I do not believe that I have a favorite anymore. I have evolved from this to that over the years but nothing really sticks out any more.

Back when Civ 2 came out it was definitely that type. I bought almost every game you could name from then from Colonization to Sim City. Then I slid into games like Generals. Battle strategy has its own appeal. Then Doom caught me for a while and I bought almost every 1st person there was. Almost literally every 1st person there was. Then Half-Life caught my attention and held it. Yes still first person but with a story. Games like Unreal caught me for a bit, but I lost interest fast.

I have about 200 titles. Not a single one for anything non-PC. My children play those. I watch. I shake my head and leave. Its so sad.

I suppose I will have to vote "Other" simply because there seems no other option for people without "1" favorite. There are simply to many great titles to sanctify 1 all encompassing favorite.

I can't help but feel that by ignoring consoles you are missing out on plenty of games you may well enjoy Underdog - it's not a definition that all console games are bad, they aren't guilty by association with the systems What games do your kids play that brings on this distaste, and what age are they?

I know you mean well, and in the end you are most probably correct. What you need understand is, I already spend 100's of dollars each year on games I know I like. Expanding isn't an option that would entertain idly.

I could probably go into their room and dig out a few titles. I won't because its really not part of the equation IMO. In yours perhaps but not mine.

On a brighter note. They are now old enough to buy their own titles so, part of the 100's I used to spend, can now be shift directly to me.

Sorry to not clarify that sooner, but it always irked me to buy a game I couldn't/wouldn't ever play. Maybe thats the base reason for my strong dislike of the type. I do not know.

Hehe, I can imagine it must be quite horrible to have to split your games budget Mine is smaller than I'd like as it is - I hope if I have kids that they like the same games I do!

As close minded as many may believe me to be, I could never bring myself to impose my gaming likes upon my children. I didn't buy them everything they wanted, but I did buy them everything i could afford.

All I did do was teach them the morals necessary to instill upon them that games are exactly that. I read to many articles that blamed games on violence in our youth. I wanted to forestall any of that in my offspring.

This is a public forum yes, there is also a thing called discretion. If more would mind their own business...

Mr. Reno and I have a disagreement. It will not grow beyond that unless someone else decides to make it so. I for one think we both had valid points. Most might think only one of us had, but who's the bigger man for it?

I am a bit touchy of late because every other post has someone complaining that they either failed to comprehend, or desires that I be more forth coming in my reasoning. Neither should be a requirement. Either would be nice I agree since I fail on many occasions to comprehend why you guys think "this and that" but in most of those I figure if I was meant to understand everything, I wouldn't be in a silly game forum. I'd be doing something with those brain cells.

Its not a requirement to understand always. Stop asking me to make it so.

But this is the beauty of it all. If more people, including you, would interject things like this into the conversation instead of going on the offensive we would have more harmony. We wouldn't have any more agreements, but we would have less people feeling like a cornered rat.

I felt the disclaimer post was perfection in action.

Off topic. I have been logged out many times today. Anyone else experiencing this too?
