I grew up with video games, I played the original final fantasy, all the original Mario games, and video games are so much of my life that it is my career. I am in college right now learning how to program games ^.^

brainnsoup If it's okay with everyone, I moved this thread to the spa. Unless we're talking about how religion and video games interfere with one another, then just PM me. 3nodding
On-topic, I love them. <3
The reasons why are probably some that someone who wasn't raised on them wouldn't understand.
But I love it. I love mastering a game. I love escaping into a new world through a new character. And I love the geeky, sometimes elitist counter-culture that revolves around them.
My only complaint is that it seems that my old N64 games are more fun than any new game I've played. And granted, a lot of that is probably because of nostalgia. But I also think that back in the day games had to have something to them other than looking pretty and they really had to be creative to create a compelling world that would draw gamers in. I feel that new games seem to look pretty and everything else feels flat, with a few exceptions. Also, it's become a very expensive hobby. Sorry about that -_- . That's where I meant to put it. It's obvious it doesn't belong with religion .

brainnsoup xxEternallyBluexx brainnsoup xxEternallyBluexx Itachi_Hare I play videogames, don't really have a favorite because it always changes with my mood. Right this second probably Kingdom Hearts 2 or FF genre... I have to disagree with them being a waste of time because they can teach you many things depending on the genre, they help your reflexes and improve your abilities to solve problems. Of course as earlier mentioned this all depends on the genre. I used to suck at them long ago. But i am one of those weirdos that likes to do stuff I can't do to try to get better (though I am still average for the most part at videogames)... I love KH! Though at the moment I'm kinda video game deprived... xp I'm not sure how good I am video games, I just like playing them (too bad all I have right now is a DS and a non-functional PS2 XP ).
Even though it's on the DS, it's honestly one of my favorite games ever. Possibly second only to the Zelda series. And all of us we will endure
Just like we always have
My birthday's in a month (I'm turning 18 blaugh ), so I'll get it then.
And total agreement on everything you said, except that I was a bit young when N64 was popular. Truth be told I think I played more Sage then Nintendo at that point.
But you just can't be too sure How long this will last
TWEWY's Official Site
GameSpot Written Review
IGN Video Review
I absolutely love this game, and I look forward to sequels, even though Square Enix has a tendency to ruin its series with sequels.
It's a really unique experience that completely draws you in.
Also, you're only a year younger than me and N64 dominates my memories of my elementary school years. I was all about Donkey Kong 64, Paper Mario, and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. I was a little too young for Ocarina of Time...
A lot of Zelda fans can't stand Majora's Mask, but I love it...I think I was in Middle School -_- . I guess you just have to research more to find good games that are entertaining.

rmcdra brainnsoup Conker's Bad Furday... Was that the M-rated one with the sexy squirrel on the cover? XD I remember seeing it at blockbuster but not being able to get it because I was too young.
On top of the ones I mentioned, we had Kirby 64, Pokemon Stadium, Pokemon Snap, Hey You Pikachu (complete garbage), and Super Mario 64. I wasn't a fan of Mario Galaxy, but I didn't get that far into it. I was too young to get very far into either Zelda game when I was a kid, but I got most of the way through OoT (never actually beat it) and beat MM as a teenager. It's ridiculous how much easier TP is than either of the N64 games. I still loved it though and am waiting for the one that is supposed to come out at the end of the year. I never got into Wind Waker, but I'm told it's good. I hated Phantom Hourglass.
I never had a PS2 so I missed out on a lot of great games. I have played Kingdom Hearts, but I didn't get far enough to get into it. Because I didn't have a PS2 I missed out on a lot of the Final Fantasy games. I did genuinely like Crystal Cronicles for GC though, I was a preteen when that came out, but I hate what they've done to the series...
And like I said, I LOVE TWEWY. Square Enix stuff is hit or miss with me. I'm not sure what my opinion is on the new Final Fantasy that comes out soon. Rare re-made Conker's bad furday for the XBox but they censored some things in it like the "Great Mighty Poo" song. My only complaint about Mario Galaxy is that it was too short and a little on the easy side though adding Luigi with his quirks in the "second quest" made it a nice twist. Yes oddly enough TP was easier that OoT and MM. I liked Wind Waker. Phantom Hourglass was alright. Storyline seemed a too little "forced" for my liking. Yeah Square-Enix is pretty hit and miss. Though Enix before it's merger really had some unique games to say the least. Illusion of Gaia (might be before your time) was a great game. I suck at games even the easy Mario Galaxy. My brother yells at me while I'm playing because I die so much.

I'm not really into video games. I will play them on occasion. I think my favourite game is Spyro!

It all depends, really...
When I'm in a fantasy mood, FFX or KH 1 or 2 helps.
When I want an RPG, Persona 3 or 4 is pretty awesome.
and when it comes to a shooting game, I can't help but orgasm to a game of Left4Dead 2. cool
All games defer depending on my mood and what genre I want to play, and what I want in a message. Games DO have a meaning, considering it's like an art. Some games are just about saying
"Let's make some money"
and some games are just about sending a deep message to people like in the OLD Final Fantasy games, the ones before eleven.
P.S. I suggest Shadow of the Colossus for the PS2 to those who haven't played it.

I've been a gamer since the time I could walk. whee
Some of my favorites are the Tekken, Bloody Roar, LoZ, and DDR series, but no one can resist Mario games! Throughout my life, I've had an NES, SNES, N64, all the Gameboys, a Gamecube, a PS2, and a Wii. Most of those I've had to share with my brothers, but the PS2 is my baby.

Captain_Shinzo I'm not much of a fighting game fan but a little Mortal Combat or Street Fighter never hurt anyone. :3 I'm addicted to SNK. If you like the earlier Street Fighters you might like King of Fighters. ... could kick your a** !!
