I play videogames because of several reasons. Friends allow for Madden 09. Alone time is for the SNES RPGs of old. But overall I think I play for the same reasons that I drink beer: don't want to use the energy to do somehting productive.

Favorite Game Ever: Final Fantasy IX

Death, immediately following the end boss of Lament of Innocence.  That guy did not make me happy.  But neither of them compare to Death in the original Castlevania.  Flying scythes are just evil....  Can I get some friends from this Union?
