Yeah, you probably dislike it because you're bad.
I've only played one match. Didn't do amazing, didn't do bad. Instantly hated it.

So you're saying a game blows after only playing one match?I've only played one match. Didn't to amazing, didn't do bad. Instantly hated it.

How does your opinion mean anything then?
I've never played Fallout, but at the same time would never call it trash without even giving it a chance.
When did you play that one match? How long did it last? No way you could've experienced all the game has to offer in ONE single match. The game has literally evolved so much even over the last couple months, let alone past year.I think one match is a fair chance. More than enough time to form an opinion about a game that is built around the same formula that every game seems to be built on lately. I can play one game of NFL and tell you whether I like it or not as well. It's not that deep of a game. Even though the people that love it seem to think it is.
This is like me watching a period of hockey inattentively and coming to the conclusion that hockey is garbage.
Sorry, but if you've literally played a game ONCE for probably <10-15 minutes, your opinion is irrelevant.
And whether you like it or not, Fortnite is here to stay for the unforeseeable future. It being free on ALL platforms, there now being cross-platform capability across ALL platforms, in addition to weekly updates keeping the game fresh, it having an aspect that differs from any other shooter/BR (building).... saying it will die by next year when it had a record number of players last month -- ~80 million -- is laughable.
lol nice comeback
and no i dont listen to music since I'm deaf...
I have a couple takeaways in reading through the responses here. To be completely clear up front: I don’t think gaming is inherently bad and I definitely think it can be a very social activity.
My thoughts:
1) Having said the above, to those who see no difference between gaming and chess or reading books: I disagree. Screen time – all of that light exposure – absolutely affects your circadian rhythms and sleep. A key element of treating sleep disorders – which are increasingly common – is absolutely staying away from screens/ phones as you approach the time you would sleep. These guys hop between time zones, exert themselves to extremes physically, etc., so sleep is particularly important. Several hours of chess or reading won’t have the same degree of impact. Gaming is different – and this can be an issue even for people who wouldn’t be classified as having a gaming addiction.
2) Games can be a “time suck” in a way that few other activities are. The biggest gaming fans will talk about how much fun it is to get sucked in and how readily they lose time, so I’m not saying that’s necessarily a bad thing. But in terms of how a team wants to conduct itself, how it sees its obligations on the road, having players get lost in any activity to that degree makes it entirely up for question on how to handle it. (Same thing would apply if they got sucked into constant poker games to the exclusion of other activity.) When you add in #1 above, you might have something non-hockey that is too consuming within the team (again, this is before even considering possible addiction).
3) Related to #2, this is a young team trying to forge a post-Sedin identity. Making the effort to do varied activities together while on the road, buy in to team codes of conduct, etc. could be constructive for a group at that stage. We’re talking about a handful of words from a possible future team captain and I’m choosing to take them in that vein. I don’t see it as hating on gaming at all.
4) And this brings me to my final point: a few here that seem bothered by this seem REALLY bothered. It seems out of whack. It’s a professional team trying something out amongst their guys for reasons that are their own. But a few here are taking it as if it’s a personal attack. I remember being on work trips/ training exercises when I was younger where we were asked to refrain from drinking for the duration of the trip. The vast majority of people didn’t care at all or didn’t care much beyond grumbling. A couple people protested, talked about their “freedom”, etc. At later dates, I know that one of these guys was in rehab and another was a very obvious problem drinker who couldn’t keep his act together at work. I’m absolutely not suggesting that everyone who questions this decision from the Canucks has a gaming addiction, because of course that’s NOT the case. But if your shorts are really in a knot on this and you’re bothered because this sounds like feedback you’re getting in real life, maybe that’s worth some reflection.
I now await my Abe Simpson fist-shaking pic.
Thanks for quoting that fantastic post.Just quoting this to make sure it's being read again.
How one can be so personally offended at a decision somebody makes that doesn't affect you in the least is something to behold.
Do you have an opinion about the Tom Wilson suspension? Why do you have an opinion about that? “You” aren’t suspended 20 games. “You” aren’t an NHLer and don’t have those circumstances, so why would you have an opinion about what’s happening?Thanks for quoting that fantastic post.
I really don't care about gaming either way, I'm just trying to understand why some posters are taking a decision that has no effect on them whatsoever so personally.
"You" can still play video games.
Most important of all, Fortnite is terrible and it boggles my mind that with so many alternatives out there people even play it.
I guess i react differently to things i have no control over.Do you have an opinion about the Tom Wilson suspension? Why do you have an opinion about that? “You” aren’t suspended 20 games. “You” aren’t an NHLer and don’t have those circumstances, so why would you have an opinion about what’s happening?
This is posturing, nothing more. You’ve seen examples of other NHLers playing video games and being successful in their careers, you’ve seen NHLers with other kinds of leisure hobbies, drawing a bright line around this specific activity and then suggesting that anyone else having an opinion about it is the real problem reveals the lack of content of the argument.
What position was taken on the Dougie Hamilton story? Was it “why do people have an opinion about something that doesn’t affect them” or was it “these damn millennials and their museums”?
Battle royal PvP. It’s basically replaced Overwatch and PUBG as THE PvP game right now. If PvP isn’t your thing it’s probably not going to hold your interest for long.I'll never understand the appeal of fortnight.
There is real Fallout and there Is TES with guns. The latter can still be pretty good, but it’s not really Fallout. Either way though, they are purely solo games so it’s completely different appeal than a game like Fortnite.I've never played Fallout, but at the same time would never call it trash without even giving it a chance.

Was the speculation that the prospect with the videogame addiction being juolevi ever debunked?
Would make sense as to why the organization is so gungho about it.
Oh wow, he came out with the name then.1) the organization didn’t decide anything, it was a collective decision by the players themselves
2) the reporter who broke the video game addiction specifically said it was Juolevi.
