    Default Gaming Ironies

    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.

    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.

    Still one of my all-time favourite bits of stand-up.

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

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

    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
