Playing Animal Crossing is the mental equivalent of getting out the crayons and coloring book. It feels creative and you can sort of tune out most of your brain for a while. Great for when you need to let the rest of your mind continue to worry at real life problems. :)
But I can see where it would be really frustrating if you want to play something that actually engages your mind.
Edit: And I love that it's cutesie. But I also love Hello Kitty, so obviously cutesie is not a problem for me. ^.^
Ah, so you use it for what I use reading books for =)

And just for on-topic; I hate platformers, puzzle games, and pretty much anything where real-time reaction speed is critical.
I love RPGs (shout out to Phantasy Star I and II. And how about Shining Force or its sequel?). I love tactical strategy games that give you enough time to do what you're doing (Age of Mythology, WarCraft II).
I hate PvP because it brings out the worst in humanity. So I played a lot of League of Legends against bots, but after over 1000 overall matches ended up with maybe 6 PvP. And hated them all. I play Rift, but refuse to do any of the PvP stuff.
And I'm afraid I got on the Final Fantasy bandwagon at X, and I really, really loved it.
And NobodysWife is planning on going as Lulu this Halloween. If she'll allow it, I'll post photos.

Watching people play Animal Crossing reminds me way too much of SimCity and similar games, which always kinda drove me bonkers trying to play them. I think the lack of win condition is one of the main reasons...
You gotta make your own win condition.

I guess so. Because I think I get from reading books what you get from playing video games if I'm understanding correctly. I am very mentally engaged with a book that I'm reading and constantly analyzing the content and language as I go even when not consciously, so when I'm reading it has all of my attention and I am rewarded with getting more story as I read more.
Funny how different minds work really. :)| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |

Yeah, when I read I'm imagining the goings-on in my head like a movie, and just leaning back and drinking in the story. It's very relaxing, which is why I usually get a 30-45 minute reading session in every night as a wind-down before bed.
Meanwhile I have found that I can't play video games - even heavily story-based ones like RPGs - right before bed because video games make me engage directly with the story, consciously considering my options and choosing how my characters will react, taking a more active and less relaxing role, which gets my brain running a million miles an hour and makes it impossible to quiet it down enough to sleep.

Yeah it's impressive to see the stuff people pull off.
I do not have the patience for it. I get bored, trash the place, and move on to something with more story.
It's why I can't play Minecraft, even though it makes the 10-year-old Lego-fiend child part of me squeal with delight to look at it.

Yeah, I know this feeling.
The ONE place I've had positive PvP interactions was on my very first NWN server. There was a very strong player-driven conflict between two factions and the PvP encounters generally ended surprisingly well.
Everywhere, every game, since, however, it's been an extremely unpleasant experience.
And I'm afraid I got on the Final Fantasy bandwagon at X, and I really, really loved it.
I did enjoy X. Really, despite all the griping and arguing about which was the best and personal preferences, I didn't find an FF before XIII (and not counting XI since it's not like the rest) except for VIII that I didn't like; some I just liked more than others. Some were awesome, some were less awesome, some were middle of the road.

OK, OK!
So I was yet another uber-responsible teen, and I loved driving my friends around. So the moment I graduated, I started chaperoning trips for the Chemistry Club and Senior Girls' Honorary. (If you ever think men have an exclusive contract on being foul when "alone" with their sex, try driving a group of six 17-year-old girls on a 5-hour drive into the mountains. The stuff I heard...)
So when it came time to chaperone the Chemistry Club on their trip to Washington D.C., I was only 20, and many parents voiced concerns that I wasn't old enough to properly look after their kids. It took a school board meeting wherein half a dozen teachers and parents vouched for my maturity for me to be approved to help with the trip.
As the trip approached, they were still one chaperone short. Since they already had one recent grad, they just grabbed another: A 19-year-old woman with no board meeting, no vouching, no nothing. (And I happened to know she had quite the secret rebellious side.)
Anyway, I have many, many "wonderful" stories about the trip, but this one was the worst. At the time, the drinking age in Washington D.C. had been raised from 18 to 21 to match the rest of the nation. Due to legal reasons, it didn't just go from 18 to 21 one day. The "legal" birth date got set so that the drinking age gradually went from 18 to 21 over three years. When we went, as you may have guessed, the legal drinking age was... 19.
Anyway, I was called down to trouble in one of the hotel rooms, and discovered the kids had two full cases of beer under their bed. On questioning, it turned out the other chaperone had bought it for them! (My personal theory: She'd always been a "nerd" in school, so she did it so she would be seen as "cool" by the kids so close to her own age.)
As I pondered reporting it, it turned out I didn't have to. She'd supplied several rooms with cases of beer, and one of the students had already gotten drunk, cussed out the teacher in charge, and then thrown a punch at her!
Both the chaperone and the kid were flown home at their own expense (and their own shame) the next day.
The moral of the story: If you're old enough to buy beer for underage drinkers, be sure to provide it only to those who won't throw punches at the teacher in charge of the entire trip...

I'm the opposite. Music is one of the biggest things that will draw me to a game. The only thing I need more than that is a story. If the story is good enough and the music enthralling enough, I can tolerate poor mechanics.I like Danny Elfman for soundtrack music, never really paid much attention to video game music.
I blame years of playing Madden.
I only play RPGs and RPG-esque games like Mount & Blade: Warband, but I always do it with the music turned down (mainly because I really only play games to give my hands stuff to do while I listen to crap on Youtube)

I will hence make you sit in on my singing lessons. I have a singing voice just like your least favorite instrument.Can you learn to be a good singer? I mean, if you have a good ear but weak voice, can your voice be trained to be a great voice? Or do you have to be born with it?Absolutely.
Truly good singers get there through technique and practice. There is a biological component as well, and that may make the difference between being pretty good and being Pavarotti, but as a general rule singers are made not born.
The recorder?

Yeah I've never understood how people can multitask like that. Unless Youtube is strictly just playing music, I can't just let it run in the background; I have to be paying attention to it. And definitely can't play one game and pay attention to a video in another window or something. One thing at a time. @_@

Well, obviously someone enjoys having hundreds of hours to accomplish real life tasks instead of flushing so many of them down the toilet fighting dragons, crafting armor, and saving Tamriel like the rest of us.

360 player here, and the only graphics bugs I've seen were the one corrupted save I had where everyone's heads were missing, and a little thing I like to call the "Thedas Slide," where a character in the background will suddenly zip across the ground to the other side of the screen and then carry on as if nothing had happened. On the other hand, the game is more crash-prone than most I've played, and sometimes certain characters will freeze in place during combat.

If you're into story and music, I'd strongly suggest Morrowind (or the upcoming PC-exclusive fan-made Skyrim engine port Skywind). Amazing musical score, cool story, and a really engaging and unique setting, counterbalanced with below-average graphics for the time that haven't aged well (though the concept designs are stellar), poor voice acting, and a super janky game engine.

I have mennieres disease. I can't rely on my inner ears to tell me which way is up like a normal person because my ears get confused at the drop of a hat. So I rely on what I see to orient direction. Especially watching the horizon. The graphics problem here happens at the horizon, on multiple systems, two different copies of the game. When they loop the background there's a moment when the rocks in the horizon 'jump' as it skips back to the beginning of the loop. No amount of changing the settings can make this loop not happen and it totally disorients me as my eyes are then telling me that the world just shook even though I know it didn't. Terrible motion sickness. I've had other people look at it and they can't see the jump until I point it out. It's only a problem if you have a habit of staring at horizons apparently as they were able to easily ignore it after knowing it's there. Wish I could. :/
Well, I guess there are worse things than not being able to play the new games that are currently out. Good thing I'm not a die hard video game person. :)
Still disappointed about inquisition though. I was really into that series. It's definitely a bummer.
