Y’all’s kids play fortnite?

Yes and I hate it. We’ve started capping him at an hour of screen time per day, although I’m certain he hops back on when we go to bed. It’s no Goldeneye 64.
That mess has taken over the solar system. If you go online and look at Playstation Live, Fortnite has more streams than all the other games on the list put together. Way more than CoD and Apex.
Yes he does and I hate it. Don't understand it and don't want to. He even has a Fortnite Monopoly game ( word to the wise, don't get it. The 17ing game never ends). Luckily he is into Madden as much as Fortnite so I can always play him in that.
In regards to all time games NCAA Football has to be first followed by Tyson's Punchout and Tecmo Bowl. After that I would throw in NBA Jam, Excitebike, Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros.

I played Fortnite shortly after it came out. Stopped playing when they started adding stuff on and completely changing the map. My fingers can’t move fast enough anymore to build to block shots.
Tried to play with my kids but I never could get the hang of building. I did play some with a dad group - the dad gaming on FB, they do a “no build” night on Sunday. It was fun when it was crappy dads, but I quit when good players & their kids started taking it over too.
If you still play it you should look the group up.

Yeah I hated building. At first it wasn’t that big of a deal but now you’ve got to do it well or you’re going to die quickly.
The worst are the PC guys. They can build astronomically faster on keys than anyone with a controller can. It’s painfully easy to spot them. I’ve gotten a lot better at building.
When I was being loaded up into the wagon one of the cops said, “hey what kinda gun was it again?” When I told him he hollered, “wanna sell it?”
I still have the bullet and the gun.
It’s easy to spot PC or mouse and keyboard players in games that crossover with consoles. They’re more twitchy.
I just bought an Xbox S on Christmas Eve for the family…couldn’t find an X. Magically, I just got an X from Best Buy yesterday.
I played FN a few days ago, but we aren’t plugged in right now so no idea if it’s down at our house. Fun game though.
And yeah, I can’t build and rarely bother. What these pro gamers can do with building is insane.
dude, I’d asked in a thread a while back, but I’m very curious about the accidental discharge. Fault of you or the weapon? No judgment here…scares me to death. I think everyone could learn something in any case.
Yeah he plays it. It is fun but very challenging. He does not play it a whole lot....I make him clean the barn, milk the goats, run suicides, and skin a boar before i let him play. I don't want no fortnite, cheeto eatin, pussboy!
Played for a while. It progressively got more cartoonish/childish (as if playing video games at my age is "mature") and I found myself in lobbies with little kids often. Note to parents, don't cut your 5yo loose online. If I were some kind of perv, there were little kids everywhere with mics and headsets asking me to "friend them" online (I didn't). Back to Fortnite. Can shoot and build but can't edit in the middle of a fight and keep up with everything going on, so off to Apex I went and haven't looked back. Rarely run across a kid playing Apex and it is way more mature.***
I worked with a guy once who had a scar that started in mid-thigh and ran all the way down to his ankle. Ropy line that looked like a worm had plowed down his leg. He got it when he was practicing "Quick Draw" in from of a mirror and shot himself as he was drawing his 38. He was actually proud of it. IMO he was not the sharpest tack in the box.
It's really in the edits to play at a high level. If you can build but can't take walls and edit like a madman, you're toast against better players.
You know I have some people in my family that I really want to tell them: "If you pick them to date, you shouldn't date them." You may qualify for that advice.
I play it with a descent level of success and I never build. It can be done, you just gotta use other strategies. The best thing to combat the builders is to pick up some firefly jars. Whenever they start building, just light their structures on fire. Shield wont protect against fire an their health takes a big hit every second a player burns.
I played Fortnite on iPad till that disappeared. Literally the first game I played on Xbox I came in 2nd. Knew that was a complete anomaly. I tend to land way out on the edges and slowly make my way to the center if possible. I’m a pacifist.
I’ll have to check out Apex. For my kid of course.**

100 percent fault of my own.
Buddy’s picked me up one night to go out. Got **** faced, blackout drunk, ordered an Uber for myself and went home. Was smoking a cig outside when I thought I had left another pack in my truck. Went in to get it, said oh I didn’t put my pistol away. Finished smoking, grabbed the pistol with my right hand and jumped out my truck, kinda stumbled and in the whole process squeezed the trigger. Really just a freak accident and would not have happened if I had it holstered, like I normally do, or was sober.
You do know the average gamer is now 35 years old. Only about 30 percent of gamers are under 18.
good thing you were hammered…I kid.
btw, if you like documentaries and have any interest in gaming, or even not. There’s a really interesting one on the history of XBOX that came out recently. It’s called Power On and it’s on YouTube… the business aspects of it and the ups and downs are pretty fascinating.
