I don't really play MMRPG, nor have any interest, but one I found based on somebody's discussion in the chatroom is call Flash Flash Revolution at flashflashrevolution.com and is basically like Dance Dance Revolution except you use the keyboard.  It really helps you with rhythm.  When I get the money (soon), I'm going to get the stuff to play DDR at home for exercise, but first I need a bed.

Melissa, I could only play DDR by myself inside a room with no windows.

The MMORPGs sound incredible, but there's a few problems: 1. I've got a Mac   2. It's a high-end multimedia workstation, not really meant to be used for games anyways.

My PS2 will do until I can get my hands on a PS3 and FF12 & Silent Hill 5. Then no one will hear from me ever again.

EDIT: Oops, just noticed the game you mentioned was Mac compatible, Kendra. Must....resist... game...

I play D&D, like an enormous nerd.
... Yes, the tabletop game.

... But my diet doesn't consist of cheetos, I'm not 400 lbs, and I <i>have</i> touched a boobie.

Just to clarify, you know it has to be someone else's boobie to count, don't you?

LOL!  I was thinking the same thing.

Not so much online really.

But over the last two months I have found I really LOVE racing games on the XBox 360
Specifically:
Project Gotham Racing
Test Drive Unlimited

The only problem is I really tend to loose my cool and get REALLY frustrated and angry.
It's like, all that anger and frustration that sits right below the surface just comes out.

It just makes me realize all that much more that I REALLY shouldn't have testosterone flowing through me.

I'm addicted to Forza. There are a couple threads where I mention that driving is a semi-erotic, passionate, sensual experience for me - and Forza is the only game I've played which can recreate those sensations at times. Take an NSX around the Nürburgring Ring... get it into a rythym... and oh my... lol...

But I only have the original Xbox. Pout.

That's what Halo(2) is for! Whenever I start getting *really* frustrated with all this... it's time to go huntin' Covenant. Or better yet... my friends

Hmmm, curiously though, I haven't touched Halo in months. Forza, yes... but the kill-everything-that-moves games.. not so much

Quotethe kill-everything-that-moves games

I've never really liked those genre of games personally.

I've never liked Doom or Half-Life and whatnot, but Halo is different. I'd NEVER played a modern console game before Halo, so the mystery of the story, the tease of trying to get to the next level to see what happens next (and the cut scenes)... was addicting. The scenery and environments are also amazing to explore. I never had any interest in these games before, but my friend convinced my wife to get it for me for my birthday. I hooked it up on a thursday night, played until 4am, muddled through work on friday... and didn't sleep or eat until sunday, I was just so LOST in it. I actually cried when I finally got to the ending cut-scene, just in appreciation for how *amazing* the whole thing is, the pride and workmanship and creativity that went into creating it.

Truth be told, there's a certain artistry in trying to perfect the technique of getting past the enemy. Curiously, after spending hours and dozens of lives trying to fight my way through them, I often find I can just run PAST them, no fighting, no shots fired.

There's a metaphor in there somewhere, lol...

Oh my gosh, I totally used to be that way.  The HRT helped with that so much.  I hated getting so angry.  It made everyone around me miserable and nothing good came from it.  I still like racing games though.

  Does anyone play "Second Life"?  I realize it's not technically a game but I just got into it and it pretty neat. 

  Basically you create your personal avatar and live a second life virtually in a new world.  You can shop virtually or for real and lots cool stuff.  The learning curve for all the basic stuff is a bit technical for me but even I'm figuring it out LOL.  It's free to play unless you buy a premium membership which comes with being able to buy land and build a house and some other features I'm not really into.  I just like the idea of mingling with people from all over the Earth in this cyber world.   

  Anyone interested in just do a search on "Second Life" and you will find thier site....

Well, yeah, in that case I've touched many a pair of boobies.
How about flat man-boobies, they count too?

Yes Brandi, I have a SL account, but I have logged on once in almost a year.  I used to really enjoy it though.  In the last 6-9 months SL has really gone downhill.  Constant Grid outages, very bad server-side lag, texture delays, etc...

I'll try and log on tonight and say hi.

My name is Jessica Robertson there.

I noticed the problems you mentioned....I was hoping it was a temporary issue.  I hope they get it fixed because it's pretty neat...my name in game is WynterSkye Gray.
