I never care if I win, and I don't think I have a competitive bone in my body. I mean, I love to play a game against a friend, but most of the time I lose predominately because I don't "want it" as bad as the other person. When it comes to MMGSs (read my blog on why I call MMOs that =P), I REALLY drive people nuts. I've never experienced a level treadmill because I just do whatever makes me happy- if I'm having fun chasing a sheep around the gameworld yelling "moo" at it, I'll do that, darn it! =P I also annoy people when it comes to "gifts"- I refuse to accept anything from other players for free, even a copper, so every time I've tried to join a guild, I've been showered with offers of better weapons and such, and I have to figure out how to decline without offending anyone (rarely works- people get irked)! If you see me in EQ2 or WoW (or any other game of the sort) you know whatever I have, I got myself, period! (And that's why what I have normally sucks, hehe.) I love all game types, though- only things I don't care tons for are "videogames", which I define as anything arcadey, button-mashy or otherwise "thoughtless". I'd rather play games that immerse you in a story or make you think is some form! I love shooters and RTSs, sports games and the like, but I rarely multiplay. Ultimately though, if it's a game, I'm for it- I'd rather have minesweeper than nothing! My favorite type of game though, is perfectly displayed in things like Civ IV, Diablo 2, or the upcoming going-to-be-the-greatest-game-ever Spore- infinitely replayable, always random, and epic in content and potential! I dunno, Cat! I bet you're better than you let on at some of these game types... I just know you have mad skillz, and you're probably lulling people into a false sense of security so you can CRUSH them when they come across you in-game. =P I’m such a unique type of gamer- it actually frustrates other gamers.

I did pick up Halo 3 on Tues, and there really isn't anything amazingly new about it (although the movie stuff is pretty cool) but the actual game is very well "polished" and over all really is just a great game. It will probably pull me back into shooters, and between it ncaa, and Carcasone/Catan might get me playing more 360 than PC (at least till Kunark).
