1. I hear the soundtrack is fun too!
My friend's goal yesterday (day off) was laundry and Fallout 3. The laundry never happened as far as I know. :rofl:

2. You ever play video games for so long that you are so tired but you cant get to sleep?
Its almost 7 am and I cant fall asleep but I am damn tired. I keep going over ways to shoot off the heads of raiders and mutants in my head.

3. I am not much of a gamer myself...
although I am easily entertained by watching others really enjoy them.

I know my friend has fallen asleep with the controller in his hand, only to be rudely awakened when some creature is attacking, etc.

:rofl:

Try and get some rest :pals:

7. Yes
I used to play World of Warcraft so much that it entered my dreams. I played consistently for over 4 years. I haven't played in a month or so.

8. I am recovering WoW addict myself.
I played from launch date and quit around AQ 40 time. Then started up again a few months after BC but I quit again about 3 months ago. I actually went out and bought a copy of ROTLK but I havent installed it yet. I'm afraid to! Its like when you are quitting smoking but you still have that pack of cigarettes in your room.

4. I wonder what they are putting in these games to make them so addicting.
Have they figured out a way to put dope in a form that we can absorb through our eyes? That HAS to be it. I cannot seem to tear myself away from Runescape. I kinda don't want to either, although, I do wish there was a DU clan on there. :)

13. I was playing and my XBox 360 ate my disk
Level 20 most of the map explored. On the story line I freed my father from the cyber world and needed to meet with him in Rivet City.
Did quite a few of the side quests, including visiting ol Harold from Fallout 1, and 2 (I did as he asked). I had just picked up the Ghoul bodyguard, cleared the Lincoln Memorial and was going to talk to the sanctuary guy. I move my console an inch or so while it was running, and that little movement destroyed the cd. I'm going to wait till FO3 drops in price before finishing it.

14. It took me 75 hours to finish the campaign
And I still had about 20-30 unvisited locations on the map. That game is crack in disc form.

16. I wish I had an XBox 360 to play.
I got the red ring of death a few months ago and haven't been able to afford a new one. :( The last new game I purchased for it was GTA IV. I'm hoping that once I get my tax return, I may buy one and get Fable 2 and Gears of War 2. We'll see...

17. What is the "Red Ring of Death?"
Is it a 360 thing?

18. Unfortunately, yes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_ring_of_death#Three_flashing_red_lights

When a Microsoft Xbox 360 console experiences a "general hardware" failure or "core digital" failure, three flashing red lights appear (known as the "Red Ring of Death") around the power button, in lieu of the four green lights indicating normal operation. Warning signs may include freeze-ups, in which the screen has strange, spontaneous graphical problems in the middle of gameplay, such as checkerboard or pinstripe patterns on the screen, the sound is frozen and changed to a strange, static-like sound, and the console only responds to pressing the power button to turn it off. These events may happen once or several times until the general hardware failure occurs, or not at all. Just because your Xbox freezes once in awhile does not mean that the error will follow. When the error does occur, the user attempts to turn the console on and the three red lights are seen and the console will not function.

Some have confused General Hardware Failure with a similar looking error warning where four red lights appear, in which case the console does not detect an AV cable is plugged in.<5> The four lights can sometimes also be seen when power surges or very brief power outages occur while the console is running, in which the console needs to be unplugged and plugged back in again to reset the error.
