What game are you most addicted to at the moment?

[Neoma]

Boardgames, word games, video games, card games. Any game.

At the moment: On my iPhone it's Blackjack for me! Thankfully not at a casino, I've built up and lost $500,000 of fake money twice.

[PoliticAverse]

1. Next time you get to $500,000 in fake money stop! n/t

[Neoma]

2. But, but... I have to reach the millionaires club! :)

[onehandle]

3. I can't wait until Nintendo comes to their senses and makes games for iOS.

They are slowly dying.

I would gladly pay ten bucks to have Advance Wars on my iPhone.

[Agschmid]

[steve2470]

17. I keep toying with the idea of going back to WoW

If I go back, I need to buckle down and work to improve my basic fighting skills.

[Wait Wut]

29. Or...

...you could play like me. I solo on a PvP server and drive my guild crazy.

I'm getting too old to care about PvP, so I do a lot of farming.

[steve2470]

53. driving the guild crazy because you won't do dungeons with them ? nt

[Wait Wut]

54. I won't do anything with them.

And, yet, they promoted me 2 weeks ago.

[steve2470]

21. I bought a Wii console off teh Ebay last month

Mostly I got it so I can watch Netflix on my teevee. Just the same, I couldn't resist and downloaded the original Legend of Zelda. Playing it now, I can't believe I got through that whole game on my Super NES, in the 90's, with just the included map. Now, I keep 5 tabs on my browser open to Zelda Wikis, Dungeon maps, Enemy lists and Walkthroughs.

Eventually, I'll buy me some additional controllers so I can play the other versions of Zelda, namely my favorite: Ocarina of Time. Bes.t Game. EVAR.

As for my inherited iPad, these days I kill time with DOTS.

[OriginalGeek]

24. I'm patiently (sort of) waiting

for Nintendo to release a Wii U Zelda. Zelda and Mario Kart are really the only reasons I keep buying Nintendo systems. My TV gets netflix on its' own and we have a 360 and PS3 for all other games. I don;t need to keep multiple tans open to play Zelda though - I just keep my daughter nearby. She pretty much guides me though everything lol. To the point of occasionally just taking the controller from me because I'm so inept.

[blogslut]

32. Zelda's the only reason I used to buy new consoles

I've enjoyed the versions of Mario that I've played. I super loved playing the OG Tomb Raider. I got through the Super NES version of Final Fantasy, back in the day. But, I purchased both the N64 and the GameCube simply to play Zelda.

I didn't buy a Wii, not because I didn't want to. I love that, for a short while, Nintendo snuck back on top by creating the Motion Controller and reminding consumers that video games could be fun. I still don't own Twilight Princess, but I will, now. Just as soon as I get through OG Zelda.

Despite my description of numerous reference sites and mulitiple tabs open, I'm re-playing this game slowly. I play until I die and then I stop for the rest of the day. Maybe cause I'm old or maybe cause I want the thrill to last a little longer this time around.

[OriginalGeek]

41. I admire your patience and willpower!

I almost always start a game by poking and punching and jumping on every square millimeter of the screen to make sure I didn't miss a hidden treasure but I quickly tire of that and just blast my way through - and then get to the end and wish I had taken my time. I need to figure out a balance between rushing through and recognizing likely spots for loot.

The Zelda "open chest" ditty is so ingrained in my psyche I get goosebumps just hearing it. In fact, now that I think about it, I'm gonna see if there's a sound bite of Zelda sounds to use as ring tones on my phone...

edit~lol: http://noproblo.dayjo.org/ZeldaSounds/ that took all of 5 seconds...I already have some old school arcade game sounds for some phone events (like a text message gets the "intruder alert, intruder alert" robot voice from Berzerk.

46. If you have broadband,

here's a treat:

[hibbing]

44. Me too

Hey,
I love love love the Zelda games. Can't remember which one it was, but the one with the water tower was sooooooooooo much fun and so hard, and that weird mirror black knight that took me forever to kill. I got to the very end of the last one on the Wii, but gave up on trying to kill that giant catapillar thing at end I think. I may have to dig it out just to see how far I actually did get.

Peace

[blogslut]

47. Water Tower?

Majora's Mask, maybe? I love Majora's mask.

Still, need to get Twilight Princess. I'm so behind.

[hibbing]

48. I can't remember..

I think that was the one, I have played them all so I can't keep them straight. That one was the most beautiful game. I just loved the Zelda series, the combination of puzzles, various tools, crazy ways to move around and boss battles. I just can't get into any of these first person shooters.

Peace

[2theleft]

26. I never beat Zelda on the Wii...

And got so darn frustrated I gave up. It was my FAVORITE game on Nintendo. Maybe I need to pull it back out and try again...

[blogslut]

33. Well, I'm cheating this time around.

Like I described above. The internet is filled with guides and walkthroughs and maps and wikis.

Go for it. It's such a wonderful game, even 26 years after the fact.

[sharp_stick]

34. Way Back

in Super Nintendo time my mother drew maps of all the dungeons as she played Zelda (not sure which one anymore) so that she could remember how they went.

She kept the maps in a really nice binder and they were good. My girlfriend and her friends were addicted to the same game and they'd all come over to play on my console so they could use Mom's dungeon maps.

[blogslut]

39. What a great mom!

How cool for you!

[Chan790]

22. Skyrim.

Pretty much I've been consistently addicted to The Elder Scrolls series non-stop since the mid-1990s.

I haven't done much along these lines lately but I was once one of the best textural mod-critics and modders of Morrowind around. I still pull it out from time to time...but it's getting dated and I can't modify it any further to make it look more realistic or even as realistic as Skyrim. I think I've gotten my money's worth out of it though.

I've put my foot down...I'm not going to get ESO because I'd be so addicted I'd never work again.

[Neoma]

23. I put skyrim aside.

There was a time that my kid ran around in his underwear and I could figure out how to get clothes on that boy. Finally did, stupid glitch.

[jakeXT]

25. Zombie Highway ? nt

[2theleft]

27. Candy Crush, Candy Crush Connect (no stupid lives issues),

and I love Word Shaker.

Put my Wii away a while back. Need to pull it back out and try to finally tackle beating Zelda.

[Wait Wut]

28. Bioshock

I'm on my second run through.

Full disclosure: I've been playing WoW for about 6 years, off and on. I'm on a temporary hiatus, atm. My guild is probably wondering where I ranoffta.

[sharp_stick]

35. I loved Bioshock

When I first got it I was pretty much consumed, at least as much as a guy with three kids can be, all the time. I ignored emails, didn't watch TV. It had one of the best storylines I've ever seen as you play through.

I wound up playing it through three times to get the different endings.

[Sentath]

30. Prime World Defenders

It's inexpensive on Steam and really fun if you like tower defense style.

[we can do it]

31. Plants vs Zombies

[NuclearDem]

37. Doing a Female Shepard Sentinel play through of the Mass Effect series.

[mokawanis]

38. GTA 5

I know the game's criticized by lots of people, and for good reason, but I enjoy playing it. When I finish it I'll probably play it through a second time and then move on to another game.

[Dash87]

40. Fallout New Vegas, Minecraft, Kingdoms of Amalur

[NuclearDem]

42. Man, I've got such a love/hate relationship with FNV.

Extremely fun and indepth, but the bugs just make me want to smash things.

[Dash87]

45. Most of it is really dumb. It's like it was made by a 5 year old.

The Gamebryo engine is an outdated turd. The clipping issues are the worst. I still like it, though. It has fun elements despite being a buggy, spaghetti-coded mess. I felt the same about Skyrim.

[lastlib]

43. CHESS! Loved the game in high school, and recently taken it back up to some degree.

Although I was the champion of my high school for three years, I really wasn't all that good, and regularly got my butt handed to me by competent players. Found very few people to play after college, so I dropped it for about thirty years or so. Lately, I've gotten a few local kids interested in it, and have been teaching them a bit of what I know. It has rekindled my previous love for it, and I've found that I've developed into a better player as I've forced myself to be more analytical, relying less on stuff I more or less memorized almost forty years ago but have since forgotten to a great extent.

Still not really good, but I still love the game!

[Recursion]

49. Team Fortress 2

Great game.

[Vashta Nerada]

50. Skyrim

I download a mod that allows me to be High King and I love going around and giving orders to people. I'm the King Joffrey of Skyrim.

BTW, the mod allows one to turn NPCs into "non-essential," thus allowing one to kill NPCs, either by public execution, having the guards kill it, or doing it yourself.

[Neoma]

52. I have the PS3 version, can't do that.

[tavernier]

51. Politics

I much prefer something less stupid and violent.
