Shameful video game confessions thread

Author
Time

I thought about putting this in the gaming thread but it felt like it didn't fit there.

So any way is there anything you have ever done as a gamer that you are ashamed to admit? Any thing that you feel makes you stick out as not being a "real" gamer? If so talk about it hear.

For my part here is my list.

1)I have beaten most of my NES games but only with game genie.

2)I play most games on easy the first time because I want to see what happens next in the story.

3)despite beating the other games in the series I have yet to get around tp beating Halo 3.

4)Wii Sports may be my most played game in the past eight years.

5)I have spent way more time playing Fable 3 then Skyrim despite the fact that Skyrim is a much better game and has a lot more to do and gives you a lot more freedom.  I just like the art work and the look and feel of the world of Fable 3 better then Skyrim and so I am on my third play through while I am only about 7 hours into Skyrim.

It felt good to get that off my chest. Anything you would like to confess that makes you feel a deep sense of shame as a gamer?

I haven't bought a video game system since Nintendo 64.

Don’t do drugs, unless you’re with me.

 A wise decision in retrospect. That was as good as they ever got.

I love my n64 but you can have my Dreamcast when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

Video games to which I have masturbated:

Street Fighter 2 [the version with Cammy, in particular]

Super Metroid [100% Completed Ending]

Soul Calibur

Soul Calibur 2

Soul Calibur 4

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Hyrule Warriors [in anticipation of]

Mario Kart 8 [I know, surprising, but that unlockable title screen with Rosalina leaning against the ATV!  Hawt!]

...

Now THAT'S how you make a shameful video game confession!

Well that was something I didn't want to know about you George.

 Hey, it's my vision--I don't care if no one likes it.

 You do know if you do it enough you will lose your vision,right?

I once fell asleep playing Final Fantasy 7 and spent the whole of my snooze wandering around Junon. Not sure if that's shameful....I did drool a bit.

I also want to have Barry Burton's babies and he is a married man with a child. He is just a video game character with the most hilarious dialogue ever.

Except for that Spider-Man game released back in 2000, I haven't been able to win a single video game without using cheats.

I woke up my then girlfriend to comfort me when Aerith died.

 

I'm still deeply attracted to Princess Daphne from Dragons Lair.

I loved that Spiderman game.  It's the only Spiderman game I have ever finished.

I had a crush on Selphie from Final Fantasy 8 the first time I played the game. I was 14 at the time.

 I've played the first 3 Mario Nes titles on an emulator, and beaten em (or got very close, can't remember) using save states.

I've played the first 3 Monkey Island games using walkthroughs. All the way through. Brainless.

There's this game on the iPad called Geometry Dash, where you have to tap the screen to jump your square block over spikes and onto platforms.

My 6-year-old daughter is better at it than me.

My 15 year old brother spent five hours the other day kicking my butt in Halo Reach and I have been playing the Halo games since they came out but he won every match!

Back when I was growing up, a video game in my house was ether Match Game, Hollywood Squares, or Password.
