QOTD January 24, 2013 - Are you a "gamer"?

[Dalylah]

Lots of people play console games like XBox or PS3, online games like World of Warcraft or Guild Wars, cell phone games like Temple Run or Minecraft, board games like Monopoly or Life, FPS games like Call of Duty, etc. for entertainment and/or relaxation. So fess up, are you a gamer? If so, what game(s) do you play? If not, why not?

I play World of Warcraft online, Monopoly and card games with my kids, and have this strange compulsion to play Plants vs Zombies on my phone quite often.

ofc! Used to play WoW, I have an 85 hunter and a 60ish neglected mage class thingie! Horde FTW! But I got bored after 85(before the pandas were introduced), I hate pvp cuz it's just a dick measuring contest and people gets annoying on pvp...

I have a bunch of neglected games on my steam account, but I finished Portal 1 and 2! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I like shooters, but I SUCK at them /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> badly! Spray & pray is my motto XD And that doesn't work all that well. 

I don't have a console, but the bf has several, I gave him a restored NES for his bday and he loved it. I tried playing the 1st Zelda game and got bored quick...cuz I realized it would take me soooo long to play through it and I would neglect my blog and eating an showering...lmao

I've played several MMOS, but always kept on going back to Rappelz(free mmo that got ruined now cuz the devs are greedy!). 

I played Ragnarok Online and love it, cuz it was so cute, I had a 95 dancer, so close to rebirth, but I stopped playing D:

I tried some of the Perfect World games and got super bored with them.

I played Aika for a short period of time and then the devs made the server north america only I think and I couldn't play it anymore D: 

I tried Mapple Leaf and thought it was lame...

I tried playing Amnesia and needed a change of diapers so I can't play that nooo no way! I scream like a baby playing that game. 

Sorry about the long list XD

After having kids, I'm playing a lot less.

But I do like RPGs and sim games a lot.  Right now I'm on an old point-and-click game kick. 

I like board games a lot - euro games mainly.

Don't really play too many games on my phone or tablet because it seems like so many are time management.  I like the tower defense stuff though.

I played Ultima Online religiously for 5 years, WoW didnt keep my interest for very long and I played Eve for awhile. These days, I tend to gravitate more towards coop games like Shadows over Camelot or Arkham's Horror. Card games like Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples and all the versions of Fluxx are my all time faves as well. 

I still like to do the weekend buster games as well like Twilight Imperiam too.

I play the FPS games on PS3. (Call of Duty)

I play Skyrim sometimes. Beat the main quest so it's not as enticing anymore. Lol

I love the game Mad Gab! I rule at phonetics.

I used to play Sega GameGear. Yeah, I know... super old-school. I still have it with all the accessories + 86 games. Now I just play games on my i5 like Jet Pack Joyride and Temple Run. The typical scroll type games.

I like games, and as a kid, I used to be all over them. Fast forward to  today, I have my eyes on some games, but I don't devote all my time to them anymore. Example.... one game I have wanted, "Ninokuni" for PS3, just came out a day or two ago. I bought it, but still haven't touched it yet. I really want to though. An RPG by Studio Ghibli and Level 5? Kay.

I could do practically any kind of game except sports, FPS, sandbox, fighters, racing.... and such. All those bore me. ):

I used to be a pretty hardcore online gamer (not so much anymore). I played Ultima Online, then Shadowbane, then World of Warcraft where I got a legendary mace (mine was world's 9th? I believe) and a couple Gladiator titles on my NE Priest. Yeah yeah NE Priest, how girly! Actually that used to be the most OP combo back in Vanilla WoW when you could mind control people off the cliffs without getting out of shadowmeld, that was before the battlegrounds existed.. They fixed it since then and my character became just a classic chick pick /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Most of my WoW time was spend in the USA's most competitive battlegroup - BG9, on Tichondrius server. I quit a long time ago, right before they released the Cataclysm expansion.

From offline games I think I've played most of the "game of the year" releases such as the Fallout series, The Elder Scrolls series (Oblivion, Morrowind, Skyrim), Mass Effect series, Sims series, Dragon Age series, Deus Ex series, Heroes of Might and Magic series and many many others.

I also enjoy classic board games and we often play them with my family. Our current favorites include Settlers of Catan, Agricola and Puerto Rico.

Ultima Online is my favorite game of all time!  I wish more MMOs would have the variety that UO did.  I think the latest Final Fantasy online was on to something, it just needed a lot more work.

Arkham Horror is a fav here too.
