For me, I play demos almost obsessively, the problem being it occasionally, ruins the games for me... So what about you?

I don't really like demos, there always just parts of games that are lacking much and leave little point to the time spent getting them.

Also, what is a Malady?

Nothing wrong with playing demos (plenty wrong with demos themselves though but thats for another day.)

Mine is rather lame. I like to dick with the NPCs in games, and if I could get away with the same things in an MMO I'd probably do it there too. Not malicious or anything, just annoying and mischievous. Take Mario Sunshine. I'd run around and just constantly spray the townspeople with water, steal their display fruit and put it on roofs, just general nonsense.

Same with bully. Nothing like running up to cops, giving them a wedgie and then fleeing to a hiding spot.

Well, that's just fun..... I mean, who doesn't do that?

Like an illness I guess, though that's not the best word for it, I say eh. It's fine enough.

I'm an explorationist to a fault. If there's a chance I'll find something awesome anywhere in a game, I'll go there. Doesn't matter how much I kill my player doing stupid things, or how dead empty a place is, I go in and scour the place till there is no gun unfound, no guy unkillified, no village unpillaged etc... My friends and loved ones still curse the day I found out what RPG meant.

This too is my malady. That's probably the one flaw of any RPG. You get addicted to finding and searching for awesome stuff or stuff you don't need but can sell to buy awesome stuff.

I spend way too much time playing games, but at the same time, get bored of any one game so quickly that I never get really good at any of them.

And I just can't wrap my head around the "Traditional RTS". The metagame just turns me right off, it seems like there are no tactics or strategy involved, just microing your units (having to order a soldier to throw a grenade? For fuck's sake.) and playing the Mining and Factory Simulation.

I do that, and not always in games that I should, in the force unleashed I died a few times because I thought there would be something hidden on a ledge or something that I could see and turns out your not supposed to go that way and just fall to my death.

I have never finished a final fantasy game because I dont want to beat it without doing a whole bunch of extra things which I cant be bothered to do so I stop playing just before the end.
