AWKWARD ZOMBIE

The spambots are evolving. Eh, to hell with it.

I think my game would be Super Mario 64. I am an absolute perfectionist, so I had to get EVERY SINGLE FUCKING STAR in the game and I loved. it.

TWEWY helped me regain my social life after I alieneted myself from other people to get THOSE FUCKING PINS

spore taught me to never hope

Sim City

Final Fantasy VII demonstrated to me that a game could not only have a deep and immersive story, but fun gameplay as well. This was my main foray back into gaming after a childhood of SNES Pilotwings (only one in the family who beat it, including the helicopter bombing level) and Super Mario All-Stars.

A short time after FFVII was beaten, a feat I've only replicated on X (because it was so piss easy) I picked up The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. The second game on my list. It completely shattered my concept of what was possible in games. To me, linear progression was not only standard was mandatory. You were told where to go, advanced the plot to unlock new things, and so on until you reached the end.

Morrowind took me, had me make a character, then dropped me into a massive world and said have fun. I could go anywhere at any time, limited only by my capabilities. I could do any quest I liked without ever needing to set foot in the main plotline. I could do anything I wanted to any NPC, like killing them if they rustled me off. This led to fleeing Vivec after an Ordinator called me scum and I killed him before taking his armor. Then I talked to another Ordinator while wearing it. That was another thing about Morrowind were the consequences. In other games you couldn't screw things up too badly because you needed it to complete the game. In Morrowind I could make it so setting foot in the capitol city was greeted with a stampede of raging guards because of one mistake. The only major downside to that was not having a high enough strength to carry all their armor.

I would probably have to say...Crystal version. I had never played a game that much before. hink I clocked in near 400 hours. Mainly, cause I had no clue what to do when I was 8

WoW told me I don't really like MMOs all that much

Oh god, I would have to say the pokenmon games were what taught me that everything else in life could be avoided to get more pokenmon so it easier to get even more pokenmon until you win.

Then you make a new save and catch untill you have best pokenmon and backtrack to get the rare ones you missed and evolve the tough ones(fuck you feebass) and use 80 ultra bawls to get the fucking best pokenmon in the world(fuck me Rayquaza).

Then after you catch every one and level them up each past 80 you fight you friends who suck booty cause they "have a life" and play soccer or some shit, so their pokennmon are like lvl -17 and barely beat the elite four.

So they get a little pussie booty action replay or gameshark and get max stats on their team 6 shiny charizards who are ghost/dark with guillotine and hypnosis.

You then realize how much people suck and how awesome pokenmon are. So you decide to get everysingleoneofthem
but you cant on just one game(fuck you events). So you go for the next best thing SHINY BEST POKENMON EVER

the result of 2 whole weeks of nothing but soft reseting/over 8000 total used ultra balls/shitting/ and eating.
worth it.
Then the same derpshitty friend "acidentaly" gets in a jealous rage and resets it all kills your lvl 100 shiny god.
WHY AM I RANTING!!?

Anyway it was pokenmon emerald.

The Sims taught me how to get into relationships with women

Banjo Kazooie :3


I love that bear's stupid laugh, the humor, and how dark the second one was.


Everything about the game makes me nostaljizz

professor layton helped me realize that doing my math homework wasn't a total waste of time

Donkey Kong Country taught me most problems can be solved by throwing a barrel.

But in all seriousness I love that game forever because it was one of the few that I got to play with my parents. 'Course they kind of beat most of it since I was around...six, but all the same it was great fun. Donkey Kong Country 2 is right up there as well since that was the first game I took on all on my own without any adults helping me beat levels I got stuck on.

Still...I don't recall if I ever did finish that game... I spent all my time on those daisies roller coaster levels because they were so much fun.

Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, and sadly WoW.

Zelda taught me nerdery, and that if playing an instrument doesn't summon your ride you're clearly not epic enough, or didn't get the music notes down.

Pokemon taught me I have a collection problem. Ihadtocatchthemalldamnit.

WoW reminded me I have a gaming addiction. I learned from WoW all the need-to-know moves for all essential MMO classes (healing, taking hits, and delivering hits). It also taught me to always be that one guy that everyone relies on to kick and save equal amounts of booty because most of the time, there is at least one guy who will mess up, and if you don't know yourself that well you'll be taken down with him too.

All games taught me an equal amount of rage, but WoW taught me ten times the bitterness from actual social interaction with people I either didn't like, heavily disliked, or liked until I realized how fake they were.

Ya know, Fable 1-3 also taught me how to start relationships with women...

Final Fantasies X and IX (in that order) I first played Final Fantasy X when I was 11. I played for 14 straight hours without so much as looking up! It was so immersive! Then when the game was finally over I was all AAH I'M THINKING AND FEELING AGAIN I DON'T WANT TO BE AWAYYY

daisies IT THEY TOOK ME OUT OF THE GAME JUST AS SOON AS SPIRA GOT TO BE GOOD WHYYYYYYYYY

Ehm. Sorry.

Anyway, my dad and I used to play loads of computer games together when I was a kid, so that's how I got started. My favorites were Civilization II and Tomb Raider II. Is it just me or is Lara Croft rather . . . flammable?

And then there was the summer I got Pokemon Red....ah, memories.

Oh yeah, I played Asheron's Call when I was 9. I kept SAYING I was 9 too so all the other people probably thought I was some kind of freaky troll.

Games are awesome. ^0^
