That's only embarrassing if it made you stop.5. played DOOM a few days ago out of nostalgia, got motion sick and puked all over my desk and mousepad.
:fortressofregrets:Selling a 15 years in the making collection of original boxed games including gems like Darklands, Fallout, Monkey Island II, Dark Sun: Shattered Lands, Sam and Max, Torment: Planescape, Ultima 7, Buck Rogers: Countdown for Doomsday and countless more for mere scrap. Because I didn't have the room and could use the drinking money. Fucking asshole that I was.
When playing Wolfenstein on my dad's office 286. Couldn't get out of the 1st room as i didn't know how to open the door. Didn't know that there was such thing as options or even tried to use the spacebar.

There was a guy I was in a guild with in Ultima Online. It was mostly a PvP-oriented guild called D*C on Atlantic. Anyway, every time we would kill a bunch of players, there was this one guy who would almost always go hidden so that he could be AFK for a while. Plenty of people go AFK a lot in MMOs, mostly smokers or folks with tiny bladders. But this guy only ever did it after we had made some kills. There was a definite pattern to it. So I asked him about it. And then he explained that he found that killing other players almost always gave him an erection. So he got in the habit of, uh, taking care of the problem. And he further explained that after the first few months he could no longer get an erection any other way. So he then felt obligated to always take advantage of that situation because he was worried that even the stimulus of player killing may one day lose its effect. I was like 13 at the time and this guy's problem really blew my mind. I couldn't even respond.
I always wonder what happened to that guy and his problem. I left the guild when Ultima Online started imposing stat loss penalties on murderers. Did he find another game? Does he continue to participate in Ultima Online's now-limited PvP to this day? Has he just given it all up and suffered from erectile dysfunction for the last 15 years?

Sounds like RPG Codex material.
I'm planning to sell off a good chunk of my boxed PC collection later this year. I doubt I'll regret that either.
I recall another weird thing I did when I was a kid. I used to LARP flight sims (early 1990s DOS) with my brother
