My long-time girlfriend and I conceived our child while watching Star Wars: A New Hope.

I wear three watches with alarms when I go on intense gaming binges. The alarms are set to go off at noon, 6pm and midnight, so I remember when to eat and sleep.

One time I caused a huge fight between me and my girlfriend so she wouldn’t call me or text me during the all-day Pokemon cartoon marathon. Best day ever!

In high school, I once lost 15 lbs during Christmas break because all I did was play videogames.
-Andrew

I played FFVII like 10 years ago. One time I was using the cure spell and recharging my party using ethers. I accidentally gave someone an ether, then used the spell, wasting 6mp. I still regret how wasteful I was that day.

I’ve added “headshot,” “pwn,” “pwned,” “noob” and various other 1337 words to the spell-check dictionary on my computer.

When I was 7, I was playing Pokemon Blue on a long car ride to the beach. I had just caught Zapdos and it was the greatest moment of my life. Then the bumpy car, no back-light, and my penchant for car sickness, made me throw up on myself. My Dad pulled the car over while my Mom cleaned me off. Then she did the unthinkable and turned off my Game Boy before I was able to save my progress. I was so angry and upset that when we got back on the road, I turned the Game Boy back on and played until I threw up again.

A really romantic moment in my relationship was when my boyfriend changed his Modern Warfare 2 clan tag to my name and I changed mine to his.

I bought Starcraft 2 the day it came out. During checkout, I asked for $40 cash back. However, once I had the game in my hands, I ran out of the store to get home to play it. I forgot to take my money. I don’t even care. The game is so sick!

I broke up with my girlfriend because I found a strategy guide for Mario Galaxy 2 in her room. I don’t date cheaters.

A couple weeks ago there were tornado warnings all over my county. When the sirens went off I ran upstairs, emptied my dresser drawer, stuffed it with soft clothes, unplugged my N64, shut it in the drawer, grabbed my phone and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Gold Edition and ran into the basement.
-Jake

I recently installed an electricity outlet inside the bathroom of our house so that my DS won’t run out of power while I’m doing my business.
-Omar

I made over $200 in tips last week. I spent it all on Rock Band DLC.

After an all-nighter of Halo 3, I decided to play a little 1v1 with my twelve-year-old daughter. After 30 minutes of her killing me with the needler and tea-bagging me, I finally snapped. I grounded her for a week and forbid her from going to her friend’s birthday party.
-Dad

I used to get shot down by a lot of girls when I explained what my rebel alliance and galactic imperium tattoos meant. Now I tell them they’re alternate symbols for yin and yang.

I am a FIFA maniac. After playing ’09 for about a year, I thought I was ready for ’10. I bought the game and started manager mode immediately. After a grueling week of league and cup matches, developing players and ruthless trades, I faced lowly Wigan for the second to last game of the season. They were in 15th place, and I didn’t take them seriously. After losing 4-2, I turned off my xbox, went in my room and cried.

I just told a girl who was flirting with me that I was going to sleep, and then I watched the Nerf episode of Bleep Bloop.

In high school, I would tell people that the reason I never went to any parties on Saturday nights (not that I was invited to any) was because I didn’t want to miss Justice League Unlimited.

One day, I got a call from my grandmother who asked me to hook up my Nintendo so my younger cousin could play it while she stayed with her that summer. Excited that my grandmother had found my old nintendo that I had missed since my childhood, I took off work early to claim what was rightfully mine. With great anticipation of playing some of the all time great games on arguably the best system ever, I get home to find that it was my old PS2 she had discovered. I was instantly pissed.
-Andy

I started dating my first girlfriend shortly before we both went away to different colleges. As a fun way to get things going when I went to visit her one weekend, I proposed we play strip Tekken 4. I thought I had devised the perfect way to get her naked and boost my ego at the same time. She button mashed and got me completely naked before she took anything off.

My cousin gave me a black eye once. He did it because I wouldn’t stop making fun of him, for thinking that Kirby was a Pokemon.

I went over to a friend’s house after school one day in 6th grade because he found his older brother’s stash of Playboys. It was my first time seeing a naked woman. When I got home, my brother was in the basement playing our brand new N64 that my parents went out and bought that day but didn’t tell me about. I was pissed that I missed out on one hour of playing N64 to look at my first set of boobs.

I once ended up in the emergency room with an IV for dehydration after playing Dance Dance Revolution for six hours on an 85 degree day.

I bought the Lego version of Boba Fett’s Slave One and tried to put it together as soon as I got home. When I got to the last page of instructions, I realized I was missing an important piece that was unique to the set. I was sure I hadn’t lost it, so I knew Lego had shorted me the piece. I couldn’t even find a suitable replacement in my three gallon bucket of Legos. I was furious. I complained to my mom, the store where I bought it, and even wrote a letter to Lego. This was 3 years ago. I was 18 years old.

When I was younger, about 6, I purposefully peed on my underwear (as in, took them off and peed on them) so I’d have to change. I had a pair Super Mario 3 underwear and I was really happy when I got to wear them.

After I captured all 150 Pokemon, my friend told me that the only way to get Mew (#151) was to visit a secret location you lose access to once you beat the game. I deleted my completed game in order to start over, at which point my friend told me he made it all up. I never spoke to him again.

I just moved most of my Dungeons and Dragons books over to my girlfriend’s house. I consider this a bigger step than keeping a toothbrush in her bathroom.

I skipped my Junior Prom to watch a Sci-fi Original Movie that was airing that night. I regret the decision only because the movie was Cube 2: Hypercube, and was nowhere near as good as the original.

The first time I dealt with death was when a beloved neighbor of mine passed away. I was about 11. My Mom and Dad came to me and broke the news that she had died. I was sad, for sure, but I had also just gotten Mario 2 and all I really wanted to do was play it. So – and I still feel guilty about this – I said that I wanted to be left alone in my room because I was embarrassed to cry in front of everyone and wanted privacy. I spent the rest of the day happily playing Mario 2 and pretending I “wasn’t ready” to deal with the family whenever they would ask if I wanted to talk.

In 7th grade, I would get mad at my mom if she was late to pick me up from school. The reason I gave her was that I had a lot of homework to do, but in reality it was because Dragonball Z came on at exactly 3:30.

I recently showed a girl my Mac Mini Boxee HTPC set-up. I explained it’s media playing capabilities and how it could be operated entirely by my phone. She said, “Just so I understand, you think this is impressive. Right?”
