I used to play a lot of video games, but not so much anymore. Just no time for it. I really like My Game Boy Advance, and play that whenever I'm away and bored. (Can't wait for the PlayStation Portable; that thing looks excellent!)

Say, whatever happened to orange-flavored Hostess cupcakes?! I used to eat those all the time before I left for Iceland in 2000, and when I got back they didn't sell them anywhere anymore! The only place I can buy them is the Albertson's next to my mom's house, which means I can only get them like three or four times a year! :(

I use to play Crazy Taxi a lot at my old work. I sold computers and game stations and such.

I have an embarrassing story about that too.

For one the game systems demos were mainly set up for the customer to be entised by the games and buy the systems and games. It is the nature of the beast to not really care about the people in the blind pursuit of money and \"order\". I liked letting people play on the games to play on the games and when I had free time to have fun for me too.

Well I was getting good at Crazy Taxi and this little boy wanted to play. I was so involved in the game and my score I shot back at the boy \"No!\". The boys father was standing not a few feet away. The father gave me the stare that I deserved took his boy by the hand and walked off. My coworkers teased me about it several weeks after the event. :)

haha, some video games can do that to you. As i was saying before about Final Fantasy X, any Final Fantasy game, is very long, and get's you inside the story line, so you physically cannot stop playing. From all of the side quests and mini games in FFX, my save file has 187 hours 23 minutes.

Star Trek Armada 2 is my favorite game right now and has been for a couple of years now. I even have a dual boot system because it won't work with windows XP, that is how much I love that game. If you liked Age of Empires or Civiliazation, or even Commodore 64's MULE, then you, like me, should LOVE this game!! It is the ultimate "gather resources, sell trade resources, build military units, and kill each other" game!! :) :) :) :)

It even has a built in tutorial that you can play that explains everything from the simpliest manuver to the most complex stragedy. Once you complete the tutorial, you will be hooked!

Rug, I beat FFX in about 90 hours, but I didn't get "EVERYTHING" and when I tried FFX-II I have about 70 hrs under my belt, levels around 65 and I realize I'd have to play another 30 hrs to beat it, so I got bored and stopped, but since you asked, I do game. Pretty much anything that is NOT a war game, or a sports game. (unless of course Tampa decides to join the board, then I will start playing sports games) I do have Kelly Slater pro surfer though and it's one of the most Zen games (aside from ICO, and Myst series) that I've ever played.

And I never heard of orange hostess's.s...s'

well, considering you know my birthday now, I was 9 when I got that game. I didn't have that many skills at nine... but i did buy ffx-2, got to chapter 5, and gave up.. it got a little boring.
