Aquarius Sun ,Aquarius Ascendant, and Taurus Moon. Im a huge fan of the Legend of Zelda series. No other games even come close for me. I guess its because I'm picky about the music and no other game's music even touches Zelda's. IP: Logged |

Once I gave a MMORPG a shot, it was Tibia (my cousin persuaded me). It bore me to death. I know it's old and stuff but I'm not sure if I would enjoy even never games of this type. quote: I guess its because I'm picky about the music and no other game's music even touches Zelda's.

I love 80s music too.. But... It doesn't count as a video game soundtrack because its not unique to that game. You can listen to 80s music anywhere. IP: Logged |

They were cheap (around 1.5$) and where i live - we could barter a cassette +30 cents for a new one. I kept doing that for almost a year till there were no more games to play/finish. After that - i moved to Super Nintendo, i could rent cassettes for this one - so i did the same (tried to finish all the games i could rent). And all in the nick of time, cause shortly after - PlayStation was released! The graphics on the PS games - were a refreshing touch compared to its predecessors (kinda like moving from Atari 2600 to SuperNintedo). At that time (back in 1995), was quite astonished with what it had to offer - both in terms of graphics and game play. Got hooked to PS - till i found my way around PC's (the Precious!). Haha!

I never really got into video games (I did give them a try), not unless you count a Ms. Pacman I used to play back when I used a laundromat.  I've absolutely loved role playing games, and Live Action Role Playing, but it was all about story which needed a lot of detail for me to get interested (I wanted to feel I'd stepped into a real place filled with history, social trends, fashion, slang peculiar to the setting, traditions, factions, etc). I was what many called a "story teller" and I saw it as us creating an interactive story together. A few got annoyed with me because I refused to use meta-game thinking (at least in a direct way), I'd even do something that wasn't that smart because that's what my character would do (and not act on information I knew but my character could not possibly know), and a few others even made a little fun of me for the details I'd put into my characters. OTOH, I've been invited to games to help people "get into the story" more (and I rarely disappoint) and I seem to think of things that don't occur to players who can't think of the story as anything other than stats and scores (for example, to know how trustworthy someone is I suggest finding his wife or other family where it never occurred to the others that such a person had any existence beyond a brief note on paper, and in a cyberpunk game I came up with a way to infiltrate a high security facility by focusing on those who knew the details of it, passcodes, and our team could get to and lean on, something they'd never thought to do in years of playing). While Dungeons & Dragons wasn't my favorite setting (though it was a lot of fun), I did greatly enjoy Planescape for the philosophy and also Forgotten Realms for the history woven in (enough that I took to studying real history and philosophy). On a related note I've enjoyed costume parties and used to go all out for Halloween. If I ever go on a zombie walk I plan to go all out for that, too. (Too bad I missed out on cosplaying when I was younger.) In sex games where I win and get to choose whatever I want I often gone with some sort of roleplaying (preferably with clothing or costume to match), though there are no specific scenerios I have a preference for, other than variety so something doesn't get boring. And back when I was part of a group of pranksters my favorite pranks were those that required a little dressing up and acting on my part. Perhaps had my life been a little different I'd have gotten into acting (but then it would be a job and no longer fun ). Leo Asc. Libra Sun (Scorpio cusp), stellium 5H Sag moon, stellium IP: Logged |

I'll add that I do keep having an urge to try out American McGee's Alice and have a YT list of several vids for it (I love dark, twisted fairy tales). I've asked about some details I saw and the possibly symbolism behind them of those who have played and been disappointed that they didn't really know...but maybe they weren't looking for such subtle details as I would as they're more about the game/crunch while I'm more about the story/fluff.IP: Logged |

If you ever want to get back into shooters, I def. recommend you give Titanfall a try (I am assuming you are a PC gamer.) Its made by the original producers of Call of Duty (Respawn Entertainment) and its just loads of fun . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWUfOQp0FQk Unlike many of the traditional shooters, this game is Multiplayer exclusive (abiet not on the same sophistication level as Battlefield.) However, its just loads of fun .

Virgo Sun Aqu Moon Libra AscFave games (on Steam) are Left 4 Dead 2 (First person shooter game with online co-op), Elder Scrolls Skyrim (looking forward to Elder Scrolls Online in April), and whatever is the latest thing I fancy and have downloaded. lol I like puzzle-solving and logic type games too, like Portal 2. I also am periodically into Sims 3 (and 2) when I'm in a building.designing or storytelling mood. I love the artistic and building side of games and often marvel at the worlds developers have created. I guess that's the Libra Asc. Virgo probably accounts for the earthy, practical building side, and Aquarius the logic. IP: Logged |

Oh man I totally forgot about Final Fantasy! I used to own FFX and I played it *constantly* I wish I had more money to buy video games, its kind of an expensive hobby, especially if a game you really want is on a system you dont own IP: Logged |

I see that a lot of people placed a few games from the GTA series as their fav. I am not going to lie, as far as game mechanics and game play goes, its a great game. I just don't like the theme of the game. Then again, Rockstar is a game developer that is known to expolit shock factor to sell their games. And how could I forget about Portal! I love that game series! A puzzle solving oriented FPS! Who wouldn't like that?! IP: Logged |

Are you a PC exclusive Gamer or do you have both an amped up PC and Next Gen. Consoles? If you have the Xbox One, you should get Titanfall for it. That way, I can invite you in for an online Team match. IP: Logged |
