What are your favorite video game experiences or memories?

Ocarina of Time. All of it.

Playing the mini games in Pokemon Stadium on the N64. Sandshrew was my favorite, I always won that shit. Hated the psychic one where you had to push A right as the ball swung in the middle.

Finishing FF7 then FF8 in one summer

Starcraft - First time I ever got addicted to a game Counter-Strike - First time I ever skipped social activities to play a game Mass Effect (1 and 2) - One of the first games I ever did every single side quest and mission because I was so in to it. F.E.A.R. - The first game that gave me nightmares

I could go on

All of Portal.

Super Metroid to 90's music. That is all.

Having to save slippy pissed me off but the experience will stay with me forever.

I remember the beginning of new game systems. I remember playing Galaga for hours, then the first time I saw Super Mario Bros on Nintendo. Then Sonic The Hedgehog for Sega. Then I remember spending hours playing Duke Nukem on PC. Starcraft is an honorable mention, but none of them can hold a candle to the addition I had to Team Fortress Classic (Half Life add on). After that, it was pretty much the end of my real gaming career. I got married and had babies Now I only play games for a few minutes at a time.

Summer of 1981, I was playing a lot of Pac Man, spending a lot of time studying the patterns. The game was pretty popular and there were Pac Man machines everywhere. I had reached the point where I could play almost indefinitely unless I became really fatigued and starting to make dumb errors. I was with my family at the Great America amusement park in Illinois, not having a great time, and decided to play a game of Pac Man. There was an arcade with a couple of games, so I put in my quarter and started playing. After 20 minutes or so my score was getting up there and some people gathered around to watch. The longer I played the bigger the crowd got. At some point I had passed the high score and kept going. I don't remember how long I played or what my final score was but it was over an hour, maybe an hour and a half. In the end I had the high score on the machine and a mob of cheering kids around watching me play. It was one of the few moments in my life when I ever attracted the attention of a crowd. When I stepped away from the machine, I was completely soaked in sweat and my parents had been looking for me frantically for an hour.

Many of my favourite moments in life have been during playing games, but if I had to choose...

-Playing Spyro and Croc with my friend and brother when I was a kid.

-Christmas time on a MMO I used to play, where there were trees to decorate with ornaments and lights as well as items from your own inventory. Also, large parties of around 30 people getting together to take down a boss.

-My Sims on the Wii. Such a cute little game. It was childish and easy, but very adorable, and I played it during a time when life was easy, snuggled up in blankets on cold November days.

-Playing Portal all day when I was sick, then playing Left4Dead all night long with my friend/partner.

-The summer before last when I played Assassin's Creed II and Heavy Rain. I locked myself up all day and got Subway for dinner every night, but those games were so much fun.

-And, pretty much the feeling of completing any game. When the credits start rolling and the music starts playing... sooo good. <3

Tony Hawk's Underground. Fuckin' Eric.

First game ever:Super mario land 2 in kindergarten. I never beat wario's castle until maybe 4rth grade since it was so hard compared to every other level.
