Tomb Raider is great, I have them all. I like the Harry Potter games too, I'll play them if I have Summer Vacation. I have much, much more games, but I don't know them all. Need for Speed, Age of Empires, Lord of the Rings,...

I think Tomb Raider3 and above were very disappointing :( .And HP:The prizoner of Azkaban is dangerously short

Draw, read, cook, clean, go out and have a life - yeah it takes skills :lol:

I dont do everything everyday. I play 1 game for many months, I watch an episode or two of anime per week. I mix things up. ^-^ If u dont overdo things its fun!!

Lol, I have only one advice to VGame players - never ever ever play online role playing games. After seing what that done to couple of people I know, I decided that its a very bad addiction. It literally ruined their lives :o seriously. Those were guys though, may be its different for girls. :grin:

Haha, I got addicted to playing Gunbound at one time...until I got rather sick and tired of the numerous bad online players. (they insult new players and players who played badly)
Hey, it's just a game...not as if your whole life depends on it. (It's not an oxygen tank) So I stop playing and ta-da...I am back to my normal routine of surfing net whenever I'm free. Hmmm, I suppose that doesn't make anything different :lol:

Oh one super duper big problem with me...I tend to stop playing a game even though I am half way through it...I guess I lost interest but a few months later my interest comes back and I have to start all over again :-?

choki, keep your savegames :D ...Mint, I know an Ultim geek who tried to"enlighten" me but I got repulsed by the slow pace of the game.Newer online rpgs are better-guild wars and WoW will be much faster and still more complicated

Well, this one guy that I knew from college became so addicted to the game, that he played it nonstop every moment that he could. He started doing pretty bad in school, lost his girlfriend and his life revolved around the video game. He recovered but of course he waisted like a year or two of his life, u know?

Some people online that I know tell me that they spend most of their free time playing online game (FFXII) instead of going outside and hanging out with their friends (like the only friends they have are online friends).

My husband told me that at his work he has a group of Online Game Addicts (lol) who during lunch talk JUST about the online video games they play. (nothing else, ever) o_o

Oh I know what u mean CHoki. I was playing this game ".hack//outbreak" and I stopped on this extremely difficult part and switched to another game. Now I can't restart it cause I forgot all the little tricks of winning battles and its a very hard game X_x (those enemies come at u from nowhere XD )

Yeah, there is an anime events of which take place before the game.
There are novels (not manga, but like books) that start the Hack story, then there is an anime series that continues it, then there are 4 games and OVAs that take place at the same time, and then there is manga/anime (with chibi characters ^^) after all that.

>_< lol, thats a lot of stuff <_<'

Yesterday I came back home and started playing FFX-2, next thing I know it was time to go to sleep o_o!!! >_<!!!! WHaaaa, but I only completed 1 mission!! Oh well, no game today ^^

Did u know that FFX-2 is also real time battles? This game is sooo fast, I chose the "wait" option and i chose "slow" in configurations and I still dont have enough time to figure out what Im suppose to be doing. So enemies just whack all my characters away XD Im too old for this >.< lol.

You've only just started X-2? Well enjoy it. I still consider it as one of my best fictional experiences along side the Harry Potter books and Star Wars movies. :-)

I have played through Black and White abut 4 times, the game is so cool and the graphics are very good for a game this old, cus it's art, and games like Far Cry won't ever be so beatiful because they may be hyper-mega realistic but they have no style.
And besides, Black and White 2 wil break new grounds in AI(artifficial intelligence)
