Gaming Ironies

[Ayen]

What are some of your gaming ironies? I don't mean games you played where something ironic happens, I mean something ironic with your relationship with games. I'll use myself as an example:

I grew up on the Sega Genesis. It's my favorite console ever and I used to play it ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the time as a kid.

Sonic is Sega's flagship and is to Sega what Mario is to Nintendo.

The only Sonic game I played on the Genesis was Sonic 3 and that was it. I wouldn't play any of the other Sonic games until long after Sega stopped making consoles. I spent more time on other games.

Irony.

Your turn.

I have never understood the meaning of the word irony. No-one yet has been able to explain it to me properly.

Ahh, now it makes sense. You might say it's like a free ride that you just didn't take?

I play video games, but don't really find them that fun or interesting. Irony.

I wear shorts when I go the swimming but they aren't very comfortable. Irony.

See, I can do it too.

[Loony BoB]

In a lot of games, there are Iron Swords, Iron Helms and other such things made of iron, or things that are similar to iron. Irony.

At least swimming has a dual purpose of being healthy exercise. :p

I hate golf in real life, but I can't get enough of golf games.

[Pumpkin]

I don't much care about fashion (a bit, but not much), I hate clothes shopping, and I can barely be bothered to dress myself everyday

But man do I love dress up games

Irony: Active on a RPG forum.

Rarely plays RPGs.

I don't think I have one but my brother did buy a Sega Dreamcast and used it primarily to emulate old Nintendo games.

Your brother wins the thread.

In a similar situation, I own an original X-Box with a hard drive full of games.

None of which are X-Box games.
