Games you wish you could play but can't

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Chess. It looks so intelligent and mentally stimulating yet I don't understand the rules at all and can't be arsed to learn now.

Also I get invited to countless poker nights but have to decline because I've never played. This I will get round to learning because it seems to be one of those invaluable man skills every fella worth his salt should know, like hot-wiring a car or unhooking a bra with one hand.

It takes seconds to learn the rules of chess. It's pretty simple really.

I gather, but being competitive I think it'd take me a while to get good enough not to be convincingly beaten each time.

Im with you on poker, most sports Im fine with but any man needs to know how to play poker.

seeing as i bloody love ice hockey, i wish i could do it! but i cant even ice skate, and my field hockey abilities are limited. have a friend who goes to mcgill in montreal (where they are hockey mad) and when i visited, was invited onto the rink. thinking it would be like the uk where nobody can skate and its all funny. i was MOCKED for about an hour by people ranging between 2-80 years old all seemlessly gliding past me. i was then finally guided around the rink arm in arm by 2 girls, looking like a proper idiot, and fell over too.

shockingly embarrassing, will never ice skate agian, so will never be able t oreplicate gretzky

Football. In tandem with my 5-a-side team mates opinions.

 

[Foolg]

Golf.
Never had a lesson bar a couple of free trials at Burgess Hill, and usually get round the easier courses when I play rarely at around 18 over par
Would love to be able to play well, but never had the time to play reguarly enough. Likewise I wish i took up cricket when i was younger, i'm still young but you get what i mean, something to do while the football seasons on its summer break.

I used to go to chess club when I was younger with a bunch of 50+ year old men. Shocker.

I'm no good at Quiz's- shocking general knowledge.

All about practice DS and plotting ahead.

I can hold.my own in most sports. I'd quite like to be better at darts. Simply because I end up ruined when drinking darts ensue. I'm glad you put games and not sports as otherwise I would not have been able to add darts.

Doesn't drinking darts give you a sore throat?

A good point I had forgotten to point out (point being the operative word).

Don't try it at home, kids.

 

[SUIYHP]

Any of the FIFA football computer games.

Don't get me wrong I LOVE football, and because I am a young 'un I enjoy playing video games, but I'm USELESS when the two are put together, I don't know how to cross, dribble, take a corner, play tactically, take a free kick, the only thing I'm capable of doing is going amateur and doing a solo run to and from either end of the pitch.

18 over par is prob better score than 90% of people who play week in, week out!

That was when i was playing as reguarly as i ever had to be fair, and one of my better scores
My driving is fine, hadnt played for a year or so and started hitting 300 yards ish with a 5 wood last week at the range, but my irons and putting are a shambles.

Poker.

I'm ok at it but with money involved others can read me like a book when it comes to emotions. Playing online would get me completely hooked.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Football, at any level.
