Poll: Gaming guilty pleasure.

[Eatbrainz]

I have girl characters in World of Warcraft

in Fallout 3 i thought Colin Moriarty was a quite likable character (god i wish more characters in fallout 3 were irish)

i puased the game and cried out loud when my dog died in Fable 2

When me and my friends get a 'little' drunk, we go on Playstation Home as a female character, then put on persona's (e.g a very posh lady from cambridge) when the inevitable dregs of society come and try to chat us up. Then when we get bored we tell them we'll brb and never return. Everyone's in fits of laughter at just how low some people will go on the internet.

 

[hopeneverdies]

I apologize?

And right now I'm replaying 7 to see what the big hype about it is (I don't see it, but damned if I'm not going to finish what I started!) and to tear out the hearts of the Emerald and Ruby WEAPON's and eat them in front of 'em.

And chalk up another for the KH theme song singers!

EDIT: And I learned every video game song worth remembering on my guitar.
EDIT II: At least the ones I've encountered as of yet.

Same boat about FF7, I wasn't enjoying it, but I would burn in hell if I didn't finish it. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy it. The only character I felt attachment for was Cid

[small]And that bit about Aeris dying, yeah the materia system actually killed that, in that with that system, everyone is pretty much interchangeable, so her dying wasn't exactly a blow for me.[/small]

Anyway I tend to enjoy older games more than a lot of newer games for some reason that isn't nostalgia. I also know the lyrics to both KH themes including the backwards version of Sanctuary.

Well, it's not games, but I disliked every anime I've seen, except one. Samurai Champloo. I absolutely loved Samurai Champloo...

As for games I guess that I'm getting Pokemon Heart Gold, and I don't even have a DS.

 

[Aardvark Soup]

Does really liking Metal Gear Solid 2 count?

Beside that, I beat all three Paper Mario games at least once per year: I completed Paper Mario for N64 eight times, The Thousand Year Door seven times and Super Paper Mario three times. I don't know why, I just really like playing these games.

I hate Halo but yet I play with friends all night. We get two Xbox's and we usually do teams of 3 and it's fun as hell when you play from 8pm to 7am with friends.

Wait, so I'm suppose to feel BAD about something I do in a game, a game which I bought/borrowed/stole/'found'/etc. to have a GOOD time? You expect me to feel guilty about something which I dragged up to my domicile and wanted to mess about with? Are you frigging kidding me? No dice.

lol good call. If a game is fun or sad who the fuck cares.

I play fiesta. Yes, fiesta. It's like WoW, except with four classes, fighter, mage, archer, and cleric. Though, the weird thing is, at level twenty you become something new, a clever fighter, WizMage, hawk archer, or high cleric, then other things. It also has monsters you would see if you were high, as in mushrooms with arms, a blue crab, and little... raindrop shaped... things. It has better graphics than RuneScape, and it's FREE! Seriously. Go download it. Right now. If you don't wanna pay for WoW, go do it. OutSpark.com. It's kick ass for a free MMO, and as close as you're gonna get to WoW for free.

 

[lwm3398]

I just have the urge to get all the mainstream Pokemon games.

Gotta catch 'em all, eh?

Gotta get that national Pokedex, right? Come on? I can't be the only one who knows about this? you get the Game Boy Advance games? play them on your DS while playing Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum? Guys? Guys? *hangs head in shame and crawls to corner*

I have never said this before, never will again, but:

Lolwut?

Isn't heart gold for Game Boy Advance? Oh crap, now i have to go google it!

I'd probably say buying the special edition of Halo Wars for me. If that's not a guilty pleasure I don't know what is. In my defence, the special edition was worth the extra £10. Unfortunately, the game itself wasn't worth the other £30.

Apparently you don't understand the concept of a guilty pleasure.

Give the man a cigar. I think he's onto something.

I am sorry, fellow game players, but if gaming equals fun and guilt equals not fun, then I logically can't be guilty about having fun. In order to negate this idea, you would have to give me some sort of REASON to feel guilty that can actually apply to me.

 

[Aura Guardian]

I own this game

But I'm not the type to hide it since I play it with my friend and she finds the game funny

 

[Kasawd]

Neverwinter Knights 2.

I was and am obsessed with getting max influence for every character, no matter how difficult.

 

[Spindleweed]

32 years old, still play Pokemon. Love Peggle. Cry whenever I hear "Still Alive" from Portal.

 

[SimuLord]

I've got one, it's the Sims, we've been over this already.

The phrase 'guilty pleasure' doesn't really mean you are ashamed of what you do. Otherwise, no one would be posting here. It just means it's something you enjoy that some other people might consider beneath them. It's not like we're screaming 'Shame, shame!' at the people who say they go on Neopets. In fact, they obviously don't feel 'guilty' or else they wouldn't be posting here. Haven't you ever heard the phrase before?

And yes, it is possible to feel guilty while having fun. It's quite easy.

I sometimes wish I lived in the storyline of the monkey island games. As long as each place had their respective tunes playing in the background.

This thread has been done many times before.

OT: Kingdom Hearts and DDR

Oh shut up, does one really need to hear that on every thread.

Well if it decreases the sheer numbers of repeat threads, then yes.
