Do you play video games?

We used to have a Super Nintendo and Playstation growing up... I recently bought a Wii and love it.

The joys of emulators. I play a few NES, SNES, and genesis games on my phone now and then. The emulators are terrible on battery life, though.

We have several consoles and as such I play a few games occasionally. For the most part I'm picky, cheap (wait till games are older and cost $30 or less), and can't play many games.
Anything too fast paced, and especially FPS, are out. I have that problem that many have with getting dizzy from them - It carries over to things like treadmills, exercise bikes, and the like.

Used to play WoW, switched over to Lord of the Rings online, loving it.

You might try turning on a desk fan to blow air in your face. I get horrible motion sickness due to inner ear problems, and mostly get dizzy from artificial motion simulation from things as you describe. Having cool air blow in my face somehow helps my brain sync up with the artificial movement. Give it a try, hope it helps!

I love online games. We don't have any consoles but I want to get a Wii and DH has promised to budget for one once I get a job. DH and I play together and build characters that complement each other, as a form of entertainment and a way to spend time together. It was something we started when we were dating long distance because it was something we both liked to do before we met, and we could do it while being 300 miles apart. We used to play Everquest II, and now we play a MMORPG called Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. We do have to pay a monthly subscription fee, but consider that our primary cost of entertainment since we don't have cable or any other entertainment expenses.

I got hooked when the Nintendo 64 came out! My husband, daughter, and I are gamers and have all the consoles and portables. We are on our third Xbox 360 and our second PlayStation 3, but in our defense we watch DVDs on them, too, since we don't have/use cable TV and that helps to wear them out. I currently have the oldest DS so it looks like I'm getting a 3DSi this summer!

Husband likes the online Halo-type games, daughter and I love adventure ones - favorites are the Zelda games; Rock Band is super-fun!

I've had fans blowing on me in the past and have been thoroughly checked for vestibular issues (because docs initially think lightheaded and problems standing = inner ear and not nervous system problems. ).
All air blowing on my face does it help dry my eyes out faster since blink rate while playing games is slower.

I don't play PC games. There's a few for linux that I might like, but I don't feel like sitting at my PC much anymore.

I don't play it and I don't have a cell, lol!

Oh boy, I'm definitely a video game nerd.

My consoles are limited, though, and that's because although I love video games, when I get some extra cash it almost always goes to the girls.

I play Runescape online. Most people play WOW but I loves Runsescape and still feel loyal to it.
I LOVE the Sims, but my computer had multiple viruses and had to get wiped. I went to re-install The Sims 2 and the first disk was cracked all the way through!

I only have a PS2, an ancient (and amazing) Sega Genesis, and a GBA.

I love to play Pokemon on my GBA. I have yellow, gold, and blue. I want a DS so I can play Heart Gold/Soul Silver! I also have some Mario games, some randoms like Scooby Doo, Shrek, Fantastic Four, etc.

For my Genesis my favorite games are Earthworm Jim and most of all this game I have where you're a rabbit. I can't remember the name right now but I still treasure it from my youth.

On my PS2 I have the most variety. Lately I've been working through the Jak and Daxter series. I just gave up on Chronicles of Narnia. The last battle scene is impossible. I won't really give up, but I need a break. Another new game I got is Bully. It's the only "real life" game I have (as opposed to fantasy of different kinds) and it's lots of fun.
I got an Amazon gift card and I'm aiming to get Silent Hill. I love love love horror movies and horror video games. I played Resident Evil when I was like 7 on my PS and I was sold.

I play World of warcraft (anyone interested i am on perenolde and alliance NE hunter named moonfall 85 or human priest Adelamara 78) and i love the sims games... 1-3 and Fable,even though have not played fable 3 yet.

I play RuneScape as well, not so much now as I'm on Pokemon.

I play games in the Call of Duty series (I actually own five ) on a Playstation 3; my favourite is definitely Call of Duty: World at War. I only play Hardcore when I'm online...Kar98k or Gewehr 43 on Roundhouse or Upheaval is the best
It's nice to see some other Call of Duty players here!

P.S. I did try Black Ops for a week or two and I don't like it at all. It has way too much customisation and fancy things...doesn't anybody remember Call of Duty 3?

I love pokemon, i have about 90% of the pokemon games across all the consoles you can play it on blaine is getting me either white or black for my birthday

I love Animal crossing for the Wii theres a few of us play on that

Oh have any of you tried the Cooking Mama games they are good and really addictive

I dont play any online games though i cant justify the time you need to play on them to get really good at them

I don't think I can get it for Blackberry.

I don't know what "Angry Birds" is.

I play Super Mario I, II and III, Ducktales (and some other disney games) and Zeldas on my NES.
Can't afford a PS3 so I only have PS2 and I mostly play Tekken on it, and James Pond II: codename robocod.
I also love the Lion King, but unfortunately I have to play it on my computer through an emulator because I don't own it as a console version.

I also like the Call of Duty games, as well as Civilization, and the Total War games.

Lately, all I have been playing (besides a lot of Texas Hold 'em) is WoW, but that has slowed some with trying to get through the current term at school.

I play COD modern warfare 2, black ops, red faction...I love first person shooter games, they make me happy...

I don't have angry birds because I avoid getting games on my phone and ipad- it's too addictive!! I got this fruit ninja game and I kept playing and looking at the top 100 scores and trying to get to #1
Bad, bad idea to waste so much time!

I play some, but not as much as I used to. I play some stuff with my boyfriend, like Black Ops and whatnot. I also like the Left 4 Dead games. Lately I've gotten back into the Pokemon games. My boyfriend got HeartGold for me for Christmas, and surprised me with White a few weeks ago. We also have Minecraft on our computers, it's so much fun.
I've also been sucked into online adoptable games (links in my signature). Dragon Cave used to be pretty popular here until most people seemed bored of it and it wore off. I stuck around and am still playing it, as well as a few others. I wish people here were still playing also.

All the time...

I play World of Warcraft, Starcraft (Brood War and SCII), and random console games. I love the Final Fantasy series, Chrono Trigger/Cross, and so forth.

Yesterday and today I've been playing lots and lots of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
(I'm supposed to be cleaning ). It's a cool game, but it's probably wayyy better if you're a Potterhead like me.
