What DOES my username mean...?
Since i joined this forum i've been spending more and more time reading and posting in the General Discussion's Confession thread. A lot of my confessions i want to post though sound a little off topic so i wanted to expand the topic onto a videogame only platform.
Confession one : in FPS games i HAVE TO HAVE a full magazine at all times. Even if i only fired one shot, i gotta reload! Likewise, i am a "save whore". i have my index finger poised over F5 more than D half the time so considering how often i spend reloading magazines (and my game save) ridiculous amounts, i screw myself over A LOT. -which is the sole reason why i don't play FPSs online.
Confession the second : i spend nearly 10 times the amount of time watching others play games online than actually playing myself. While it's not really much of a shocker, the truth is that i sometimes lie to others about what games i've "played" when in reality i watched one or more of my favorite LPers play it instead. Some games' experiences can differ depending on genre and gameplay but with some, i'm comfortable saying i finished a game though i never touched the controller.
Confession3:The Recountening : When playing GTA or most any other driving games, i hit and run over EVERY biker, cyclist and moped i see. EVERY one. So much that it's started to affect my own driving irl! Sometimes i find myself speeding up to motorcycles on the road or being tempted to shunt a cyclist onto the sidewalk...which is terrible because i live in cyclist hipster central! Moving up to a moped on my way home from work while "DUN DUN DUN"-ing the Jaws theme is so much fun until i realize how morbid the temptation is to roll a commuter over my hood.
