Who are our Gamers? What are you currently playing?

mrkennethjay

With work and fitness i've switched from being a hardcore gamer to a casual gamer.
Just picked up Dead Island and Payday: The Heist from the Steam sale.

Are you a gamer?
What console?
What are you playing now?

StarCraft II on my computer. Yeah I'm slow, I know it is old but I don't have much time so I haven't finished yet. I'm also still working on Assassin's Creed II on the PS3.

Dead Island was pretty fun! I'm an avid gamer, although kinda in limbo waiting for new games... Fitness has started to eat into my gaming time too, not that it's a bad thing.

I have all consoles, but by FAR prefer gaming on PC.

Playing Diablo 3, Mount and Blade: Warband, Tribes: Ascend, and a bunch of time wasting games at the moment.

Just got an ok vid card for my PC so the Steam Summer Sale is slowly draining my bank acct. So far the games I am playing are Orcs Must Die, Shogun 2, Half Life, Half Life 2, Shank 2, Fallout Vegas.

On the 360 the games I am playing are too numerous to count =P

I don't understand why people need to give up gaming for fitness :P It's the snacking while playing that does you in, and gaming was one of the few times when I never used to eat... anyway, currently;

World of Warcraft (raiding)
Skyrim
Pokemon White
Diablo III
SSX (Xbox 360)

and in eager anticipation of Halo 4, Mists of Pandaria, Pokemon Black and White II, Borderlands 2 and the Skyrim DLC for PC.

(1) Yes I am a gamer
(2) Any console

Right Now currently working on Diablo 3 Nightmare, I will be playing Fallout Vegas next and then Borderlands 2!! Yaaay! My Xbox is currently broken so I'm searching for a new one to fit my hard drive. If I don't end up getting an Xbox soon I'll work on torchlight and Portal 1 and 2 (I know I know, get on it) haha.

McBully4

mrkennethjay

When i play Diablo 3 i set a goal that for every hour i play i have to go AFK and go 25 sit ups, 25 push ups and 25 pull ups.

Desterknee

Diablo 3, Star Wars the Old Republic, Skyrim, Mass Effect 3 (insanity), Super Mario 3D Land

I always go back to my SNES games too

I don't understand why people need to give up gaming for fitness :P

For me it wasn't the snacking. It was the sitting on my *kitten* for 10 hours at a time haha

I'm trying to start gaming while I ride my stationary bike. Trying. I have been gaming less tho just to get out more.

It's more that I used to game every waking moment that wasn't otherwise occupied by work or the essentials of life. Long term WoW raider, not going back any more though.

mrkennethjay

I agree. For me it was just balancing my time. Between Work, Gym, Cleaning, Cooking and a social life, My gaming time went down to about less than 6 hours a day.

I work third shift so mon my off nights Sun-Tuesday i might squeeze in a couple of hours on Blacklight Retribution or Diablo 3, but my 12 hour gaming sessions of SWTOR and WOW are over.

Anybody thinking about picking up Guild Wars 2 ?

KukuDan

Forza 4, I only have about 20 hours on this in 4 weeks. But that is probably more than I have played any game since Christmas. My wife and kids all enjoy the kinnect and kick my *kitten* at carnival.

Currently playing Bulletstorm on my 360.. Very fun game

Female gamers win. World of Warcraft was my vise from a few weeks after release until about four months ago. I averaged 7 hours a day in the game on weekdays, 14/day on weekends. I was so addicted.

I was:
A healing priest raider from Molten Core onward. (Loot the core hound, macro to /yell where the shards are in SSC, endless TK mount runs in which I only saw the ashes drop twice (OMG...) get out of the defile etc.)

Alt leveler(12 level 85s across 3 servers, 40+ characters leveled to 80 or higher, deleted multiple max level and early raid geared characters for a second chance at leveling them more efficiently...)

Guild materials farmer(blizzard froze my account for three days claiming it wasn't humanly possible for someone to farm herbs over a 29 hour period of time like I did -- I only slept 6 hours of that, the rest was farming -- and didn't sell a single one of those flowers -- all of them went to my inscriptionist to make decks for guildmates. I successfully completed 7 trinkets for guildmates that weekend and my guild master called blizzard to give them crap about banning my account when I was doing something to help the guild. I offered to do the farming in game in guild chat to the GM, updating hourly to her how I was doing, and spent the entire time talking in guild chat to everyone online, including screenshots that were posted to our guild website... I ended up with a week of free game time.

Guild achievement junkie(in competition with someone who would PvP and raid on the same character. The only thing I never enjoyed in WoW was PvP (exception being a guild premade to stand behind and heal so I could pretend it was a regular raid. Hated PvP otherwise!!).

I met every boyfriend I had in that game. I moved across the country for one of them and dumped him a year later after he quit playing and I didn't want to. I met some of the most interesting and amazing people ever through that game and broke in my passport meeting up with guild mates.

I imagine I'd still be playing if not for the fact that all of my closest friends, including my guild master, quit playing a year ago, made promises to return and never did. That and my classes at college started taking a lot out of me and I needed to prioritize them or risk not completing my degree.

After I quit playing, I realized I had a ton of time on my hands, disliked how I looked, decided to get healthier and found MFP. Now the closest thing I get to gaming is playing Diablo 3 at my mom's house for an hour or two a week, and Wii Fit. I simply reorganized my priorities and found that I didn't have time for world of warcrack anymore. I was just too addicted to be able to cut down to less hours of play rather than just quit.

PC only, last console I owned was a PS2.
I played World of Warcraft for over 5 years on and off, realized that when I don't spend 7+ hours a day playing it everything else is better.
Right now I'm playing random stuff I buy during the steam sale. So far portal 1&2 and Alice Madness Returns. I'm waiting for guild wars 2.

I've been in a gaming funk lately after SWTOR kinda tanked. Haven't bought Diablo 3 cuz I'm broke, so have been passing time with the games I got from the Humble Bundle. Mostly a PC gamer here, but I do enjoy those lovely Mario games

Does Guild Wars 2 look promising? I would love another great MMORPG.

I used to be a hard core gamer. From the original release of Everquest for 5 years to WoW for another 4-5 years with other games in between. I have dabbled in Aion and Star Wars recently. I just don't want to commit the time anymore; raiding was fun but ate up all my time. However, I am looking forward to the new Assassin's Creed Xbox is so much easier to walk away from!

Talmquist0222

Skyrim (ps3), Dungeon defenders (xbox, pc, and ps3), The sims (all of them on anything), New Vegas, Any Assassins Creed game (ps3), GTA (ps3) , Saints Row the Third (ps3), but mostly I play World of Warcraft

Yes, I'm a gamer. I'm not at the console every second of my life, but I play with my cousin for hours when I do.
I use my xbox 360. I'm currently playing Call Of Duty: Black Ops & Dance Central. But, I also play a bunch of other Call Of Duties that are my cousin's since my cousin got me addicted to them. I hope to get Left 4 Dead 2 since I heard it's an amazing game. (:
