Neither of which are Donkey Kong.
Both of the ones you mention I had to start playing out of tournament requirement.
However, I like Galaxian now, it grew on me. I play it for fun now. DK Jr.....I only play that when I have to now. Tastes change over time....
Yes, exactly (Neither of which are Donkey Kong). You played games that did not have the status of Donkey Kong that you did not enjoy playing, but you played them anyways until you got very good. So wouldn't it than be reasonable to say if one is playing less popular games "Not for fun", that one would be playing more popular games for ulterior motives than just for fun? And than you talk about not submitting a Donkey Kong score. Heck you submitted your Donkey Kong Junior score, and you hate that game.
You can't have it both ways Steve. You can't say I don't know why I play games I don't like, and then say I only play Donkey Kong for fun. Those two statements go directly against each other. You can't be a snob, and say "I am good at this so, and so game but I don't like playing it." And than be a snob in the other direction, and say "I am good at this so, and so game but I only play for fun."
If you didn't come with an implied attitude that somehow it's nobler to only play games for fun, than yeah I would have let you slid on the statement. But since you come off as hypocritical I am going to call you on it. And to be honest I am probably just as wrong for calling you on it. No one likes to be called to the carpet, and it's a good way to get people not to like you. I just can't help it at times. Some people are grammar dictators, and I just so happen to be a logical fallacy dictator. I need to stop doing that.
So OK, if you want to respond, than so be it. And this will be my last post on why I think your two statements seem paradoxical. I made my point, and going beyond this would be beating a dead horse.
