" They should make a game were you play the guy making the "Yeah" and "Uh" sounds in the background of hip hop music. "
The middle button on the controller lets you do this actually.  I bought dj hero 2 weeks ago and the controller is already broken :( "
Oh noooo I just impulse bought DJ Hero a few days ago and now am afraid that it will break on me as well. : ( 
 
I would like DJ Hero 2 (and Rock Band 3) but I'm trying to actually save money now so I'll have to pass it up, or at least wait til it gets drastically cheaper.

" Alright. So. I'm going to say Persona 3. I'm not trying to fish for comments or anything, it really did. I have a crippling, agonizing fear of death that honestly causes me great distress, and that game really helped me work through a lot of those issues. It still plagues me from time to time, but playing through Persona 3 helps me out. It reminds me that you only get one life, but that it needs to be lived, not wasted, and loved, not miserable. It's sappy, maybe, but it helps.  Incidentally, Persona 4 is a way more touching game for me personally (having a big brother complex over my 4 sisters, and having recently moved away) And it's a better game, but it didn't necessarily help me. It was just frakking awesome. "
This is about the same for me. Sometimes you just have those times in life where your amazing perfect life suddenly comes crashing down around you and you just wish things could... fast forward or stop it altogether. Persona 3 helped to remind me that even when things are bleak and you feel like you just got the rug pulled out from under you, get up, keep going, and eventually you'll find that spark in life again.  Also, I liked Persona 4's gameplay and most of the characters better (and their development), I liked the ideas and story behind Persona 3 better. Also, P3 has Junpei Iori. Jumpei is amazing. "
Yes and yes. I agree with everything in these above posts. Persona 3 is pretty much the most touching game I've probably ever played, with tons of beautiful moments. 
 
Silent Hill 2 is another game that touched me, but in a different way. It made me really sit back and ponder how love can suddenly sour, and how people do things sometimes without truly realizing what they're doing. I am not a winner with some of my past relationships, and believe it or not, this game made me try to get my love life on track. One of the few games that both terrified me and made me think about that sort of thing. : )

" The Neverhood, perhaps?  Mainly the parts where you play in first-person. "
Oh man, me too. Something about the weird things that happen and its claymation style just freaked me out when I played it as a kid. 
 
The desolate future in Chrono Trigger freaked me the hell out as a kid too, just because a complete lack of hope like that is scary to me. That, and the wind howling and creepy minimalist music every time you were on the world map screen. : / 
 
Also that part in one of the Sly games (Sly 2 I think?) where Sly and Murray are captured by the scary torture spider lady and Bentley needs to rescue them.  
 
Ok let's face it, I get scared so easily that most games I've played have somehow freaked me out on some level. : (

" Well, so I really like Persona 3, I mean I REALLY REALLY liked it. Yes, I am willing to go through it all for a third time just to get a little more info on a few characters. However, I probably would never use the PSP for anything else since I'm not very interested in it's library.  "
I did buy a PSP for this game, and I don't regret it in the slightest. It is so different and they added so much. I've also bought the original and FES, so yeah, I've spent over $300 now just for Persona 3's different iterations. It's also much faster - I'm almost through October and only about 35 hours in. I really couldn't recommend it enough with all the updated s-links. If you've got the money, do it!!

I personally still love Frequency and Amplitude, but considering the huge strides that rhythm games have made, it's just not the same mashing buttons on the controller rather than beating on drums/playing guitar/singing into a mic. So those games have been made pretty unnecessary to play after all the guitar hero's / rock bands of our day.

" Legend of Dragoon for the PSX. Everyone seemed to loathe that game. "
Sadly, I'm in the "loathe it" category. Seems like a love-it-or-hate-it game, though, as I've talked to a few others who just adored it. 
 
I really really enjoyed Hotel Dusk, which a lot of people were "meh" about. Same with Final Fantasy IX, which is another love-it-or-hate-it.

" 80 is how much a Wii Remote costs here, or something like that. 360/PS3 controllers are $100. So yeah, 80 is cheap. "
Ah, see, but I'm from the U.S.O.A., we don't deal with your silly foreign papers you call "money". Ohohohoho. You're prices do not mean anything in the process... Ohohohohohoh!!  How much is the minimum wage were you live? "
We don't use paper, we use much more durable stuff.  And i'm not sure, but i'd say it's probably 16? or something around there? "
Minimum wage where I live in the US is about $7.50. Only in the past few years has it achieved that - as of three or so years ago it was $5.15. We're also a right-to-work state or some such silliness, so they can get away with a super low wage.
 
I like PlayAsia but yeah, their stuff is expensive for me too. When I bought Picross 3D, it was like $55. Which is crazy expensive for a DS game, but worth it for that one.

That last one is pretty creepy, for sure. But I find it frustrating, and I'm sure the government does too, that every time anything slightly odd happens in the air everyone cries that it MUST be aliens. I'm not discounting the possibility, but it's just the first thing everyone automatically jumps to. 
 
However, it must be frustrating for everyone else that the government keeps saying every sighting is just a weather balloon, so who knows. : P

" Getting a tattoo. I had finally made a huge resolution in my life and got the tattoo to mark that resolution. It took me several months to design and draw it, and two four or so hour sessions in the parlor, but it's one of the few things I've done in my life that I don't regret, and three years later, it's really helped me keep my resolution. : )  "
What was your resolution if you don't mind me asking? "
Not going into details, but I decided to stop a behavior that was very harmful to myself and that I had been doing for about seven years. Nothing else had worked, and this was my last chance. And it worked beautifully, maybe because I put so much of myself into it and knew it was such a permanent thing. I know it's an odd solution, but it marked a major turning point that never would have happened otherwise. : )

" Oh btw - people who respond to this thread quite negatively are scared themselves yet believe it to be funny to make other people feel as uneasy as they do about their future. Just saying. "
Wow, types like you who think they know everything about everybody annoy me to no end.  Maybe they're responding negatively because they just don't take this seriously and not because they're scared. "
Doesn't help that, often, the people who do believe really believe, and the people who don't really don't.
