I find Dark Souls bosses to be the easiest part of the game(s) and people think that's a brag. My biggest obstacles are anything I can fall off, grunts that I've already killed a billion of, me being dumb and I'm also very arrow intolerant. The perfect storm is a grunt shooting me with an arrow while I'm on a ledge causing me to nimbly dodge roll over the edge and die.

Gravity is the hardest boss in a souls game.
 
I was a big fan of the Tony Hawk's games and played all of them up to THUG2.

I thought I was pretty good until I tried online multiplayer on the PS2 for the first time. Everyone is a hero until the other guy literally does a non-stop combo across the whole level. I got so ass blasted I never played Tony Hawk's online again. I'll just stick to shooters and other games I'm at least competent at for my multiplayer needs.
 
The only Animal Crossing I've ever played was Wild World, and I drop it after a day or two out of boredom. I never touch any Animal Crossing games ever again since then. It's really not my cup of tea.

I hate the first gen of Pokemon. I feel that the games were really messy and unpolished, and the pokemon design was very uninspired. The spritework was not so good, sometimes even downright ugly. Plus lot of the Japanese names of the first gen pokemon are horrible.

I also don't like playing in harder difficulties, except when there's ingame reward for doing so that cannot be obtained otherwise. I don't really care for trophies.

I can never pick the bad/evil/morally dubious choice in RPGs because it makes me feel really guilty. Using New Vegas as an example: I appreciate that I can side with Ceasar's Legion but I just can't do it, instead I do NCRs bitch work

Imagine siding with the NCR thinking they are the opposite of "bad/evil/morally dubious". Independent Vegas fo life bitch!

As much as I like playing video games, I usually hate talking about them, in person that is. If I'm hanging out with friends and they start talking about video games, I just ignore it until they're done. I just find talking about video games while in person really autistic.
 
Quake 4 is a good gaem i liked it tbh also think quake 2 is pretty trash
 
I also romanced Tali because I hate romance options in games and she had a funny voice. The worst was Dragon Age 2 where it gave bonuses to chat up everyone in your party, it became pure grinding through dialogue and at one point I wasn't paying attention and suddenly a sex scene with the pirate chick played and even though I was alone in my apartment I felt really embarrassed. If burglars had broken in and seen it they could have my stuff, I would leap out the window to my death out of shame.

I think I ended up with Fenris, the bi elf. I don't know how though.

Okay. My confessional. I actually bought Biing! Sex, Intrigue, and Scalpels because it was on sale on GOG.com. And I'm utterly hopeless at it. Can't survive the first day hopeless. I keep getting alerts that one of my doctors and his nurse are "playing a jolly hospital game" on work's time because I can't seem to get the patients through the doors no matter how much I advertise.

I also watched the tutorial video where a woman who was actually a nurse IRL explained the controls and interface while slowly removing an improbable uniform. I remember that you couldn't get away with it nowadays because she described the psychiatric department as "where all the crazy people are made normal again."
 
Despite having never used the Wii Shop, never having cared about the meme, and not listening to or even thinking about the Wii Shop Theme since the time the Wii Shop went down--the song has been playing on repeat in my head for the past like hour while I was making and eating dinner.

I dont know if it's sinful but it certainly is making me feel like Ive been a sinner now. This is the music that you hear in purgatory, or like, Satan's DMV.

I bet just by bringing it up at least one person is going to get infected by it now thinking of it, so I guess it's kind of a sin.
 
As I've gotten older I've become less patient about grinding for XP or crafting or whatever. So I often console command my way through these. I bought the game to have fun, not a part time job.

That is my "please wait/technical difficulties" theme that I whistle or hum when spacing out.

What was I buying? These cantaloupes? no it was...
...eggs and olive oil, yes.
 
I used to play a lot of NBA Jam because the “JAM” part is the same as my initials, and plus I try too hard to play sports games because I keep thinking I can play the same as that game. In reality, I was trying too hard, and now I’m not as good as I thought I was with those sports games like NBA 2K and Madden.

I think the moral of the story is that I’m not playing RPGs and JRPGs and I haven’t felt this happy in years. It’s kind of a strange feeling.
 
- Played through all of Witcher 3 and the DLC's despite thinking its a piece of shit
- Spent an ungodly amount of time finishing Shin Megami Tensei games on the hardest difficulty
- Learnt basic Japanese to play eroge
- Have never played a Final Fantasy game, despite being big into JRPGs
- I think Animal Crossing is bad and I genuinely don't understand the appeal
- Spent more time in the Yakuza minigames than actually playing the game
