Video Game Confessional Part Deux: Your Confessions
I've combed through the comments and the emails I've received in response to my own confessions and I thought I'd share them with the masses. Don't worry, no names will be used so you can all bask in the anonymity of the net. Follow the jump for my favorites and post even more of your own. Also, I'm looking for your proudest gaming moments as well so please e-mail them to me and I will include them in a future feature. Thanks guys, as a bonus I've included that picture I mentioned in the original article, feel my shame!
Your confessions after the jump.
I have only beaten one Zelda game, even though I have every single one of them in my house
Choosing the Turbographix over the SNES
Dancing to the music from Streets of Rage 2 with my cousing like we were at a club and I was only 13 at the time.
I am currently cheating to complete Professor Layton.
I can play Super Mario world practically blindfolded.
I LIKED FINAL FANTASY: THE SPIRITS WITHIN
I play Second Life, nuff' said.
I'm deathly afraid of the Tomb Raider T-Rex.
I stole a copy of MK II from a friend for a week. I was seriously considering keeping it, but the guilt was too much to bare. So, I slid it into his back pack while he wasn't watching.
I wasted COUNTLESS hours of my life downloading skins of anime characters for the sims, then having them reenact my wildest yaoi fantasies. Ah, to have been a fly on the wall of my gundam wing household...
i make my roommate take his shirt off when he wants to play my PS3... he's comfortable with his sexuality enough to say, "okay!" and i exploit that, heh.
I have purchased and traded in "The Thing" on xbox like, ten times, but have never played it. I keep meaning to. I do currently own a copy, but still have yet to play it.
I absolutely hate playing Rock Band and Guitar Hero, but I own both.
I also find Warcraft orc's VERY attractive.
Back in the Super Mario Kart days, I would always pick the maps that had the easiest
shortcuts. When my friends asked me how I had gotten so far ahead, I
lied and told them I didn't know
When playing SingStar or KaraokeRevolution, I act all ashamed when
someone wants me to sing Blondie or Abba. I put on an act of "Well if
nobody else wants to sing it, I suppose I will." Yeah, I wanted to sing
that song from the start.

Other stuff like this: confessions, your turn
Heh.. I spot a secret (or two) of mine up there. *chuckle*
I once spent an entire 3 day weekend playing Harvest Moon 64. And when I say "entire" I mean that I only took breaks to go to the bathroom, and three times for eating. No sleep though.
I liked Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (definitely a lot more than FFVII) as well. I think they had a bunch of the wrong types of critics watching it that pre-emptively set people not to like it (heck, I remember a large percentage of the critics thought it was live action).
OH WOW...It's Sigard from Xenogears. Hot damn.
I see mine!
And epic yes for Sigard.
"When playing SingStar or KaraokeRevolution, I act all ashamed when

I totally feel the same way.
Cool, my confession is up there! ...Should I be happy or ashamed?
I just noticed...Sigard has a belly button piercing. Now THAT'S hot!
Anyways, by far my most triumphant gaming moment would have to be when I was kicking ass and taking names in the arcade while playing Capcom vs. SNK 2. Guys were literally lining up to try to defeat me and my unstoppable team of badass ladies, Nakoruru, Athena and Morrigan. Eventually, this one strutting rooster comes swaggering over, shoots me a sidelong glance and an arrogant little half smile that seemed to say, "there's no way a girl is going to beat me." He inserted his quarters and chose his characters (all big, burly males, by the way.) and I proceeded to tear him a new asshole! After his defeat, he slammed his fist down on the game, screamed out a naughty word, and left in a huff.
It's good to be the Queen!
Hmm... my produest moment god there's so many.
I have to say even though the system died a horrible death, being the first kid on the block with a Saturn was cool. Everyone came over to marvel at the horrible looking polygons.
Saddest moment? Hmmm probably finally coming to grips with my homosexuality as a kid after getting a little to excited when I'd fight Lion in Virtua Fighter 2. Again for the aforementioned Saturn.
I really should thank Dad for that gift I'm sure he'd love to know what caused all this :P
I'll throw a few into the hat:
* I have never once played a minute of a GTA or FF game. And I am perfectly ok with that.
* There are three games sitting on my shelf right now that I bought over two years ago that I have never played. I still tell myself I'll get around to playing them. One day. When I get some time...
* I can never make my character "evil" in RPGs because I feel WAY TO GUILTY. I've tried. I just can't do it. The second I make my character a jerk I feel God-awful pangs of guilt and do something to rectify the situation and move on.
* I'll sometimes be moved to tears whenever I hear "The Legend of Zelda" theme song.
