaming.  I've been playing Counterstrike for 5 years, and the COD Modern Warfare titles (orig and MW2) on a PC.  Me and 6 other 40-something pals are online 2-5 nights a week, though I haven't been gaming like I used to lately.  Hell, I'm still on my first run through the levels of MW2.  

I use a Logitech G35 headset, Fang Gamepad, Reaper gaming mouse, and Rocketfish mouse pad (surprisingly helpful).  Here's my gaming set up (the only thing not pictured is the beer):

i play modern warfare 2 all the time... on xbox 360 though

Yeah, most of my students use consoles, so I'm never able to play against them online.  Perhaps just as well.  It looks like you, too, escape exposure to my subpar skillz.

I only play Civilization online on xbox. I don't like playing other games because I just get called various epithets for a gay black person everytime I win.

I'm a bit shocked we haven't had a video game thread yet. Any Bioshock fans out there?

Nice!

I picked up a Razer mouse a couple of months ago and love it. However I don't think I'll ever trade-in my Logitech G510 anytime soon.

I dabble, Play mw3,  COD ( all of them ).  I usaully only do campaign mode and then my daughter gets on multiplayer and goes Zombie hunting.  I've tried to play multiplayer but I have a bad habit of getting smoked by smart ass 10 year olds.  I swear to god I'm gonna call there parents and tell them to put the little fuckers to bed earlier.

Too funny!   

We play Counterstrike: Global Offensive against bots or sometimes online, but it is humilating getting destroyed by punk ass kids.  I actually played a solid 4 hours of CS: Source this weekend, a LAN party with 3 others.  None of us were much good on laptops, but it was fun being locked in with a snowstorm and many beers. 

Considering my last gaming mouse, an Ideazon Reaper1600 dpi, would only register every other click of the primary mouse button, my kill stats were shit.  Hoping to see vast improvements now that every mouse click will actually mean a shot. 

I have no idea how to set up the weights.  I've set it up a bit bottom heavy and have it on the  CONTROL side of a Rocketfish gaming mouse pad.  I swear this mouse pad is the best part of my gaming setup!

I'm the sponsor of the game club at my school. One afternoon a week, kids bring their handhelds, consoles, card games, board games, whatever they want to my room and play games for an hour. It's usually kids that aren't super social, but they love to play games. This gives them a place to belong and to hang out with like-minded kids. It changes over the years who shows up and what type of games they play, but it amazes me what they are willing to lug to my classroom from home. They're my type of people. Back when I taught Sunday School (don't ask, it was a disaster letting the athiest teach Sunday School), my class and I would go to a restaurant with wifi and play MarioKart or Animal Crossing for a couple of hours after church. I enjoyed that more than actually teaching the Sunday School class for obvious reasons.

does this count?

does this count?

Yes, because it is the best game. 

Also if any of you play Minecraft for whatever reason, I run a server, if you are interested.

What do you race?

I used to be totally into iRacing but haven't had the time lately...

I used to race NR2003 a ton but that died off when I moved to my shitty aptartment. Recently the itch came back and I just started iRacing 2 weeks ago. Got promoted to D and am trying to find the time to build up to a C license before the next promotion date. That ear-x-tacy truck is niiiice. I don't feel like I'm good enough to put 'sponsors' on my cars yet. I am also playing on an oldish laptop with the graphics turned down a bit and with a terrible wheel/pedals set up. I'll be moving into my own place soon and then I'll get really serious.
