So I do play lots of games, but I generally don't like FPSs. My husband and I played split-screen Borderlands together, and that was really fun. The first little bit was a bit tricky, and he had to do most of the combat, but once I got Roland leveled up a bit (he played Brick) it became a really hilarious experience. You could watch the quick look with her and see if it looks like something she might be interested in.

yes, but only on the weekend when my husband and brother-in-law can play with me.

@guynamedbilly: I'm sure this is overly simplistic since I haven't taken any preferred stock into account, but at a quick glance: 68.38 mil outstanding shares currently trading at $0.67 = $45.81 mil

That's a lot of money to lend when your stock is being threatened with delisting.

Resistance 3 is the only FPS I've ever wanted to play. I borrowed a PS3, and video rental membership, rented the game, and was very, very terrible at it. I played on easy. I was really amazed at the emotional aspect to it, even if the story itself was kind of simple. I did wonder, even at the time, who the target audience was since you're playing a thirty-something year old man with a wife and toddler who is only saving the world because your wife told you to.

I also appreciated how final the ending was. I grow tired of the endless open-endness of everything just in case it is successful enough to warrant (another) sequel. I understand that sometimes the questions left hanging are there as a statement or art, but I personally prefer solid conclusions.

@Niall_Sg1: Yeah, come and join us! We played a bit the other day with DrDropShip and it was a blast. The server in general is quite friendly, except sometimes people get weird about other people looking for a group in the main chat (which seems like the whole point of General Chat...).

Let me know what you're going by.

I know exactly how you feel about kinect (or rather, I would describe how I feel after Kinect in a similar way). I have fibromyalgia and joints that love to dislocate, and I was able to try out Once Upon A Monster last year at Gamescom. My arms hurt so much by the end of it, and I was boggled to think of anyone "flying" for so long. Fruit Ninja was fun, and if I were totally healthy I would definitely own Dance Central 2, but just trying them out for a minute or two meant that the next week or two were worse than if I had just spent the whole time waiting in lines (which is a whole other can of worms).

Sometimes, when I'm really tired or feeling really sorry for myself, I get "stuck" playing casual games which is only a problem after two or more hours (which can really fly by). Then my arm and shoulder hurts, and I can't do other activities. Other games cause other pains. However, when I first became sick I had to give up a lot of activities that I really loved - hiking, swimming, singing, snowshoeing. I've never been a huge movie or tv watcher. Games provided me with a really fun outlet, and also a community of like-minded people. It also doesn't matter that in real life, I can't lift a crossbow (I've tried, and it was embarrassing). I'm good (enough) at games, and they are fun. And it is a pat answer, but all the limitations I face don't matter in Skyrim, or when I'm Batman, or bejewling (yeah, that's a verb).

I have to say that being limited is not exactly why I play, I did play games before. When my grandma was dying I closed 54 Oblivion gates. I found it therapeutic. I would play even if I was in top shape, but I'd play less because other hobbies would be open to me.

The 2007 EA release Boogie is listed in the 2007 EA annual report as being very innovative, but I know nothing about it and the page is basically blank.

Number Maze for the Mac Classic II. My parents had strong beliefs that too much tv was bad for you, but education games could be played for hours.

@Death_Unicorn: I see what you're saying, and in speaking that's absolutely true. However, in typing the non-verbal and verbal cues are missing, and what really kills the point is apologizing to someone while explaining, awkwardly (because it's always somewhat awkward), that it was sarcasm.
