    City of Heroes/Villians, coming up on 5 years.
    DDO - not so much any more

    Tabletop - D&D, Shadowrun, home systems - when we can get a [non-teeny bopper] group together (which is really tough in our current town).

    I've played Warhammer, WoW, Lotro, AoC, Rift - also waiting for SWTOR. I got a ergonomic mouse that hopefully will allow me to keep up even though I'm on the computer for extended hours since I'm a designer.

    Yeah, I played for about 2.5 years. About a year and a half into it I started raiding. I likely won't go back. I logged on a couple weeks ago to try to get a friend's email address and it just didn't feel the same...

    Check out my shirt in my profile pic.
    Played WoW until I had my little guy. I miss it. Still friends with everyone in my guild.

    'Rock out with your 'lock' out'
    That was actually my all warlock pvp team name :)

    Just got dead island and tore into it tonight on the ps3. Gotta say I loved it. The styles a lot of fun, and it doesn't feel as pressure filled as a lot of other zombie games. :) id deff reccomend it.

    It's a shame Dead Island got such flack from the press, it turned me off. But I've seen many more positive things from actual players in the last couple weeks I might have to check it out.

    I used to be a huge WoW addict but I've stopped playing MMOs because I'm too addictive to them. With solo games there is an eventual "end".

    I tend towards action, RPGs, and FPSs now. I never play multiplayer, just solo or co-op with the boyfriend. :)
  • Just stopped playing WoW because my PC couldn't handle the raid instances. Now I'm playing Minecraft and patiently waiting on Diablo 3...I better exercise now while the gettin's good lol

    No....I'm a gamer...but I HATE MMO's.

    But I DO LOVE RPG's. Grew up on Final Fantasy.

    Going through Homefront now, just finished up Mafia II, and also going through the New Vegas DLC's.

    ME TOO lol
    except the FPS
    FF is AMAZING..mafia II was pree gud and new vegas is awesum
    i love me some fable though lol
    and some racing
    psh we will jus say i like almost errything except i really dont play online :P

    I remember Fable....great game!! I don't have a console anymore so all my gaming is done on PC...just finished Homefront...scary scenario....possibly going to start Dead Island...not sure though.

    Hey people :D

    I use to play PC games but the hours of sitting on my butt started adding to the hours is sit on my butt at work :(

    2 of my favorite things is my Play-station 3 and my treadmill, I use to get home from work and play PS till my fiancee got home.
    Then it changed to jumping on the treadmill till he gets home. I really missed my gaming as that is the only time slot i have available so I tried doing both at the same time.
    Not a very good idea while playing Fallout New Vegas I lost my footing and fell off my treadmill, im ok :)
    Now we have a Wii

    Have been working out everyday of the week for the passed 2 weeks and feel great.

    I think it got such bad press because they expected something a little different, and instead of appericaing how good it was they were dissapointed that their expectations were not met. Just my opinion though!

    At the very least, rent it. No reason to spend 60 bucks on something you don't know you'll like. [Though I'm betting you'll enjoy it. I'm a picky gamer and I'm lovin' it.]

    Count me in WoW - Broken, I mean Burning Legion. HORDE FTW! Insidius Guild.
    Though, if it were not for PvP, I would have quit...the game is too easy now.

    I play wow and I would say it CONTRIBUTED to my weight gain but i can still raid and lose weight, I just have to plan a little more. We used to get home, hop online, raid until 10pm and then eat a huge bag of taco bell becuase that was the only thing open.

    Now I make sure we have dinner available in advance and that's a big difference. The new SW game looks nice but I'm already so invested in WoW....

    Also someone else mentioned exercising as much as they raid -- I do that. I exercise more than I raid now. I raid 6 hours a week and I exercise an hour every day. It didn't cut into my raid time, it cut into my screwing-around-doing-not-much time.

    Also dead island should be fine in a few more weeks/months. Most of the bad press was because they screwed up the release really bad - accidentally released a dev version on steam and then the other versions were SUPER buggy on release. It just wasn't ready to go to market. Once they get it patched up it should be good for most people.

    I used to play RPGs like CRAZY but for some reason I just can't get into them anymore. Maybe its because the new FF's have all been..not soooooo great? Didn't even try the last one. How was it?

    Ok I got you all beat! I play cs:s... I am actually in a clan and am one ofthe higher ranking officers. I met my husband in this clan and we have been married for 5 years now. (although he plays many other games) at our wedding (members drove hundreds of miles to attend) we actually had a Terrorist and Counter Terrorist and a flash bang from the Steam store on our ring bearers pillow as our own personal joke.

    All our children (from my previous marriage) play too!

    The family that games together stays together!

    OMG...the late night taco bell runs were epic. We'd all be on vent talking about the cheesy goodness of taco bell and mountain dew baja blast until about 20mins later we'd all leave and come back for PVP after raid...mouths filled with taco bell LOL.
  • My Husband and I used to play WoW but it did start getting a bit too much (mainly because my hubs is an incredibly addictive person and I felt like if I wanted to ask him anything I had to bloomin type in the game rather than being able to speak when he was sat right next to me lol!!)

    We both like the Resi games (didn't really get into the last one as much) and looking forward to Dead Island.

    I LOVE adventure/RPGs too - I don't know if anyone ever played the Discworld games or Monkey Island/Broken sword, but a lot of my teenage (&adult!) years were spent cursing the stupid solutions to some of those puzzles lol.
    I recently played Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper, and although it was quite lengthy I really enjoyed it!

    My sister and I play a lot of the adventure style hidden object games, mainly scary ones if we can! Just played F.A.C.E.S which wasn't bad... They have to have a plot and other puzzles to complete though; I can't stand just randomly clicking to find objects!

    I also like 'softer' type Wii games and Playstation; Mario, Zelda etc... I can remember playing the Sonic the Hedgehog games when I was younger and having to sit up for hours trying to complete them because you couldn't save your progress!!

    Just waiting for virtual reality when I actually have to run to get the bloomin characters to move... then I'd be super skinny!
    I know there's some stuff like that already, but we're not quite there yet!

    I used to heavily play FFXI. I quit 3 years ago cuz health wise it was killing me. No excercise, sitting on my butt eating and playing. I still play games but no where near as much as I used to. From 9-14 hrs. a day to now 2 hrs. 3-4x a week.
  • Why do I not see any Starcraft 2? Well, that's my game of choice for now.

    I play WoW, but I hate Brewfest so I won't be logging on for a couple weeks. Also a big fan of Lego Batman on the XBox 360 (revisiting an old game).

    Have been known to enjoy the old fashioned board games and pen and paper RPGs. Currently playing Dark Heresy.
  • Starcraft II FTW
