Ultrajoe: There would be a reckoning. The order would spread, and at first i would disbelieve it, how could this be true? I would ask the internet, and the series of tubes would confirm it.
Something would awake.
Below rock and mortar would awake a demon of rage, my helm would flash red and my rage would summon to me this demon of hate and flame. He would ascend through time and space to erupt, screaming pain and black revelation, into our mortal dimension. My hate would find a source and all would know rage.
Like a vengeful god i would spear upwards from the ULTRAhouse to shower the sky in mortar and red hot iron. My bellow would stretch through rock and steel.
There Will Be No Dawn For Men.
To Me Would Come The Gamers, Filled With Rage And Hate.
And I Will Say, Even As The Sky Is Drenched Red In My Pure Hate And Utter, Utter Disapproval.
And I Will Say
You Shall Be My Finest Warriors. You Men Who Give Of Yourselves To Me Like Source Code Will I Mould You And In The Furnace Of Online Play Will I Forge You. You Will Be Of Keen Eye And Lightning Reflexes. With Great Hardware Shall I Clad You And With The Mightiest BFG's Will You Be Armed. You Will Be Untouched By Hunger Or Cramps, No Tiredness Will Blight You. You Will Have Tactics, Strats And Buffs So That No Noob Will Best You in Battle You Will By My Bulwark Against The Faggotry. You Are The Defenders Of Gaming. You Shall Be My Leet Marines And You Shall Know No Lag.
It Will Begin With The Unsuspecting. They Will Awake One Morning To Find Themselves Shaking From Some Unholy Quake.
And It Will Be The Thunderous Steps Of The Chosen, As They Make A Bloody War On All Before Them.
No Aim Bot Will Pervert Them But Still None Will Escape The Booming Headshots, Perfect Frags In A Ballet Of Utter Pwnage Beyond That Which Even The Devil Himself Can Achieve With A Hack. They Shall Know No Respawn, For No Harm Shall They Allow To Grace Them. With Shields Of Righteous Fury They Will Bring The Light Of The Truth To The Heretic, The Blasphemer And The Camper... Especially The Camper.
Flame Shall Roll In Waves Before Them, As Battalions Of Battleships Fly Overhead.
All Shall Fall.
Military After Military Shall Crumble Before The Power Of The FPS God Commanded By The RTS Veteran, And With G-Mod Contraptions Shall They Reave Down All Opposition.
Until I Stand, The Avatar Of Our Will, Above The King Of The Government.
From the ashes we will build a new world, Sim city players acting as mayors to keep towns safe, Zoo/theme park/space tycoon players will push into realms of design and the stars. FPS players will train constantly to be ready to meet the foes we may meet and the gamut of gaming experience will topple all obstacles in our path.
And that, my friends, is what i would do if they banned gaming.
I want some of what you're smoking, it sounds delightful.
...
Can...can i be your second in command sir? please :(
I would be careful so, Ultrajoe, otherwise you may attract the wrong type of attention with your god modding posts. A certain sniper/ninja/shadow would do, so beware all that you do.
I must learn to not post after watching the season finale of Unforgotten Realms, it makes me think I can rhyme... see what I mean...
EDIT: Wow, the above post just lowered The Escapists forums just by its presence. Please, somebody take care of it. =(

And that, my friends, is what i would do if they banned gaming.
I would probably start playing with fire or watch tonnes of movies.
Failing that I would go around the UK and have sex with as many women as I possibly could, whatever it would end up being, it would be extremely anti-social/immoral.
Bored Tomatoe: I was just wondering about this hypothetical question: what if all videogames were outlawed because they were too "dangerous" and the government put a permanent ban on them?
I'd finally get off my ass and start tossing burning bottles of alcohol stuffed with clothing shreds through the windows of government buildings
If video games were outlawed. I'd probably try to start a revolt but seeing as how I'm so addicted to video games after I manage to kill someone I'd probably start playing the Final Fantasy victory music on my Ipod
Zaleznikel: I bet there are enough smart gamers to go underground with games.
And if some international government does decide games are too "dangerous", there are enough people that play games for them to decide to regulate/create their own rather than ban them entirely. Games could be good propaganda someday.
I agree with Zaleznikel. If fact, the government of the U.S. is already doing this. *Cough* America's Army *Cough*
If games were banned, I would be forced to re enact my favorite FPS, survival horror games, as realistically as possible. So you know, maybe don't outlaw then, unless you want GTV IV coming to a town near you.
Hunde Des Krieg: The gamer army would rise to conquer the fascist government, Oh wait we would probably all get locked up and executed... nevermind.
Not really. Gamers would be too lazy to get out of their chairs, and those that do get out, are confused why their weapons don't shoot people when they aim their guns, but that could be because of this:
Well, if games do make us war machines, then we would just take over the world/country/whatever to get them back. If they don't make us war machines, then there would be no reason to ban.
Your.Name.Here: What happened when booze was banned? Mafia formed in America. What happened when drugs were banned? Drug dealers originated on our streets. What will happen when video games are banned? The Game Dealing Video Mafia of course!
That. would. be. epic.
I'd imagine them like this: or maybe this:
Talking of that, I hear there's a Super Mafia Brothers game. Sounds awesome.
if video games were banned, i'd have no real option other than to knuckle down for my GCSE. actually, I think i'd rather stick [insert sharp object here] in my[insert body part or girlfriend here]
I'd have all my video games shipped to my friend Raiya in Israel, and then she could forward them over to me in box that says in big letters "definitely, 100% not video games inside"
well since they took out the alternative i guess ill have to play tabletop games...(sigh) fun but not nearly as stimulating.
