    World of Warcraft
    City of Heroes
    Aion
    I get Diablo 3 FREEEEEE when it comes out
    and many many other games I play on and off but right now

    WoW

    so yeah, trying to balance exp since Im a housewife after workouts/cleaning when hubbys at work I do pretty much a lot of movie watching / gaming.... used to be just gaming til I needed to get my butt back on track and get skinny like i was in my younger days =P

    I also play games on my wii from time to time when servers are down or do my zumba

    longest time ive played a MMO.... 8yrs thats city of heroes

    I gained almost 200lbs when I quit smoking 12yrs ago replacing that habit with junk food and fast food and yeah prolly sitting on my butt & gaming didn't help matters =P

    I was able to drop 156lbs in 19 months but gained some back when hubby & I sold our old house for a new one, but back on track now with 56lbs left, this year I am going to do it, feel free to add me :)

    Just warning I am honest if food diary's and advice I try my best to help everyone, ive lost 3 friends on MFP cause they asked for help then couldn't take the advice, so you want me as a friend (that goes for anyone) add me =D

    I've been playing "City of Heroes" since 2004, and just started playing "Star Wars The Old Republic". I occasionally play "City of Heroes" with my 6 year old, it's quality "Daddy/Daughter kick the snot out of bad guys time" ;)

    I'm addicted to LOTRO, and I also play Portal and Portal 2. Sometimes I play Little Big Planet, when I can wrench the PS3 from my son's hands. I have a WoW account but don't play anymore.

    The cake was real, it was the promise of cake that was a lie.

    Monkey Island - YES!!! "I'm Guybrush Threepwood, and I'm a mighty pirate!" Not too often you run into someone who's ever heard of MI!

    I'm more of a retro adventure gamer - Monkey Island, Discworld, Simon the Sorcerer, Broken Sword, Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango etc...

    I'll add :)

    I think Day of the Tentacle is awesome, first computer game I ever played!

    Yup, I don't buy every game out there to play and trade I just get obsessive about a certain few, GTA and Saints Row are the only games I'll pre-order though. Just played Portal a few years too late.

    I also love old tycoon games, like Sim Tower!

    I wish they'd integrate the community threads and forums into the app itself. It's not a huge effort to login with a browser but it would be pretty cool to not bother xD!

    I get Diablo 3 FREEEEEE when it comes out

    *gasp*

    I'm kind of jealous. (I would be more jealous, but I hate what Activision has done to Blizzard since the merge, and even D3 has Activision written all over it.)
    I used to raid pretty hardcore on WoW and climbed pretty high up in the european rankings for strict 10 man guild progress...then I got bored ;3

    Hah! I've been there, before. I'm a recovering WoW addict, too. :)

    Was in some of my server's top raiding guilds from all the way back in Vanilla. Got bored after killing Arthas and running through Icecrown ad nauseum in both 10 and 25. Played a little Cata, but didn't want to get sucked back into raiding, so got bored after I was able to say I had an 85.

    Now, I've been playing Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning, Magic: The Gathering (Duels of the Planeswalkers on Xbox, and screwing around with the regular cards), Dragon Age, Fable, Too Human, Dawn of War, Sins of a Solar Empire, and a variety of others.

    Feel free to add me.

    To everyone here:

    You might also like http://www.fitocracy.com/ . It makes exercise into a game. There's an MFP group on it, too (hopefully, we can get enough people pestering the admins of each site to support some kind of cross-site compatibility). I have some invites available, and you might be able to dig up some threads here or something of others with invites.

    Table top !! :heart: Hubby and I do that too from time to time with our geeky friends :wink:
    FF series you mean Final Fantasy right? :love:
    I own all of them but 11 and 13 and 14 (has to many bugs yet)


    We can be friends? :flowerforyou: :tongue:

    the cake is a lie.

    The cake is most certainly NOT a lie. It's just that SOME test subjects need to show a little bit more "up-an-at-'em" before they get their cake. Anyone who is not capable of meeting the required standards is sent to a nice, special, warm place.

    I'm new to MFP but Gaming and fitness have always gone hand in hand for me. I like 3rd person shooters/ RPGs, but anything addictive will do. As far as losing weight goes, so far the only thing that has worked for me is to ride my exercise bike while playing a game, and the minutes turn into hours so quickly. I've trained Kung Fu & Hatha Yoga, in the past, which are great for my spiritual well being, but nothing melts away the calories/ weight like just riding and playing the day away. (I'm not real big on bulking up so it's perfect for me)
    Good luck on Your Journey! :)

    I loved KOTOR! Is the monthly OR sub worth the game play for someone on a limited budget?

    As soon as I've got enough to get a house with my lady...I'm doing this! Sounds like an amazing idea :D! Welcome to MFP I've been doing it for a little while now but I'm new to the community ^_^!

    I was doing my bike when I play on my wii/ps2 and such but the problem with that my bike is ancient like almost 60 years old and yes it still works perfectly and nothing wrong with it no rust etc, I found it in hubbys storage room after we got married (feb14th2005) the only problem with it, seat HURTS I got a gel cover seat thing and it still HURTS to be on it for more than a hour.... :sad:

    I've not played it but my friends that have say it's great until you get towards the end game content. They say there's a lot of copy pasted content from earlier in the levelling process and it just feels rushed. I'd recommend playing something without a sub, there's plenty of brilliant RPGs out there and Mass Effect 3 is just around the corner. I don't know if you've played 1 & 2 but they are incredible :D!
