Sadly, this is a "techy furs" subject more than a "cub/little fur" subject. If it would have been about "cub/little fur" games, then it would belong here. :(

Fine. I ventured into the Tecky forum after posting the thread onlu to realize that the topic was already covered there. Part of the thread might be somewhat redundant.

Oh boy this thread is right up my alley.

I'm interested by your video gaming experience.
- What are your all time favorite games ? Why ?
Too many to name them all but I'll list some big ones
*The legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time - it was such a huge step when it came out, the atmosphere, the story, the characters. everything sucked me right in and kept me forever. I still love playing it.
*Resident Evil (remake for GC) - Besides the fact that I love survival horror games, it plays so smoothly and I know it inside and out. The creepy atmosphere and the design of the mansion are unmatched in my eyes.
*Pokemon blue - I had the biggest boner for the show, then the game came out it was like a dream come true. everyone was playing, Knew them all. Loved them all. Catching, trading and battling were unmatched and so cute too!
*Halo 2 - the first online FPS i got into. Once again so many kids at school played there was always someone on and something to do. It was so much fun.
*SSBM - I wasn't tournament good, but I was the best player I knew. I was so addicted and it was so fast paced and intricate. I play and love brawl now, but rarely get to enjoy it.

- What games are you playing these days ?
*Call of Duty: World at War is the only game I'm really playing. I just finished beating RE1 again over this last week. I've been thinking about starting Diablo 2 again for shits and giggles.

- What game system(s) do you play with ?
currently:
*Nintendo DS
*Xbox: 360
*Wii
*my pc

- Do you play online ? with friends IRL ? or alone ?
All of the above.

- Do you play at home only or also outside ?
Outside outside? I go over to friends houses often to play video games. It's pretty much the thing to do.

Thanks for jumping in.

The last question is badly phrased. I mean do you also play / use to play arcade games in bars or dedicated places (I don't know how you call them in the US) ?
