--- Quote from: ahofle on October 13, 2010, 10:38:35 am ---I'm a sucker for cooperative online games, so just about everything I play on the PC (Borderlands, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2) involves friends.  Pretty much the only time I play alone is on consoles (Wii/XBOX360), mostly because I can't stand to play those types of games with a gamepad.

I'm exactly the same way.

Yeah, I feel I enjoyed playing with my siblings amd mother on the NES, when friends came over even solo games seemed interesting.  I only had one friend who actually enjoyed playing RPGs and taking turns.  That's was pretty great, but in general RPGs were a solo affair.  Once in college I found my self playing mostly competitive games.... FIFA, Halo 2, Street Fighter alpha 3, snk vs cap 2, burnout.  I lived with a bunch of guys and they always smack talked, and this made it fun to me. There was this one guy though I met recently who i tried playing Halo 3, but his smack talk was too ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- up. I'd die and he'd say something like, "You ---smurfing--- worthless piece of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, you thinking of playing sometime or keep dying?" and I had just met the guy. i was used to gloating, put downs, cursing, all that.. but for some reason this guy was a completely different person and took it too far.  I think it was because I took the tank he wanted or something. We were playing cooperative.

I'm almost finished with my cabinet, so I can't wait to invite people over.

Mostly with friends.  Even though most of the arcade games are 1 player, there is something about talking smack or sharing a high score with buds. 

Unfortunately, also like many others here have mentioned, many of my friends are "grown-up" with families and kids.  Still about every 3-4 months I get a small group of 5 or 6 of us together for a game night.  Speaking of, it's about that time of year again.  ;D  Sides you haven't played NFL Blitz (PC Version) until you've played it on a 105" screen.  (1. Yes that was a self serving brag. 2. What good are all our toys if we can't brag once in a while.)  :dunno

Online and competitive play are the only two aspects of gaming that I have NOT wholly embraced. I like my games single player, and if there's an online mode, I ignore it entirely - there's no point to playing it if it doesn't get you anywhere closer to the end of the game!

That said, I do tend to be a more solitary person overall, so it's no wonder that aspect of my life influences my gaming habits.

I would play more stuff online if my friends had the same games as me. I'm not as big on playing against random strangers. I did upgrade to gold on live yesterday, so maybe I'll try to play more online.
