<p>A confession.</p>

<p>I used to consider myself a hardcore gamer, I would play mainly FPS shooters for 10 hours straight, head to a local lan party, and drink LOTS of energy drinks. The best was Bawls. Gaming mainly counterstrike was the only game I was actually impressive at. I would play daily until my parents became so furious to ban me from even touching the computer. I really enjoyed the complete ambiance of lan parties and the fact of just enjoying each others company. heh.</p>

<p>anyone else have a personal confession about their past? Or maybe even the present?</p>

<p>Lmfao. Such a confession it is...
.
I'm still a (semi) hardcore gamer, I guess. </p>

<p>Definitely: I used to be addicted to WoW. god, you play that like 15+ hours straight (not that I ever did this, most I played straight was 8~10ish), it's a killer.</p>

<p>Two more confessions: I still play tetris and pacman occasionally, and I freaking pwn at BOTH</p>

<p>I've named a stuffed animal after a Linux distro. I haven't touched Linux since February.</p>

<p>Also, I'm really good at NetHack. Like freakishly good.</p>

4

<p>I...don't game. I'm a girl; I play the Sims 2 and force people to be eaten alive by flies or get hit by meteorites. And I'm not a good person; I've tried to be, but I'm just not cut out for it. And I wish I'd been born a man.</p>

<p>I have to go; I left my Sims...on fire. :)</p>

5

<p>fiz, please tell me what exactly nethack is? I think I searched it in a cursory manner awhile back, is it supposed to be 2D? fill me in here.</p>

6

<p>It's a decent game.</p>

7

<p>I'm lazy, here's</a> a post about it :)</p>

<p>It's a really good roguelike game. ASCII graphics, insanely fun, older than I am. You can get it (free) at NetHack</a> 3.4.3: Home Page</p>

<p>karajanhra what do you mean by saying "I...don't game. I'm a girl; I play the Sims 2 and force people to be eaten alive by flies or get hit by meteorites. And I'm not a good person; I've tried to be, but I'm just not cut out for it. And I wish I'd been born a man."</p>

<p>Are you implying men are not good people? Why do you wish you were a man?</p>

<p>I used to be a hardcore gamer. I started off by being a victim of RuneScape. Now I have an idling account that I log in once in a while but it's really no fun.</p>

<p>I did 24 hour FPS marathons for Counter Strike and Battlefield 2, but those days are long gone.</p>

10

<p>LOL@Runescape! I remember when I started that in 8th grade and quit the FIRS T FIVE Minutes after I started. Lmao!</p>

<p>Ditto, last summer I did counter strike, starcraft, warcraft, maplestory (scarce), bf2, and Ps2 like rotating hours for 10 hours. </p>

<p>Now I'm trying to reduce my times a bit, because obviously...doesn't seem too wise.</p>

11

<p>^To collegehopeful: The OP said to give some confessions (although I seem to be the only one who took that as non-gaming-related confessions), so I did. That is all.</p>

12

<p>Because all the gamers seem to be here, and of course with all their hardcoreness; allow me to make the procrastination worse.</p>

<p>One of the best online games I have ever discovered. Be prepared to see your life go down the drain.</p>

13

<p>karajanhra ok but could you explain why you want to be a man? just wondering.</p>

14

<p>used to play a lot of bf2 in 9th and 10th that i became part of a pro-gaming team. got straight a's in 9th but got some b's in 10th :(</p>

<p>if only i could put that as my EC</p>

<p>Collegehopeful/bond78, why do you feel the need to post under two different usernames?</p>

16

<p>I was never really "hardcore" on the subject of video games for a lengthy amount of time. However, with the Metal Gear Solid games, I did not hesitate to play 6+ hours a day. Other than that, I don't really play addictive online games, and, actually, I've pretty much stopped playing games altogether. I've been trying to find something else to do, but there isn't much available.</p>

17

<p>Speaking of Metal Gear Solid, do you think that Snake will be on a wheelchair and oxygen breathing tank by Metal Gear Solid 6?</p>

18

<p>I used to love gaming.. I played Halo, runescape(don't ask =\,) Age of Empires... i even stayed up till 1am in middle school for rs.. but now, all those games seem boring and a waste of time to me now.</p>

19

<p>i was decently hardcore @ cs but then just dropped it after 5 years. I dont know what happened but im so glad i stopped.</p>

<p>I enjoy video and computer games, but I'm far from hardcore. I'm lucky if I play for an hour a week.
The only game I'm mildly addicted to is Maple Story.</p>
