25 Things Every Gamer Should Do Before They Die.
Corak | 4:18 PM on 04.16.2008 25 comments


Not my list, it came from gamedaily.com. I came across it during my usual internet browsing today. I'm not sure if its been posted before, I did a search and didn't see it. If it has, whatever. The list is as follows for those of you who don't want to click the link below, but if you do I promise there is a hot girl pic with #2 on the list so its not all bad.

http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/galleries/the-bucket-list-25-things-every-game-player-should-experience-before-they-die/

1. Beat Portal
2. Buy a dedicated MAME cabinet -- or build your own
3. Get into a press conference
4. Visit an arcade in Japan
5. Dress up like a video game character and walk around in public
6. Play a game for more than 24-hours
7. Take a sick day for a game release
8. Play as a female character in an online game and flirt relentlessly
9. Work on your own dedicated video game blog or site
10. Import a game
11. Test out the Rez Trans-vibrator on yourself
12. Try and ask out a girl using a video game pick-up line
13. Perform something cool in Super Mario Bros
14. Unlock the super-hard Tofu Survivor game
15. Spend more than $100 on a video game item/system on Ebay
16. Rent a game just to get Achievement Points
17. Create your own level in a video game
18. Become an expert at Guitar Hero or Rock Band
19. Destroy an accessory or a game console
20. Wait in line for a video game or hardware release
21. Score some form of headshot in a first-person shooter
22. Miss human activities just to finish a video game
23. Perform some near-impossible superhuman feat in a game
24. Defeat a professional gamer with a super-simple technique
25. Beat the Halo trilogy and then play it online at least once

So of this list I have done numbers, 1, 7, 10, 13, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24.

Some of them I'm not that hip to like dressing up as a video game character, again not my thing but if you ladies like to dress up as one I'm all for it.

I would love to buy or make my own arcade cabinet, and to visit an arcade in Japan.

Any others you think should get added? I'd add have sex while playing a video game, goes against the stigma that gamers don't get laid that much, but that is next on my list for sure.

#8 - What.
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
Who did you beat on #24?
Corak's Destructoid Blog
Played an old high school friend who used compete in fighting games like mortal combat and street fighter regionally. He was over at my house playing me in Street Fighter and I had him backed in a corner and was slowing getting his health down and he couldn't do anything. Its a great memory of mine. Although previous to that and after I lost terribly, but that one match I was king.

I have a friend with a female character in WoW, and he goes arounds virtually stripping. And gets gold for it.
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Um.. Liam, stay far away and don't ever speak to me again.
Iolaus's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, sure; you have a 'friend' ;)
You can tell us that it's you, we won't think any less of you.
Corak's Destructoid Blog
I wish I had the natural ability to compete like the pros do now, but the amount of time I'd need to get that good I just don't have. :)
Morrius's Destructoid Blog
Shit dude, that looks like my daily to do list.
Shin Oni's Destructoid Blog
for 14, you're talking about Resident Evil 2 right? cause if so...you might state that for those who dunno what you're talking about.

and come on. Most of us NES/Gennesis/SNES gamers have thrown our controllers more than enough to break it. Majority of us here should have that done.
ISOTEN's Destructoid Blog
i used a line from bully on one of my friends(its a girl) Its from when you try to kiss a boy and he says "Im hot, your hot.Lets make out"
mudkip5000's Destructoid Blog
lol, #8.

I've done that...people give you money like crazy.

2. Buy a dedicated MAME cabinet -- or build your own

Weak...Why aspire for that? Buy a REAL cabinet instead of a glorified PC.

"for 14, you're talking about Resident Evil 2 right? cause if so...you might state that for those who dunno what you're talking about."

It's in the description in the article I linked. Didn't think to put it in the list directly here and I'm to lazy to edit it in now as I'm about to leave work for the day. Good catch, and I think we know who's an RE fan. :)

"6. Play a game for more than 24-hours "

In a row?!
PsychoSoldier's Destructoid Blog
But I don't like teh Haloes
Scary Womanizing Pig Mask's Destructoid Blog
Good list, but I'll never do number 25, ever.
TrailerParkJesus's Destructoid Blog
I've done like three of those. Laymer.
Spartacus's Destructoid Blog
Screw number 25 - the rest of the list is going on my wall, above my bed.

Oh, and also screw number 8.
Revolt in Colour's Destructoid Blog
Let's see... I've done 1, 7, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 25.

That's 14/25. Not bad.
ceark's Destructoid Blog
I think I've done all but 5.
galagabug 's Destructoid Blog
wow, i'm in good shape. 'girl you give me pac-man fever! waka waka waka'
Genki-JAM's Destructoid Blog
lessee.. I've done...

1, 5 (Detective Gumshoe), 6 (if not 24 then close to it), 9 (Dtoid?), 10 (Bleach DS), 13 (haven't we all at this point?), 15 (My PS3 dumpster baby!! <3), 16 (Bullet Witch.. NEVER AGAIN!!!!! I stopped after the second part of the first level.), 17, 19 (destroyed a DC controller trying to fix it...), 20 (Wii.. twice.. and SSBB), 21 (BOOM! Easy.), 22, 23 (I think I vaguely remember doing one..), 24 (lol yes).

15/25 :P
Knives's Destructoid Blog
21/25 :O
phamtq's Destructoid Blog
I GUESS you could do #24 in a fighting game. But then again if you get beat by a single repeatable move, you're not really a professional are you?
amalgamut00's Destructoid Blog
I love when I make a female character on any MMO. The free crap you get, it's so funny.
