There are a lot of respected games that I can't stand playing. Silent Hill 2, Super Metroid, Final Fantasy 7 and the Banjo Kazooi games are all examples. I just find them boring and tedious.
When I was younger I was a total Nintendo fanboy. Not just a fan mind you, but a fanboy, and I was all the bad stuff that comes along with being one.
I started posting on forums on GameFAQs, and I was a regular on the board for Super Smash Bros. Brawl before that game came out. If you have ever been to a popular board on GameFAQs, you would know why this is something to be ashamed of. I also used to get into debates there over which video game character would beat which in a fight, and some of those threads would last for weeks.
I almost never play videogames by myself, and usually only play them with other people. I often consider it more fun to switch off on single player games than to just play multiplayer ones.
Videogames were sort of my life when I was younger, but now I prefer other forms of entertainment because games cost more time and money than other entertainment does. I regret trying to learn so much about videogames as a medium when I was younger, even though I do still find game design fascinating.
I really, really hate 'gamer culture' and can't stand most of the people on gaming forums. This board is really the only place on the web for videogame discussion that I like.
Oh, and I used to read and write fanfiction.
