Embarrassing Gamer Confessions

Yep, easily. Basically put all my free time into it from 2001 to 2007.

In that time I did my GCSEs, A Levels, and Uni. :)

That game has plenty of people who played more than that.

Requesting screen cap of stats page (I assume there is one for you to know the number of hours) for sheer awesomeness
 
I never liked Final Fantasy either, I tried to play one of them but I thought it was awful :o. I actually really enjoyed Viva Pinata, it was the first game I got when I bought my 360, I played it in the shop before I got my Xbox :/

10,000 hours is all it takes to master something according to scientists.

some guy is testing it with golf , I think he's on year 6 and doing pretty well.

20,000 hours wasted when you could have became a pro at something :p

Yeah it has that. Peeps in this game change name a lot, and names get binned if they're inactive for a while. But I've got a few to hand..

There's being pro, then there's being pro-er than everyone else :)

Been trying to get my wife to do this for ages, is there any trick to getting them to do this? She's got the boots but no further progress. Unfortunately dumping isn't available as an option.

Alas it will cost you financially and morally.

You have to buy the Lara outfit, then you have to buy another slinky number and a hotel room in a nice long weekend hotel by the coast.

Good luck.

p.s

Its worth it.
 
I ran up a 500-700 pound phone bill ( i forget the exact cost ) playing quake 3 and phantasy star online on my dreamcast.

I also sat hunched over on the floor using a mosue and keyboard cause i didn't have a desk at the time which i think has given me some back problems :P

I regret nothing.

Oh i also have a annoying habit on starting again in rpgs if i die once this includes mmo's hate to think how many hours i have wasted by doing this.

My BT Home Highway had two separate connections - so we ran two PCs off of it, back in the day :D

Also, the barbarian woman was Maria Whittaker - she had a strip poker game in the late 80s....hehehehe :D

Yup my Home Highway also had 2 separate connections.
 
Awww i remember my home highway connection :)

You could also combine the 2 lines for a single 128k connection :)

Was awesome :)

I used to play a 'World at War' Facebook game where you had to have energy to do actions. I made a 2nd Facebook account called 'Pedro Pablo' and used to gift myself energy back and forth all day.

Now comes the sad bit... He only has 1 friend... Me. So when it's his birthday I write on his wall and wish him a Happy Birthday! It's the same date as my birthday... As a result I also login to his account and write on my own wall wishing myself Happy Birthday.

Sad right...

I did this once, but I still use the account.

It was first used as a fake profile for my favourite football player, so I could put my relationship as married with him. When he left it became a game account, and now it just sits there. I use it for competitions and stuff though.

Got a few stuff, but not really embarrassing.

- I have all the HL series, but I can't get into HL1. I think its the most boring, useless, annoying piece of crap I have ever played. 10 minutes feel like an hour. I have tried...A LOT, but I can't. People told me to jump over to HL2, but I don't want to jump to number 2 without doing number 1.

- Never played FInal Fantasy, although I never heard they were particularly good.

- I liked Max Payne 3 and GTA IV. Not sure what is wrong with those, but some people seem to thing its embarassing :confused:

- I play too much FM. Not crazy amounts like some people. I have periods of total addiction (mostly 1/2 weeks) but then it gets back to normal. Didn't overly effect my grades. The time I failed my 6th form wasn't really down to games/FM, it was a small part of it.

Nothing embarrassing really. Don't think I ever turned down an attempt to go out to play a game. If I did, you can count them on one hand. And even then, they were not important outings, just the standard chilling in a bar
 
I played the original Monkey Island on my Amiga so much it got to the point where I could finish it in less than 3 hours... fast forward nearly 20 years and I can almost still do it (smidge over 3 hours I think).

Never played a Final Fantasy game and probably never will.
