Some aspies like animals better than people, well... my version of that is that I like NPC's better than people.

I try not to make them part of my life now. I don't download them, or go on the webpages, or buy consoles or whatever. In June a mate had a Fifa game and I took to it and played it until he turned in. Faffing around in friendlies with Sandnes Ulf, wonderful fun. Massively addictive though which is why I avoid them. I had a horrid, meaningless few months last year of intermittently getting addicted to Candy Crush. It even irreversibly slowed my computer down. Didn't feck any money at it, at least. Never again, I'd hope. Thankfully I don't have nearly as much of the initiative to get good at any games now either.

I'd consider it a success if I never touched a video game again. I've semi-watched old playthroughs of games I used to enjoy on YouTube as a sort of methadone. Much more worthwhile doing things in real life that you can metaphorically level up on, like mastering a sport or instrument, plus it actually benefits you/others.

I used to play Ms PacMan religiously back in the early 80s.

I haven't played much video games since then.

I play video games more than once a week. I'm either on my PS Vita or my 3DS XL playing pokemon. Pokemon is something I think I play the most out of any other video games I have. I think it's because pokemon is a little more simple for me than playing more advanced games such as Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. I still love playing those two games, but I never get anywhere when playing them and end up giving up a lot faster on them than I do with pokemon.

I also use cheats for my pokemon games. This makes it much easier for me to play Pokemon. The only time I've ever been able to beat the elite four & Gym leaders without cheats is in Pokemon X.

I voted "Never...." I don't have a gaming platform like a Playstation or Xbox. I do have a bunch of games on my phone, tho...are those the same thing?

I knew somebody who spoke 3 languages fluently, at work she saw me struggling with the game so she snatched it outta my hands and while she was talking to me with one half of her brain, with the other half [mighta been a quarter or an eighth as she was scary smart] proceeded to max out the game [100k points] in just what seemed like a minute, and make the rocket take off at the end. :oops: ah the things I could do with that kind of brainpower! :o
