Harvest Moon, WoW, and Kingdom Hearts. :] Things like that. Though my WoW sub is out and I don't have the money to restart it. D<

Don't really play MMORPG'ers. I'm mostly into RPG and strategy. Just finished my first Mass Effect 2 playthrough (Female hardass who will do anything for the greater good), am currently purging the heretics from the various planets in Warhammer 40k Soulstorm, a variety of Flash games, and threw down Red Faction: Guerilla in disgust. Also, I would be playing Assassins Creed if not for the DRM. I'm hoping they change their minds. Also, at any moment I'm liable to start a civilization in either Civ 3 (don't have 4 ), Alpha Centauri, Galactic Civs, or Sins of a Solar Empire. Finally, can't wait for portal 2.

Wow, compared to you, Daemon, I honestly don't game as much as I thought I did. Then again, I'm more of an artist type of gal. xD I spend all my time doing fanart of games than playing them.

I don't game that much- I just jump around a lot. My attention is a fickle mistress. I also recently got a birthday gift of every THQ game available from stardock (an online distributor). So I've got a bunch to play.
It's my stress relief/drug.
EDIT: Anyone play Pen/paper RPG's? I'm into DnD, mutants and masterminds, and GURPS.

Unlike Videogames, pen/paper depend on the players/GM, not the system. Except FATAL. No one can play that well.
Basically, its goodness depends on the people- its always more important about the people than the game. The good thing about DnD is that every tg nerd knows what it is, so there's a lot of players. Try looking around college/school/work/whatever for a group.
If at first, you don't like it- it might be the group, not the game. A good idea is to make clear what you expect from game and other players, in terms of content, behavior and responsibility.
You might want to familiarize yourself with the rules and books- I know I enjoy reading RPG rulebooks, but not everyone else.
My recommendation- give it a try, there's not much to loose. Don't go out and buy dice/books until you find some people, though. Not everyone can get into it.

You mention you're in high school? Ask around, see if there's a game club or something. Meet some new people. Talk to the techies, they might know someone.
You could always try online or something. If you want, I could run a small one-shot for ya.

Yeah, that'd be cool. :] Believe me, I have looked around at my school, and the only guy I know that DOES play is insufferable as well as an ex-friend of mine.

Oh god... him... Yeah, every gaming group has one. Which sucks if there's only 2 people... I'll send you a PM with some questions.

LOL. Anyway, I'm apparently running a DnD game for BCB fans, so PM me with your skype name or something if you're interested.

Mostly fantasy-themed games, I see...
I enjoy most Crash Bandicoot and Pokémon (woo) games, but also the RTS genre. And Minesweeper, but who doesn't? ^_^
Apart from that, I like board games. Nearly all of them, in fact.
