Psssssh! Video games? If it ain't Call of Duty, then it ain't a video game, amirite? Seriously, there's no other games in existence!
I've been a gamer nearly all my life as well. Started out with my NES when I was a child, and the love bloomed from there. From Bubble Bobble and Ducktales, to the vast mix of stuff I play now, games have always been part of me. I enjoy action/adventure platformers, RPG's, puzzle games, and I was a Warcraft player (retired after Cata's release).
Like Amber, I too, work at the video game monopoly! We're actually old coworkers, and now good friends.
I'm also heavily into cosplay, and that's a HUGE part of the reason I started losing weight to begin with. I was getting sick and tire of being picked on at conventions about my weight. I almost ended up giving up cosplay entirely because of it. But I got my butt in gear and started working hard, and the results are finally starting to pay off!
FPS - gears, halo, Assassins creed
RPG - DAOC, RIFT, WOW
Simulations - Driving and flying ..
Love anime and cosplay... So god speed! keep on keepin on!0 -
You know what game is shockingly hard. That newish Donkey Kong game for the Wii? That was NOT made for children LOL! Hard!
There is a Mario one..I can't remember which one it is, but it makes my head hurt(which isn't hard to do), but it was insane! Really trippy to play
Mario Galaxy made me motion sick. The new (like a year old HA!) 2d one is so awesome - it's like being 8 again
I think that is the one!
I could not remember the name of it, but now that I think about it, I think it is that one! Just with the twisting and turning and shifting and rotating I was like OMG!:sick:0 -
Geek/gamer/comic collector... I need to go to a con since I'm such a fanboy... wtf?
Xbox - Madden, CoD, MW, BF, Batman (currently playing the hell out of Batman).
PC - WoW (quit a few months back, just got bored, played since stress tests and closed betas), started with Star Wars Galaxies, and waiting impatiently for Star Wars: The Old Republic. Me and some friends are getting the band back together... it's gonna be nutty.
d20 - All iterations of D&D since the Red Box. I've also played my fair share of d10 things, but d20 is where my geeky little heart is at. I don't play much now, no games going on, but I would given the chance and I still had time to work out and enjoy the other aspects of my life. lol
I got fat due to the increase of sitting on my *kitten* time, and consuming HUGE amounts of crappy food while firmly holding my chair down with my giant *kitten*.0 -
Full time Raider on WoW (Runetotem),
Xbox: Madden, NHL, Gears 3, Black Ops
Magic the Gathering, Munchkin, Monopoly, I even played pokemon when i was young.
I Love me some games, but the food was a *****. I used to take whole totinos pizza's and wrap them up like a taco and eat them while raiding, 24 cans of dew during raid was no problem, pringles cans emptied like a boss, Pizza hut on speed dial and arbys on backup. One time I bought 10 plain couble cheeseburgers from burger king and left the sack sitting by my computer chair and when i got the urge to snack during a boss fight i'd grab a Duvb and demolish the **** out of it. Fatty had a problem.
My fat *kitten* went from 170 lbs to 220...
but my DPS went from 6k to 33k
Sacrifices...I'm sure I could have made some lol0 -
I'll join this shenanigan.
MMO's: UO, EQ1/2, WoW, SWG, DAoC, AoC, and am waiting for SW:ToR
Also waiting on Skyrim.0 -
Gamer through and through. I used to identify as a consoel gamer only (nintendo, PS, PS2, PS3) but now I have branched into the computer gaming. I am currently kicking some butt ( ha ha I'm only level 16) in Lord of the Rings Online. I have enjoyed the Witcher. I love Heroes. Sims is fun to goof around with from time to time.
On Playstation I love: the persona games (esp 3 and 4), Final Fantasy series (esp 10), Dragon Age (I and II), Little Big Planet (1 & 2), Crash Bandicoot games, Metal Gear Solid series, Kingdom Hearts, etc
On the Wii: Trauma Team, Super Mario Bros, Mario Party, Mario Kart

Im in. PC gamer and enthusiast.
Played them all really, dreading what BF3 is going to do to my waist line.0 -
Awww, this is awesome Geeks unite :P
I play Magic the Gathering every other day with a group of guys at a local coffee shop and Half Life (online) regularly. I go to Sci Fi conventions all the time. And, in my opinion, Vin Diesel is the "perfect" guy. He is both gamer and body builder
I also used to play Phantasmagoria and the Myst series religiously.0 -
I'VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR A GROUP LIKE THIS!
Elder Scrolls are awesome, and they just keep getting better and better! You bet Ima be there the night before Skyrim comes out....in costume! I'm looking for some good elf ears, a robe, and staff.
Dragon Age Origins is awesome!! The second one looks like a good game, but I don't think it's quite a "Dragon Age".
You can't forget all the KOTORs and Age of Empires and Mythology. Those are always good to go to for a good time.
Luna was cool, until they totally DESTROYED it! >.<
Pirates of the Burning Sea, anyone?
I'm military and unfortunately, that has torn me from my old DnD group. *tear* Ohhh I miss it so......0 -

OMG .. Phantasmagoiria... wasn't that like a 7 CD game with a border line sex/rape scene? I remember something like that because, you are playing this horror game .. and then the dude loses his mind and nails his wife. Something like that..0 -

I have only been to a few cons. Love them. It's so fun to be around people who love the same things you love.
What's your fave con? Fave con moment?0 -

For healthy ones? LOL
I would recommend maybe some crackers with peanut butter on them if that doesn't float the boat to much do a bowl of grapes. But if you do something with like a peanut butter, it will fill you up more OR get some 100 calorie popcorn! I know they have some good popcorn out there that will work for you I am trying to think what is in my kitchen that will help and those are the things that care coming to mind 0 -
Popcorn and fat-free pretzels. Air popped popcorn is amazing, and you can put whatever you want on it afterwards. 0

Carrots! I always had some of those when I was raiding! Also, in shell sunflower seeds were always a nice snack!0 -

Cause it takes you forever to eat them. lol In the same vein, in shell pistachios.0 -
If you do cellary you can actually burn calories while eating them because they take so long in your body to digest!0

Hi everyone!! I too have been a gamer all my life! And I know exactly what a good MMO will do to the hips haha
Let's see... The first game I ever played was, I think, this game called Castle Quest. At least I think that's what it was called, It's been so long >.< It was for the NES and all I remember is that you went around collecting colored keys that went to the corresponding colored doors.
I'm currently playing EverQuest 2, The Sims 3 Pets, Oblivion (preparing for Skyrim!), Just Dance 3 (awesome for exercise), and Amnesia.
Can't wait for Silent Hill Downpour! I can't even begin to tell you how much I love the series. Fatal Frame too, if they ever start releasing games in the US again...

When I was in college, I did Dance Dance Revolution competitively
No. Srsly.
We had an arcade machine in our student union, and I would play 3 songs everyday. Absolutely great for cardio... I even did a speech on it fir one of my classes. After I left school I found out that they'd removed the machine....now I have to go find another one to get my DDR fix!0 -
Hey! I've been gaming most of my life, i'm currently at university so confined to my PC games, at the moment playing a lot of Sims 3, Minecraft and recently downloaded Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 (feeling incredibly retro haha). Back home I play a lot of WoW, Rift and Guitar Hero, definitely a WoW addict, unfortunately my laptop doesn't run it too well so I have to wait til my visits home to be able to play, which sucks!0

Calling all gamers!!0

I started out with a Sega Genesis because my mom liked Sonic the Hedgehog.
I later got myself an SNES so I could play Chrono Trigger, which is still my favorite game ever! I like jrpgs and mmorpgs (never played WoW, mostly f2p games). I mainly like the older type of rpgs like the ones that were on SNES and PS1.
I would sometimes sit and play games for 12 hours at a time and forget to eat. I think I messed up my metabolism doing that, since I never really overate and have always been a diet soda drinker.
I like to play DDR too, but I'm not very good at it. I never really got past playing on Basic.0 -
I'll join this shenanigan.
MMO's: UO, EQ1/2, WoW, SWG, DAoC, AoC, and am waiting for SW:ToR
Also waiting on Skyrim.
I can not wait till SW:Tor. I don't know if I will leave Rift, but I am excited.
In other news.... I tried the sunflower seeds in ROTF dg last night. We wiped because evidently i care more about shelling sunflower seeds than keeping us alive. Whoops! Going to try carrots.0 -
I was a huge computer gamer a few years ago. Guild wars started it all. Then wow and lotro. I became a full time raider we would go 6-7 times a week. I never did add up hours played across the account I'm sure it would make me cry! It almost ruined my marriage. What can I say I loved healing lol. Now I have a son and it's impossible to play I try to use my Xbox kinect at least 3 times a week. I do miss WOW but not the zombie I was
Ps hard candy works for raids... I did sugar free. But I used to concentrate hard and sucking helps... No pun intended lol0 -
Oops on the sunflower seeds....lol
I've had snack mishaps that have caused me to wipe raids (for I too was a healer) Best one was dumping my water on my keyboard...so pro. ><!0 -
Awwwwww yaaaaa. I started playing WoWcrack, and now I'm getting bored with it, and my friend's turned me onto Starcraft Dos. I play some PS3 too now and then.0

I just quoted you because I recognize Tao. You obviously play, or at least know of, BB (and I know you won't reference BeachBody, when I use the acronym). It's such a refreshing rarity to see a fellow gamer of one of the greatest fighting games I've become addicted to. In my prime, I'd 6B Haku-stomp you. But sadly, I've gotten rusty and am probably a high-ranking scrub.0
