I feel I should point out to all the people complaining about flight cancellations and having things they've ordered delayed that people in Iceland have been evacuated and have lost their homes, get over the fact you can't go on holiday.
" I've come to realize that a disturbing amount do not. I do though, thoroughly. "
I find it more disturbing that some people SHIT/PISS and then walk out without FLUSHING !! whats so difficult about FLUSHING ??? FUCK !!!!! FLUSH IT! FLUSH YOUR FUCKING SHIT!
This is why I can't use public toilets, peole are gross, and I'm probably a bit on the obsessive side about personal hygiene stuff anyway.
@Kinackin: I like a lot of games for their story, and as such will usually finish the game so that I get all of the story, but the completionist nature of things you are describing is what initially made me very worried when Microsoft first announced the whole acheivement/gamerscore thing and would ultimately take a lot of fun out of gaming and replace it with needless competition; luckily it hasn't affected me in this way and has instead served as an encouragement to go back and get more out of the game sI really enjoyed and think are worth going back for acheivements/trophies.
In conclusion I don't think it's so much acheivements and trophies that mean we (or at least I) need to finish just that as games are developing many of them are becoming more plot driven and have stories you actually care about and want to find out what happens, as well as fun gameplay. Obviously some games e.g. Burnout, Street Fighter etc. aren't really about story, but then I'm only driven to play them for as long as I find them fun and acheivements haven't really changed that (as you can probably guess from my mere 80 points on SFIV).
@roddy72: No we don't, flag it if it's inappropriate, flaming, trolling etc. Thumbs up/down allows people (fanboys) to just get rid of all comments they disagree with whether they're valid or not.
I suck at fighting games; I enjoy them, but not enough to get good, although I did used to be the best Tekken 2 player among my friends as a kid. To a certain extent that's probably true of online shooters too as I haven't played for ages, but it wouldn't take me so long to get back into the swing of it (at least I hope not as I've been meaning to get BF:BC2).
@EliasT: If I have to pick I'll go with consoles because I'm not good at keeping on top of hardware updates with PCs and I prefer a gamepad to a mouse and keyboard, but really I enjoy and use both, and some games work better on one over the other.
