But here's probably my most shameful secret....

I play Madden. :oops:
OH NO!!!! Actually, I will play it too. I dont buy it every year. Actually I wont buy it unless there is a huge improvement over the last version I have. Usually only happens once or twice a generation of systems. I last bought Madden 08 for Wii, i got it when it game out for like half off at Toys R Us.
Actually, this gen, the NHL series has been pure fun. I have NHL 08 for PS3, and still play it every once in a while. 09 wasnt enough of an improvement to upgrade though.

Here are my confessions:
1 - I love playing games on "failed consoles," or the non-popular ones such as 32x, 3DO, TG-16 and Saturn more than and of the mainstream consoles.
2 - I played OoT for about 4 minutes and shut it off. And never turned it back on.
3 - I like playing games on consoles over emulators because I am addicted to save-state cheating.
4 - SNES is the least played and least favorite system I own.. And the games if dont have already that I am interested in are few and far between.
5 - Never played a FF game for more than a minute.
6 - I dont see the appeal of games that have turn based combat.

1. I too like "failed" and obscure systems. My 32X is the crown jewel of my collection at the moment.

2. I have purchased about 100 games in the last 6-7 months and only gotten around to playing about 10 of them.

3. I buy WAY too many games on impulse at Vintage Stock.

4. I have a tendency to buy games that are big names whether or not I like the genre/game.

5. I've never played a Final Fantasy game.

6. I don't really like many shmups, they all seem the same to me

7. I detest games that make me read and/or remember too much. I usually play in spurts and the chances of me remembering what I was supposed to be doing is too much work (I'm looking at you Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

8. I will waste HOURS on any "Sandbox" game just messing around crashing vehicles and whatnot and never actually start any missions.

9. My most embarrassing... I will often look up cheats for a new game before I've even played it. I'm sure this has ruined many a gaming experience for me though.

10. A game with fun/strange cheats has more re-playability to me than most games. Games involving super-weapons and/or low-gravity cheats are high on this list.

I don't know how much of that is shame, but oh well...

1. I also have this weird tendency to lean towards failed consoles or games. I like playing games on Sega CD and 32X...

2. I've never beaten or played through a Mario game ever. Although I plan to fix this as soon as I get my NES/SNES/N64 Collection off the ground.

3. See 2 except replace Mario with Zelda.

4. I think Marvel vs Capcom 2 is the worst VS Series game Capcom made. A lot of people are going to want to kill me for saying that.

5. I've never played through Shenmue.

6. The only Pre Symphony of the Night Castlevania game I ever played was Rondo of Blood, and that was on the PSP.

7. I think Metroid Prime 1 and 2 are dull.

8. I really like Myst, most people think this game is boring but I always thought it was really immersive and fun.

9. I liked Street Fighter EX 1 and 2, most people think they are crap but they are actually good fighting games. They are especially very beginner friendly.

10. I think Final Fantasy X-2 is fun, and it was the last FF Game I ever liked.

11. I've not played through Okami, and I've owned it since it came out for PS2.

12. I like Fallout 3 but I hate Oblivion, does anyone else understand this? Especially when most people will mindlessly say "It's the same game. Are you retarded?"

1. I use to pause Power Stone as a little kid when I was in the hot chicks special just to see the things come out of her nipples.

2. I never actually beat Zelda - Ocarina of Time (even thought its my favorite game...)

3. I would marry Tifa if she was real.

4. I hate pretty much all new sporting games

5. I DESPISE RACING GAMES... I THINK THEIR STUPID

6. I hate with a passion flying simulation games.... Such as Ace **bleeping** Combat

7. I laughed when Aeris got stabbed! (Sephiroth was so badass... and I hated that she tryed to steal Cloud from Tifa)

8. Me and my friend want to start a porn business where its all cosplay from video games and anime... who wouldnt want to see their favorite Final Fantasy characters or anime characters having sex? Id pay for it if it was real.

A. Lordofduct worked for a porn site. He will likely strongly urge you to give up this dream.

B. It already exists. Trust me.

I don't know, but I've noticed a few folks have dropped off the face of the planet. He's probably just busy with a job or something, and he'll be back after a little while.

Now my question for you...where has REPOMan gone? I ask because I think it vanished after its film was released, only furthering my suspicion that it was the most well-designed spam bot I have ever seen.

:lol:

Also Hisoka_Ryodan you hate 2 of my favorite genres. Racing and flight combat sims. Its okay though, cause those genres are pretty bleh to most people anyway.
