So I just came back from staying the New Year's at a friends beach-house down in the Outer Banks, NC. Before I packed up my clothes, iPod, and other toiletries, I looked to my desk to see my lonely Gameboy SP sitting on it. I went over and picked it up to discover that Pokemon LeafGreen was in it. Sensing a desire to play again, I put it in my pocket just in case.

The moment I got there, I and my 5 friends discover that no one brought a game console. Since we're all Gamers/College Students/4Channers etc. We were all dismayed at this fact. So we decided to pass the time by drinking and playing strip poker. I was bored and decided to start playing LeafGreen. I noticed I was at Misty's Gym and after getting my ass raped I decided to go on a grinding spree. Before I knew it, I was in Diglett's Cave, beating Lt. Surge's ass, getting seasick on the S.S. Anne, etc. I'm now in the Pokemon Tower getting freaked out by THE GHOST. I can't stop playing. What is wrong with me? Is it the accessibility of Pokemon? The engaging system of fighting and raising stats? The feeling of joy when your strategy of using Weepinbell's Wrap combined with Poisonpowder finally comes through for you? I have no idea. All I know is that I can't stop playing and I won't stop until I have every one of those cuddly bastards.

So Destructoid, am I alone or what? I know you guys have games that you thought you'd never play again but ended up getting sucked back into.
