Welcome to Gaia! ::

DAMN IT! I got logged out b/c I hadn't posted in awhile, I HATE when it does that.

Ok, so shorter...Yea I definitely wouldn't do that. The only game I follow cult obsessively is Crash, but even if it continues onto the PS3 I still would need more of an interest than that one game to buy another system, even an advancement of a system I already own. But yea I've watched people played Zelda, but haven't ever played myself.

Oh I understand there are and I'm vaguely familiar with some, and most games have an adventure sequence that's designed solo. I'm just saying PS does not make very many social games in itself. It is not a social system. First, you have to buy extra parts to even have more than 2 players, and given that most games aren't even designed for more than 2, most are pretty much one player. Or they are trade off games that might as well be one player. Most of my friends growing up wouldn't let me play/didn't want to play the Nintendo whenever I was over (not true of my friend with the Sega, so I will always have a soft spot for Genesis, low level technology as it may be - I mean hey, my intro to gaming was Atari). I watched sometimes, but in the end it just seemed kind of meh. I didn't get the nostalgia card as a child and I wasn't going to get into Nintendo in HS/college, by then it was too late. It'd have to be spectacular at that point and it's not. You can blame my selfish friends for me not liking Nintendo very much razz . Besides, being a solo player - whose mainly into racing and puzzle games, PS is the preferable system. It makes better solo racing games and some pretty complex and spectacular puzzle games. What I look for in an adventure game Sony does a rather marvelous job with.

I prefer no objectives, I have too many stressors and objectives in my day to day life as it is. It's nice to just game randomly. It's not how I like my books, but it is how I like my games sometimes.

It happens to be annoyingly frequently, which is why I try to either remember to c/p everything or not get distracted from individual posts. At least on Firefox I can just hit back and my writing is still saved, but not on IE, which I'm using again because that's what's on the loaner. I get my laptop back Saturday though. It was done Monday, of course within 2 hours of getting to Davis for a week I get a call that my computer (90 miles away at home) is finally done *sighs*.

Well, like I said, I almost never had people to game with, so I preferred a system that had games that really catered to being alone. I did really insanely love Mario Party when it came out, I barely got to play, my neighbor rarely wanted to play, but yea. I like those games, I just have minimal opportunities for them. Most of my friends aren't gamers, and most of those who are play solo.

I mean, back then my friends just weren't really into video games half the time, they weren't trying to be mean. They just never wanted to play. They were very much the once they had it they didn't want to use it anymore people, they'd rather play with the box. Which I love, they are creative talented people, but still that left me without games. The people I watched play weren't usually my friends, but the sons of my babysitter or friend's siblings - the one sibling who'd play with me was the family with the Genesis, hence my soft spot for that. Their mom always thought I was "so nice" playing with her little brother, like at this one party all the girls were doing girly things and I just went out to the shed and played Sega with Todd. I wasn't being nice, I wanted to game!

I'm very obsessive compulsive, but if there's nothing to order, there's nothing to worry about. I can make up my own OCD rather than having to abide to a set one, like in reality. See if I can't get 100% that would drive me mad, so it'd be easier to have 100% not exist, if it doesn't exist, I can never fail, and I can never go mad...^_^

It doesn't? I haven't used Firefox in like a month, though I will more often now that I've gotten my computer back, I hope that isn't just a change they made. I like how it saved me. I haven't been c/ping tonight b/c I'm assuming it'll save me!! *panics*

Well, my computer restarted itself while I was in the other room, and it still saved my text on restart - I think, maybe I published everything already and it just saved pages. *panics* *c/ps everything*

I've only played the first one but I loved it.

Well they play with it for a little bit and then get bored. Especially those who weren't good at games and could never beat them anyhow.

That's the fun thing about OCD, it comes in many different outfits ^_~.

Good to know, I'll be careful, because I recently updated as soon as I got back as well, so I am perhaps also in trouble.

It depends on the game for me. I mean as I rarely get to play most games, especially multiplayer games, I rarely get bored of them. Other games I'll get bored with, sometimes because they are too easy (or too hard, and I'm just stuck/lost/confused and sitting there frustrated), other times because I just can't focus on one thing for such an extended period. Particularly video games. I like to multitask, my brain likes to run in a million different directions at once, and often that requires a bit of flexibility with my hands. If I'm chained to a machine I can't do that.

Ah, I'm not easily absorbed into one thing, the only occasional exception is usually a book. My mind is always floating off and away, sometimes it makes me feel creative, other times I feel useless. It's a curse and a blessing...maybe...sorta...no not really. Haha, man I am SO sleepy. I think I'm going to go nap before dealing with the rest of the threads I missed last night. At least any thread that requires me to read more than a sentence anyhow razz .

I can think about more than one thing at once, I think that's why I'm like that. It made friends mad (jealous) in school. In my Ancient Near East history class, which I really liked, I'd do my Greek homework half the time, glance at my friends notes later. When we studied for the ANE final together I started spouting off things beyond the notes, explanations of the notes that one could not have the time to write down. And my English best friend would be annoyed and say "you didn't even take notes that day!" and I was like, "I know, I just remember he said it...because I was thinking blah blah blah." So yea, it's not like one thing pulls me out of the other, I really can think about multiple things at once (one usually at a higher level than the other of course) in relatively good detail for both. Which I guess is what makes me more inclined to things that allow me to really do multiple things at once, have multiple thoughts at once, be distracted by different visuals.

Since commenting on, whatever thread you just sent me the anime munters video I have bought and am now again listening to I Can't Decide by Scissor Sisters *huggles it*. Yup, I bought it on I AM STEVE JOBS GIVE ME YOUR SOUL Tunes xd .

Anyhow...

Ah, see my memorization is excellent, so I think that's why an excessive amount of focus bores me. I GET it already, move on! Haha rofl

I can't decide whether you should live or die...
