Poll: Gaming guilty pleasure.

[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.

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.

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.

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.

 

[BolognaBaloney]

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.

 

[jimduckie]

running people over in gta especially in gta 4 ... beeping my horn with a sadistic chuckle

 

[Thimblefoot]

I am guilty of liking the Pokemon Blue, Route 1 music a little TOO much.

 

[Maddenfreak]

if I kill someone in an offline competitive match in Resistance2 I always have to teabag

 

[Willwillwritehiswill]

I have pleasures. None of them guilty. I've got no time for guilt.

i'm not going to name them!

 

[PxDn Ninja]

Not really a guilty pleasure, but I own a genuine Revolution X Arcade cabinet in near mint condition.

And I love it.

And I play it.

A ridiculous notion. Anyone can claim that something is below them about anything, so the whole concept becomes meaningless because there is no standard that any people can agree upon, except from person to person. That in of itself means that the standard for guilty pleasure can only be accurately measured by one's own self, since other people will have other opinions that you may not agree with. Thus, if I'm the only judge unto myself, then only I determine if I'm having a guilty pleasure, to which the answer is "No". For me, there is no guilty pleasure. Only pleasure in one column, and guilt in the other. If you are not satisfied with this, mhmmm...tough.

Do you really not understand the concept, or are you just being stubborn? No one here really feels guilty about what they are saying. It's just a thread created for a few laughs and you're splitting hairs about the true definition of what the the phrase 'guilty pleasure' means, and how you don't really feel guilty. I would of thought you would get the gist of it from the first page, but apparently not.

 

[Thunderhorse31]

Im excited about playing as Raiden. I also like anime style girls in games.

Redundant much?



BA-ZING!

 

[socialtangent]

I have a fondness to play as the Spy in TF2 just to be able to Cloak and Dagger into the enemy base just to be there. I love the feeling of hanging out amongst the enemy without them even knowing about it. Sometimes I'll decloak and sap a sentry or spray a wall just to send the team into a spy-checking panic. Having the power to psychologically mess with the enemy is all too satisfying. I don't care too much about my place on the scoreboard when I'm having that much fun.

 

[yankeefan19]

The fact that I'm excited about the Pokemon G/S remakes.

Same here, I also enjoy Mirrors edge

 

[Jharry5]

I'm still rather partial to playing Pokemon Leaf Green, and Crash Team Racing...

Hey, everyone else here knows I'm winding him up, right? 'Cause my first comment was suppose to be a joke.

 

[Tekyro]

Pokemon. Not really a guilty pleasure for me, as most of my friends also like it =P

Also, I can honestly say that I think Raiden is a good character *waits to be stabbed*
