Gaming

I can't wait for Blade & Soul to come out!

I used to game a lot more frequently during school.

All-time favourite: Red Dead Redemption.

Runescape, back during school days, was a main reason for the deterioration of my eyesight along with the fact that I couldn't sleep without a light on and stayed up until ridiculous hours even as a young child.
But it was an absolutely amazing game at the time. I believe it's called 'Old Runescape' now.
I was legitimately addicted to the point where I'd choose playing Runescape over meeting up with friends far too often.

So I have a soft spot from MMORPGs due to Runescape.
My brother and I often did the Quests together and I remember making friends with some peeps from school who also played - we'd go to each other's Player Houses on there to party and box in the boxing ring etc.
My God, it was so fun.

I currently play Real Racing 3, GTA5, Just Dance 4, Horse Isle 2, LoZ: Skyward Sword, Go Vacation and Sims 3 now and then. I can't really stick at a game while playing on the big TV upstairs (where Xbox and Wii are) without getting a headache within an hour or so. I have Skyrim and Okami but can't keep my interest with them for long at a time.

I've played LoZ: Twilight Princess, Project Zero 2, Resident Evil games and older GTA/Sim games with friends who owned them in the past.

I also have Nintendogs, Home on the Range, Lion King, AC: Wild World, Pippa Funnel, Dogz, most Pokemon games, Drawn to Life and more for Nintendo DS but completed them long ago.

My friend and I used to really get stuck into Mario Kart Online and Animal Crossing DS/Wii! But then, of course, Nintendo cut the WiFi option which basically took away our reason for playing after we'd already completed the games.

Mario Kart Wii on-line...good times, good times. We'd blame our foul luck on 'Muffin Man' because we needed something/someone to moan at whenever the random picker chose Rainbow Road (so boring) or Moonview Highway (so annoying).
Then there'd be the occasional hacker who obliterated nearly everyone, the trick to win easy on Grumble Volcano (which we also used but it was still a competition trying to get on first before the others) and literally just beating one guy being Funky Kong on a manual Bowser Bike manual (just like me) about 16 times was a highlight - he did win twice though to be fair.


Those were the days.

GBA/DS Pokemon's just a whole 'nother story. The PS2 also! So many good games on the PS2, there were. Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet & Clank, Gallop Racer II, Dog's Life, London Racer (or was that PC?), Singstar Party, Eyetoy: Play, Shrek, Narnia etc.

On the PC I had many games I loved as a child too, such as dad's Tomb Raider (the farting butler, oh my), Leap Frog, this random Pimp My Car game (lol) and that Zoo/JCB Operator game. Can't remember their names, sadly.
But Dogz 4 was my life. I finally had my two Dalmatians fall in love (guess which movie inspired me there) and they were just about to have pups; I was thrilled!
Then mum totally killed it when she wiped it from the computer because there was a virus or something. I died inside.
