I seem to suffer from terminal Bioware games addiction! I don't know what it is about them, but I simply can't stop playing them again and again and again!! I DREAD to think of the hours of my life I've spent playing BG1,ToTSC,BG2,IWD,HoW,NWN and IWD2! I've played some of them through what must be 15-20 times and I still enjoy them! I enjoy other games like Counter Strike (always a classic), Championship Manager, UT2003 etc but non of them appeal to me anywhere near as much as the games Bioware produce. My girlfriend literally has to tear me away from them so I can actually spend some time with her LOL!, and (as incredibly sad as it is) I sometimes feel like playing these games until the early hours on Fri and Sat nights instead of going to the pub with my mates!! (much to their disgust!). They literally have to force me to go out sometimes!

AAARrrrggghhh what the hell is their secret ingredient??!!!??

Is anyone else contaminated with this dreadful disease ?

Actually, I went through a phase like that but decided long ago that my fiancee and friends were more important than games, so I play when I get free time or my friends and fiance play with me in multiplay sometimes. Mainly it's a matter of finding time to PLAY for me these days!

I haven't played much, lately, what with the holidays and all, but I think it no coincidence that all my favorite games come from Bioware, Now if I could only get some of David Geider's nail clippings.

Friends and Fiancee's come and go, but your games will stick with you through thick and thin! Games will never cheat on you or judge you!

NHL 2003 and the occasional foray back into BGII and NWN and that pretty much sums it up.
As for purring, that would just keep my awake at night and annoy me, and my dogs do a pretty good job of keeping my nice and toasty, although I could live without the drooling
