Yeah it is a great topic. So many New Members show up here and post a question, then you never hear from them again! It's like did they read our response or not? know what i mean?
I'm proud to say i've thrown my controller only two or three times...and i still had enough rationality to throw it into a pillow at the time. I learned my lesson way back in the 80's when i was 14 and smashed my Atari joystick into my mom's American Doll collection, then had to come up with the money to buy a new frickin' joystick! Hey back then, $8.99 was alot of cash to a grass-mowing nerd.
I can see chicks liking the later Final FAntasy games...they have alot of slow, romantic cut-away scenes and beautiful effects. The last girl i dated hated videogames except she LOVED the Sims. It actually got me into teh Sims for awhile (well, a combination of her and some high-grade smokeables got me into the Sims) but after a month i came to my senses. Hey, i'm playing DOLL HOUSE!
