ADD for Gamers

You may have noticed that I updated my sidebar to reflect each game that I'm playing on a different console. That's because, try as I might, I cannot stay fixed on just one game. I am doing better about staying true to one game per system at a time (in my neverending quest to actually finish games), but I just can't decide what I want to play and when.

Here's the basic outline of how this goes.

The Xbox is in my living room, super comfy to play here and a pretty good size tv, though not HD. (I know, I'm a single mom, give me a break). However, mini-zombie bogarts the Xbox all the time for her Netflix (we don't have cable) so this is often off limits until late at night.

Laptop is where I get cheap cheap games through the awesome and wonderful Steam. However, I am still not a computer gamer. I prefer the console. Having wireless controllers, buttons and not mice, and being able to sprawl out a distance away from my screen. But... cheap! And a few titles are sorta laptop specific (mostly my MMOs) so it's a necessity.

Online games are just that. Rarely are they my favorite, but they are my best way to play with my buds. It's when I'm in a social mood and can't leave the house because Bean is asleep.

PS3 is in my bedroom, on my not-so-big but totally HD tv. I can lounge in bed and play these games, plus there are quite a few PS3-only games so it was a must.

I also have a Wii. I almost never play it. Right now, it's usually used to entertain kids (Mario Party) or to play my favorite Gamecube games.

DS is just that. I don't really like handhelds, but again it's a necessity for certain games and my little Bean loves it. Usually it belongs to her, so I rarely get a chance to play it.

I also own a PSP, but no actual games for it. One day, Birth by Sleep will be mine.

So that's the idea. I'm ADD and have pretty much every modern system. I don't want a DS3D right now, I'm not a fan of 3D, so don't feel like you need to point this out to me. I know.

Braaaaiiiinnnn food: What is your favorite system and why?
