Confess your gaming sins...

I took advantage of naive RuneScape players in the early days by buying rune essence at under market price and just flogging on at a mark up. Made so much gold it should have been criminal. It got to the point where I had regular people I used, that I would message them over MSN Messenger bossing them to get on and mine for me!
You sicken me :D:D

Well it's not really hacking but I can admit I've used an aimbot in games before. Sometimes you just want to take your stress out on other players.

I've also taken my fair share of 'full demos' from the internet in my time. Just been stung too often buying games I didn't enjoy. It's OK nowadays with steam refunds. Didn't used to be able to do that.
 
Once or twice a week if we're not doing anything else, usually at the weekend, I like to have a few beers whilst playing a game.

Every so often I'll have more then a few and end up having a very hazy memory of the last hour or so of the gaming session and little idea what's happened in the game. "So... how did I end up here again?" "What am I supposed to be doing?" "Did I finish that quest I was working on?"

I've got every Steam achievement for Half-Life 2. Took me 60hrs. :D

I've got every Steam achievement for Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2 remastered :o and a further 29 games... I am way too much of a completionist to the point it ruins my enjoyment of games sometimes, so have tried to dial it back a bit. I'll be constantly googling during rpg games to see if I have missed any items and end up ruining the immersion and spoiling the story for myself.

I'm glad it's not just me. A few years back after a few pints in the pub, came home and got the urge for a bit of a gaming session. Decided a bit of racing was in order and played Simbin Race 07 online. During one race I misjudged a bend and took out an individual, who at the time, operated a very popular public server. Even though I was relatively experienced and a fair racer, the guy in a fit of pique gave me a life time ban and posted the replay to YouTube for posterity!? I apologised and explained it was a genuine mistake, it did not wash - permabanned. :(

Probably because most of us are old school. We had to rely on reputation and there was a community so being caught or though of as a cheater was not worth it. Unlike today of course where gaming is pretty much anonymous.
 
1. I've played 160 hours of DayZ Standalone and even back two years ago when it was bug central I still enjoyed it. Haven't played it for about 12 months, so I have no idea what its like now. I genuinely did like to just explore the map and take in the scenery even though I live not even two miles from a forest and large open expanse in real life anyway.

2. I get completely bored playing strategy games. The one that was just about bareable for me was Civ 5.

3. I also find Fallout 3 boring. Tried Fallout 4 on a free weekend as well and I felt just as bored.

4. I enjoy truck sim games. Put some music on and drive, can do it for hours. Potential future career ;)

5. I played a lot of Counter Strike Source through my mid-late teens and truth be known the only map I really ever played was CS_Office. *looks at stats* 26,391 rounds on Office and, wait for it... the next closest is 311 on Dust 2 (actually not sure whether to laugh or cry at this) :o

6. I have next to no interest in games that feature anything futuristic or sci-fi. Just cannot stand the stuff.

Apparently not :D

I bought a second CS:GO account and used hacks for a bit for the lols

I fly with an xbox controller in BF4 because I can't fly with the kb for absolute toff.

I played Witcher 3 for 10minutes before I got bored, super happy I didn't buy it.
 
I finished original Deus Ex 17 times.Nearly become Warren Spector.Still have original disk.
Also bought Daikatana.
At work played Doom 2 with 2 coworkers during work hours lots of time back in 90's
Same with Command & Conquer.
Once i played with friends NFS3 (cops and all) while having beer,neighbours asked me the other day why cops where at my place.
Broke some gamepads while playing :D
 
I let my 4 year old play online multiplayer battles in Star Wars Battlefront. Not so bad when it's a 40 player game as he can be carried but he preferred to play the Hero's game - seen a few comments expressing their dissatisfaction with his character...

Ahhh the good old days of the UKCS , 64 player, 24/7 Office Server.

Only showing 10,846 rounds myself, that's wrong though as I seem to remember my stats getting wiped a couple of times!
 
I really miss that server. Why did it close? CS:GO interest?
Not sure tbh, I remember finally breaking my addiction to the game and pulling myself out of it for several months. When I came back the server was like a ghost town, then the next time I checked it was gone.

Same as me. Shame. :/

I only really like playing on the larger servers (pref. 40 players or more) and trying to source one with maps I know is proving next to impossible.

I only really played CS up to 1.3 original version (though have dabbled briefly with CS:S and CS:GO), but I loved Office too and whilst I didn't know of a 24/7 Office server, I would contuniually drop in and out of games and use Gamespy to find current Office map games.

Potential "gaming sin" too: I was one of the apparently tiny minority who really liked 747 on CS. In fact I must have been the minority in general because my favourite maps (747, Oilrig, Estate, Highrise, Foption, Backalley, Siege) always seemed to be the ones dropped in the next update.
 
Backalley, Estate and Siege were awesome maps. Siege with the apc was hilarious. I once got it stuck in the tunnel lift!

De_747 was a good custom map, another funny one where if you shot out the doors players would get sucked outside. Never got boring watching a team mate fly out of the door after you shot it out!
