    Re: So what are your gaming pet peeves/rules.

    I don't have any to serious, but since NCAA/Madden 08 I stay off those boards until I have played the game for at least a month or more. I have learned that I don't notice many of the complaints and glitches that get mentioned constantly.

    If I stay on the boards and read the different threads, I tend to look for all the bad stuff.

      Then she'd get mad when I give her a short answer or say "Not right now!"
      Lol yeah, my gf moved in a month ago and we've had a few instances of this. I was playing DC Universe Online and was at a intense boss battle right when she got home and wanted to show me 3 outfits she got for cheap for when we go on a cruise with family in July lol.

      She waited until I was at a stopping point, but it was funny how the timing works. 90% of the time I'm usually able to pause or whatnot, but sometimes it just doesn't work out.

      I can't complain about her though, she's pretty good at letting me have gaming time when I want, and I make sure to do stuff with her as well...

          On used games purchases (Gamestop usually), I will only buy games that have the original case and manual.
          As as soon as I know I am keeping the game, I will peel off any stickers/price tags on the case.

            I'm the same way here. I don't care if it would save me money because it's the only used copy GS has, I'm not buying one without the original case. Having one that's in their generic case would bother the hell out of me.

            And I normally peel off the stickers almost immediately. Lol.

              All my games go in alphabetical order and my wife’s games go in a separate section. Games Ive beaten also go in a separate section.


              I have to sit in the same spot, the left side of the couch.
              I thought I was alone in this. My wife calls me OC.

                  I adoped this rule after I fell asleep playing NCAA 08 on the 360 and woke up 7 hours later to a cracked disc.

                    How'd that happen? One of your rules that you have to spoon the 360 while playing?

                      It's obviously going to happen sometimes when you hang around message boards as often as I do, but the best part is when someone spoils something on one board for an entirely different game (happens often with sequels).
