Years ago I bought "Hey You, Pikachu!" for the Nintendo 64... I thought it would be funky to own a voice recognition game for the N64. (I later bought Odama for the Gamecube for much the same reason, but that one is not nearly as embarrassing.)
Isn't it strange how it changes the dynamic of your life? I'm not putting the game down or anything, it was fun and I don't regret playing it, but... even if you aren't pulling 8 hour sessions ever single day, I notice that it still has this weird pull. I'll tell myself "oh i'll only play for an hour" and it ends up being 2 or 3. Not only that, but I didn't play any other game during that entire time. Part of the fun of gaming is the variety in challenge and experience. I'm not saying WoW is evil, but it is kinda like the marijuana of the game world.PhantomDave said:Yeah me too....been clean and sober for almost 5 months now.

Believe me, there are few things in a gamer's life more awkward or ultimately futile than trying to explain to a woman why you're sitting there watching a computer game character get laid. Almost as bad is explaining to your friends (and strangers who happen to find out about it) that you're not some kind of weirdo pervert just because you imported the UK version of the game because the North American release had censored nudity.
Great game, but man, what a hassle.
Sir i insist you take pokemon out of that list. Seriously every good geek/nerd played pokemon on a handheld when they were 6 there's nuffin wrong with it. Imo Pokemon > spore at least it kept me interested for more than 3 hours =)Graustein said:I play many games that others would deem "kiddie" and something to be ashamed of.
Pokemon, Harvest Moon, I used to play The Sims, I have a deep fondness for Kirby...
I have no regrets.
Kingdom Hearts WAS completely amazing. It had an interesting story, exciting combat, Final Fantasy characters (dayum roight SOOOOON), the Disney characters some people know and love, recognizable worlds, AND it was *gasp* even family friendly! NO-ONE should be ashamed of playing Kingdom Hearts!!!ironfist86 said:Guess I'll be the first to say WoW (though I am currently on indefinite hiatus).
I oddly have no problem admitting to enjoying Kingdom Hearts and KH2 immensely, even though I personally hate Disney and everything they stand for. The battle engine was just so much fun to me, are there more games out there like it that I am currently ignorant to?
Oh yes, I also bought DDR: Mario Mix, as well as Donkey Konga 1 and 2.darrinwright said:Oh, and definitely DDR: Mario Mix.
