    I'm a gamer, and yes, I sit at my computer waaaaaay too long and now that I quit smoking (used to chain smoke as I sat here) it is so hard not to over snack. I need to get off these nicorette gums, they're my new diet aid lol. Today I have the gum and carrot sticks.....a step in the right direction.

    I'm not into the high tech games, I play an awesome text based rpg called Cantr II. And in between my Cantr bouts, I was addicted to a war game called Travian.

    I'm a gamer! I haven't been playing a whole lot recently, but I need to get back into it since I have so many that I haven't played (kind of like my book collection...). I'm more old school in what I like- I don't play online and the only computer games I have are the Sims 1 and 2 (too many expansions on 2 made it stop working on my last computer). I have quite a few systems, but my favourite games are from the SNES. Chrono Trigger by far is my favourite. Others I love playing are the older Final Fantasy games (VI is the best), the Dragon Quest series, Tales of series, Star Ocean, Pokemon, Legend of Zelda, Mario, Megaman, the Mana series and I have miscellaneous ones that are great. Currently I'm playing, Final Fantasy IV DS (played and beat SNES and Advanced versions), Pokemon, and I need to go back to Tales of Vesperia since it got neglected (I blame the evil secret missions).

    Well I've never played WoW but I am addicted to Dragons of Atlantis and Thirst of Night by Kabam and I play a lot of facebook games. I also have a Wii(with Wii fit!), a ps2, psp, and one of the gameboy thingies(but I only play Harry Potter Lego on it lol). So if that all counts then I'm a gamer too :D

    I gave up WoW after my I had a work from home job and a slow week and my family was out of town. At the end of the week..no joke pizza boxes and deliver wrappers all over and my family was like did you sit there all week...I was like yeah but I leveled 20 levels....

    LOL - i gave up gaming shortly after and now I don't have a computer powerfull enough to run Diablo III and no consoles. However, I am thinking of getting back into it all becuase I think I can control it this time LOL I used to really like playing stronghold...i wish I could get a castle building / defense game like that on a android tablet

    Man I use to game all the time....most the consol based. God of war, assassins creed, metal gear, Final Fantasy, skyrim. Rpgs use to consume a lot of time. Now I barely get to play any new games. I don't want to get started on them because I know I be playing for a few hours. I work the from 245p-1115p and work any where between 11a and 1p so i always force myself to sleep early so that I can get up. I have the new batman, brand new and unopened waiting for me to play it. I need to get back in to my games.

    if you understand and know my suffering, add me please

    Hey, I dunno if I'd call myself a "gamer" quite yet - I've only just recently got a hold of a PS 3 - but I've just finished Arkham Asylum, and am half-way through Assassin's Creed 2. Also just recently got L.A. Noire and Arkham City (so excited to get my hands on Harley's Revenge!). Looking into perhaps getting Skyrim too, once I've got through some of the ones I already have. I've also been playing quite a bit of Pokemon on DS (Black and Soul Silver), and the law student in me absolutely loves Phoenix Wright :D

    Feel free to add me, I don't have too many friends on here yet >.<

    FPS only player here. CoD, from the first version years ago to the latest MW3. Can't wait for the newest BlackOps this November. My Best Buy is already taking pre-orders. Seriously six months in advance?

    Don't play as much as I used to because my 11 year old is on the computer as much as I would be, so I have to share the time. I can't play shooters on a console - old school keyboard and mouse dude.

    Only things I can play on the Xbox are sports games and car racing. Cannot shoot to save my life with a controller.

    Some D&D....just not on the computer.... Sadly, the social aspect tends to be attached to specific foods that have not been part of my diet since I left my teens (a really long time ago.)

    We're breaking the kids in this summer, though, so perhaps D&D will become a "veggies and dip with water" game instead of "root beer, pepperoni pizza and nutterbutters" game....

    I've played WoW off and on since the beginning. On hiatus until MoP at the moment. Too obsessed with Skyrim right now to pay attention to WoW, lol. Sick of drama, too. I grew up on Atari, my first love...I have a tattoo of the Atari symbol, lol. I've been gaming as long as I can remember.

    We used to play a ton of D&D and Vampire, but no one seems to have the time anymore. I actually got to meet Gary Gygax a few years before he died (dh played some 1st ed with him, we've got the map they drew signed by Gary and framed with a pic of dh and some friends with him). He was hilarious and awesome.

    I love table top stuff like Catan, too. Not as much time for gaming these days with all the kids (we have 4) but we manage :)

    <---- guilty as charged. I LOVE Lord of the Rings Online. In fact, my mom wants to be able to come watch my sister and I when we play concerts in game, so we created her an account; but I have to level her char up cause she doesn't want to do all the work. LOL. Anywho! Add me if you'd like.

    Yay! More Gamers!

    We have a Wii and 2 xboxes. I mostly play shooters, I like to run & gun. You can find me on MW3 at the moment.

    Kinect games are fun and I enjoy a little Animal Crossing on the Wii every now and again.

    Hubby was always into gaming. When I met him, he was playing on a Commodore64 and he introduced me to Phantasie- what a high when I beat that game LOL. I recall dabbling in the original A Bard's Tale and Wasteland too.

    My first online game I got into was the original Diablo (thinking about giving Diablo III a try atm). Then the true addition . . . EVERQUEST. played for 10+ years on Veeshan, which merged to Luclin. Main character was a bard, but also played my druid and cleric a bit as well. I really miss those 70 person raids!

    Moved onto LOTRO a couple of years ago, but havnet played it actively for a few months. A minstrel was my calling in MiddleEarth.
    I'm actually irritated with Turbine cuz I need to downgrade my account from VIP to FTP but there is no option to do that from the account screen anymore . . . grrrrrr

    It's actually incredibly simple:

    Go to myaccount.turbine.com

    Log in, and click the "Cancel Subscription" link under subscription plan. It'll automatically downgrade you to Premium (the F2P version for people who have been VIP).

    I used to do pnp DnD games back in high school, and then found the internet in college and Mucks and the like (got addicted) and ha dto leave college for a bit.

    I stayed far far far away from WoW, I'd be like South Park, living in the basement, that type of game would be too addicitive for me.

    My Husband got be into video games on the PS2 Baulders Gate, Champions of Norath and the like....

    Then he bought Dragon Age for the Playstation. I sat and finished that game all the way through in one sitting.....talk about sleep deprived. Loved it, and had to go on a work trip the same day I finished the game (thank you long airplane flight to sleep on!) so bought a PC copy for my laptop.

    Since DA I've gone through the ME series, Witcher, Kingdom of amalur. I also love the Civ games. I bought a new laptop last year just for gaming.

    But, the fiasco that was ME3 cured me of my 2 year addiction to video games, and suddenly I find time on my hands! So, I thought, goo time to lose what I let gaming help me put on.

    We have Xbox kinnect, Wii (I LOVE the Rabbids games), a PS3, and my laptop.

    Gamer here!

    Played Final Fantasy XI, Everquest I and II, World of Warcraft, Lineage I and II for a while! Did some endgame stuff with own guilds in both Final Fantasy XI and World of Warcraft, but currently only playing Final Fantasy XIV and Diablo III. Waiting for Guild Wars 2 to be released!

    Years ago I was pretty hardcore, especially during my World of Warcraft time, but now I am just a casual enjoying the game instead of stressing to get boss X down as soon as possible! Way more fun!

    Just started up Final Fantasy VII yesterday for old times sake :D

    I'm so thrilled I'm not the only gamer out there! I've been playing WoW for almost three years now. Now that I'm bound and determined to get healthy again, I reward myself with a raid after a good workout week :)

    Sometimes I miss the crazy raids in WoW! Good old times haha! Raiding after a nice workout week should feel nice! I do not allow myself to login to Final Fantasy XIV on days that I did not stay below my goals. Thank god it did not happen so far (yet).

    I've been a lifelong gamer. I have a ps3, but haven't really played much lately for a few reasons. One being I cant really afford any games and there really isn't any games I feel compelled to buy at the moment. Resident Evil 6 is the one game I am definitely looking forward to getting. The last game I put serious time into was Skyrim a while back. I clocked like 85 hrs into it in a weeks time. But I love the old school games, have a bunch of the old consoles. NES, SNES, Sega, 64, PSOne, Atari. If you're playing old nintendo consoles you can never go wrong with a Zelda game. Especially Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask. But I have also followed games like Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, and Metal Gear Solid since their beginnings.
