    I used to be a serious MMO gamer for around 6 years but it seems like I haven't played many of them in the last few years.
    I played World of Warcraft on a progressive raid team. We raided 4 nights a week 4-5 hour sessions. I then played around 8-10 hours a day 6-7 days a week to keep up with the amount of gold the hubby and I needed at that pace.
    Honestly, I have to admit it was one of the best times of my life because we really kicked some serious butt! People say its a "game" but damn, there is a lot of strategy and skill that goes into it. It would take hours reading up on bosses and watching videos....
    Spending that much time with the same people for years is pretty big too.
    I have met almost all of the raid team in real life on several occasions. The team had an "annual BBQ" here in Maine so everyone could come from around the country and meet. Amazing stuff!
    I started playing SWTOR and I think I played that half way to max level but I'm not a huge fan. Most of my gamer buddies went there so I felt like I should try it.
    The new expansion of WoW is coming out, I think I will probably play that and see if I can get back into it. Just not 8 hours a day like last time :)

    I also play Wii games and Xbox games but its usually just things like Mario...haha

    Playing Skyrim on the xbox 360 while waiting for Borderlands 2. Halo 4 and Assassin's Creed 3 high on preorder list but really can't wait for BL2.

    Played Mass effect 3 Multi for a while but got bored. Skyrim is quite impressing me and I'm really enjoying it, feels like Fallout 3 with swords :)

    I'm currently working my way through Resident Evil 4 on PS2. Next up will most likely be a re-play of RE2.

    I've been working a summer job, and with all the kids' activities I haven't had much time for gaming (plus I'm trying to get my library's adult reading program finished). I finished the second Walking Dead episode yesterday. Other than I've mostly been playing Skyrim, but I haven't touched that for a month, yikes! Looking forward to GenCon next month.

    Summer and my motorcycle takes precedence. Guild Wars assisting guildies get the 30 points for the Hall of Monuments. And playing in the Beta for GW2 which has enough action for even the most sated action junkie, lol. Every freaking big event is a crazy free for all. Love the new game mechanic and the persistent world, a bit tired of everything being instanced though I was just starting to play mmo's when I started GW and it was a great intro.

    PS3 gamer here.

    Currently playing:
    MLB: The Show 12
    Dragon's Dogma
    Skyrim
    Mass Effect 3
  • Gamer since there've been games - started on Atari (oh crap, when was that?)... man, I loved that blocky, pixelated fantasy game, and the tank game, and even Pong, for cripes sake. Then a friend got a commodore 64, and there was this 'tail gunner' type of game. Then the text-only adventure games "you see a wall, do you go e, w, n, s".

    So, anywho: platforms currently in the house and still working: PS3 (gets the most use), Xbox 360, Wii, first gen Xbox, 3DS, DS Lite (x2), a few PCs/laptops

    Games - way too long to list them all, but...

    Newer games we're playing (me and my son):
    - Lego Batman 2 (with Justice League) - PS3
    - SSX on PS3
    - Minecraft (on my phone)
    - Transformers battle for cybertron (PS3)
    - DC Universe Online (PS3) (I have 1 level 30 guy, but Jax keeps making up new guys he gets bored with by level 10)
    - Monster Hunter Tri (Wii)

    Games we've finished multiple times
    - All the Halo games (can't wait for fall!)
    - All the Assassin's Creed games (also can't wait for fall)
    - Arkham City
    - Arkham Asylum (me only)
    - MW: Black Ops (me only)
    - MW2
    - Metal Gear Solid 4
    - Pretty much every DragonBall Z game out there (all plaftforms)
    - Pretty much every Naruto game (all platforms)

    A few others from across the years:
    - Matrix online
    - City of Heroes
    - Pretty much every other MMORPG out there - I get really bored with these, because they're essentially all raids and you have to have 900 other people with you, join a guild, and if you're not into the social side (I'm not), then it's <yawn>. I'm also not into PVP stuff - I'm much rather kill the computer any day. What I really want is a dynamic world that isn't built on the premise of *having* to be in a guild/league/whatever, that is challenging but not impossible for solo players or even small groups. But so far, they all just get boring after a few levels because it's more of the same, over and over. Just get stale so fast.
    - Gears of War

    There are more that I'm forgetting. Basically, I'm a 10yo with an adult's salary... not always a good thing...

    I've given up WoW until a time when I can control myself and not spend all day on it. It has been replaced by Zombies, Run! which is a healthy alternative.

    I have platinum trophies on my PS3 for both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. I also have 100% completion, 100% rainbows and all trophies for Pixel Junk Monsters, both islands, because I have an epic, red beard and I'm cool like that. Oh and I one-hit killed Alduin on Skyrim with my Nord. I liked the Mass Effect series too, but never played the first one. It came out right after my xbox took a dump and I never bothered replacing it.

    I'm currently playing Skyrim on the 360. I don't play as much as I'd like, cause I have to play under cover of darkness when the kids (I have 3 and 2/3...my wife's due in October) go to sleep...it's hard to preach non-violence then giggle when you behead a bandit and marvel at the geyser of blood from his neck.

    Add me...I'm obviously a people person.

    Right now I am really into Diablo 3 and loving it!! I also squeeze in some time for World of Warcraft, but not as much as I used too (I started playing WoW in 2004). My husband and I have also been getting some good laughs playing Minecraft on Xbox.

    My four year old has finally mastered the xbox controller (being able to move a character and the camera at the same time was his struggle, lol.) So I mostly play Toy Story 3 right now, lol. :laugh: (or Elmo's Once upon a Monster on the kinect, which is a least a little bit of a work out for me!) :wink:

    I'm a gamer! I'm a PS3 and Nintendo 3ds person. Currently replaying LA Noire after finishing my 3rd play through our dragon age origins. I haven't yet dared to play skyrim as I hear it's a total life sink!

    Lol'd at life sink. Confirmed. It is. Say goodbye to your friends and family for a while before you tackle that one. The hardest part about that game is remembering that you have to take breaks to pee, go to work, etc.
