I went out with a girl today and counted how many times she slapped me...... 17
Now I need to tap her at least that :P
17.....impressive.....
Well I'm seeing her again tomorrow :)
You must have endured the slapping in a way she found attractive....

A challenger appears. Elite sucked up months of my life.

It's difficult to say what the greatest game of all time is. I usually get so into whatever game I'm playing that I always consider it the greatest game ever. Until I play the next game, and then I consider that the greatest game ever. But I was just replaying Zelda Wind Waker recently (in search of tattoo ideas) and thought to myself...you guessed it...that it had to be the greatest game ever made :?
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Elite was the first of many games that vampired my time away, but it did eventually lead to this:

Check out the screenies.

I love this game so much...

Nostalgia aside, I'd say Portal. The gameplay is basic but challenging, and it has a very good narrative in the form of GLaDOS, all ingredients that most of the classic games listed here have. Portal makes the leap into modern graphics and humour, though and for that reason I prefer it. It's also short enough to leave you wanting more.

Diablo 2.

...people still play it.
