    I ignore the devil transformation in the Devil May Cry Games . At the end of of the first game Dante transforms to fight the final boss and I said "Oooohh yyeeeahhh!".

    I also completely ignore stat boosting items. I'll sell them and buy better equipment. Do I really need a "Resist Poison - 8%?

    And of course I hoard gold for no reason (I'm like that in arr-ell). I pick up every item dropped that's worth more than five moneys, sell the items and keep the best for myself. I remember my last Diablo II character was level twenty-five with over one hundred and seventy thousand gold.

    Here's the most wrong thing I've done in a game:

    Sims online (yeah, yeah I know - its a shitty game if you can call it a game at all).
    No combat, no real griefing available, in fact really not much you can do in the game. You just go around visiting people's houses and socializing. You can eat their food and play on their toys/work areas. It was a pretty horrible way to spend time.

    So I figured out you could train your character in his bathroom habits, ie. I trained my character to never flush the toilet. Well early in the game if you had 2 characters (or the same character twice) take BMs in the same toilet without a flush between them it would have a good chance to 'break' the toilet. You'd either have to have the repair skill and time to fix it, or you'd have to call a repair man (which cost $). Even if it didn't break the toilet, it was a stinky mess to cleanup.

    So I'd spend my time going to strangers houses, eating their food and taking monster craps in their toilets, eating more food (eating food made you have to go to the bathroom), and taking more craps, never flushing. I made it a game to see how many toilets I could break before being asked to leave.

    Yes. Clearly there was no real griefing.

    I played, or I am playing Unreal Gold without running it in compatibility mode. For those who don't know what this does, it basically runs the game at übercrack speeds. The game actually feels sluggish in normal mode so we shall see how far I get.

    My wife has been playing Mr Driller Online for three weeks and getting increasingly frustrated with the 1000m Egypt level, which appeared impossible until tonight when she figured out that the treasure chests drop items and that you can use those items to refill your air, drill faster etc., at which time she beat the impossible 3-week level second try.

    Sounds like last year's Christmas holidays at the GF's for me.

    I would call that griefing, but it is the best griefing ever.

    I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.

    I have a bad habit of playing through every Final Fantasy game and "saving" my mega elixirs, mega potions, etc. and then realizing I just beat the game without using any of them. Sigh.

    This. I do this with every RPG I play for some reason. Then when I watch my gf or someone playing an rpg and using all of the consumable items all willy nilly, for some reason I can feel something inside me screaming.

    Haha! Me too. In any RPG I always save all items that seem slightly valuable.
    I never use skill enhancing items either, because I'm afraid I will regret buffing up the wrong skills. Same goes for manual skill level ups.

    The first time I played FFVII I beat the game without getting Vincent and Yuffie.

    Erm...... Not doing the main quest in Oblivion? That counts right?

    No, I think that focusing exclusively on the main quest of Oblivion would be doing it wrong.

    No playing the main quest at all (past a certain basic point) is doing it wrong because it fucking sucks and the only value oblivion has to offer exists outside of the horrendous story.

    I know someone who didn't know his PS3 controller could function without the charging cord. The also had his PS3 connected to his HDTV through composite cables. He fixed this problem by buying an 80 dollar HDMI cable.

    That's a lot of wrong.

    lol, my best friend did the same thing!

    I thought I was playing it wrong by ignoring the story after the introduction and stealing horses/murdering my way across the countryside, but then I got into that Brotherhood of Evil or whatever. That was pretty cool. I stopped playing once I realized that my badass weapon of magic death+55 wasn't making it any easier to fight mountain lions.

    So I guess I did it completely right, at least for a 360 Oblivion player.
