I played more Binding of Isaac this past year on Switch than I'm willing to admit...

I played the first Animal Crossing a lot.

Both of the games mentioned so far are really good games. Are you ashamed because you played so many hours or that you played a bad game more than you should?

It's not a bad game but I'm ashamed that I played it more than any other game on Switch. I guess it's the simplicity. I can pick it up and set it down so easily.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

All the Maddens. I can get so hooked on these stupid games. I play online matches and get pretty good (I broke the top 20 in the world several times) and get so competitive it can be enraging. I almost broke my controller once. Madden is maddening. I'm taking a long break for now.

What was the last one you played? I got burnt out on football games.

Because it's so cutesy. I was never ashamed to play a bad game.

It's very cutesy. That Tom Nook is an asshole though.

I hope the future Switch Animal Crossing mixes up the formula a bit. It's pretty much been the same game since the Gamecube version.

I also play every new one and make a new franchise. Currently rocking out the Bills. Love their uniforms.

I don't believe in "guilty pleasures" but Soldier of Fortune: Payback comes to mind

I always feel like I could have been doing something more productive. I'm obsessive with games though. I can't just play for an hour and then put it down.

Are you an obsessive collector in well in games?

I'm kinda like this too. I rationalize it by reminding myself I have to be extroverted at my both my jobs and it's much-needed me time, but I also think I just like the escapism. The real world sucks a lot of the time.
