Video game addicts in the house?

Re: Is there any video game addicts in the house?

*shrug* PC is always going to be the strongest to me, but the actual functionality of my PC gaming depends on my modem and junk, which is still 56k. Can't do anything good on dial-up. I can play The Sims 2, that's about it. I get enough gaming done on my consoles, anyway. I can handle using my PC for other stuff.

When GTA:SA comes out for the PC next week, it'll take a lot of my power to stop me from walking into Walmart or Ala Moana and getting that game, especially since now I have only 2 classes.

The last time I played a new video game, I didn't sleep, eat, nor went to the bathroom for hours, and since I got a strategy guide, I literally crammed the 150 or so hours of expected game time into a few days (and I still didn't beat the game)

(FYI, I don't want this to become a flame war, but the PC will come out superior in a few years after the next gen consoles are release; its all about the SLIs and upgradability baby!)

*raises hand*

If I'm not an addict, then I dunno what I am. I'd probably drop out of college to play games, but I've got my priorities straight. At least, I like to think so.

Anyway, E3 coverage was watched by me. I barely slept, was online most of the time, downloading every new trailer I've been waiting for since last year's E3, and talking to my friend who was lucky enough to go to the show. It's funny, because the thing I'm most excited about isn't even a game. I died and went to heaven when I saw the new trailer for the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children movie.

I'm already earning money for the XBox 360, never got a chance to get the first XBox, so this will be a good purchase for me considering the services you get for free with it. Don't know if I'll get it as soon as it releases, though. I'd rather have the PS3 and Revolution. My PS2 is like an all-purpose system for me, and a good majority of the games I play are available for PS2. The next group of games important to me are all from Nintendo. XBox has some good exclusives, but nothing I can't live without.

I play a wide variety of games. I don't normally play racing or sports games. FPS games are cool, but I probably play those the least out of everything else I enjoy. I don't have a genre preference. I enjoy quite a few franchises and even obscure games. Been playing since the Nintendo, never had an Atari or anything older than a Nintendo/GameBoy, I think. I'm positive that the first game I ever played was Metal Gear for NES. I remember I also ate strawberry Jell-O for the first time while playing it, haha. I still have all my systems, too but not all are hooked up or used, of couse...got NES, SNES, Turbo Grafx, Genesis, Sega CD, PS, PS2, N64, GCN...GB, GBA, GBC, GBA SP, GameGear, and DS.

I have no idea how we had the money to get all that over the past few years, but I am one lucky girl and I love my parents for putting up with me.

Relaxing after a hard days work for me is turning on my PS2,hopping on a motorcycle with a rocket launcher and blowing up parts of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.First person shooters like the Frontline Medal Of Honor series and third person ones like Max Payne are my favorites.Also like survival horror like Silent Hill and Resident Evil and can't wait for Resident Evil 4 to finally come over to Playstation from Nintendo.

New Gen Systems.

Hello everyone I just wanted to see if anyone here plays video games, that's all. I was just wondering if anyone has seen the E3 show? I did and I was truelly pumped up when they introduced the Nex Gen Systems. What I am talking about for those of you who don't know is systems like Xbox, Playstation 2, Nintendo Game cube these are called Game Consoles, and every five years companies such as these introduce Game Console to the market with more graphics and faster speed and better sound added to it, these systems we call New Generation Systems. It is the end of the fifth year for all the game consoles, so as you know the next gen come out next year. It must be a hell of a nightmare for parents who have kids that are addicted to these machines. I am really excited for all the new systems coming out especially for the new Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. I know that means more money to shell out, and waist. But hey I am a gamer so it doesn't matter to me. For any of you who are Nintendo players, I saw the new console and wasn't all that impressed but it did offer some good things such as downloadable content for all the Nintendo games ever made. If anything do reply I would like to see everyone's reaction to this new era in gaming. And keep it coming, maybe we can learn more from each other or something like that.
