Assuming we're talking about video games, here: I like to go in cold, and figure everything out for myself. Which is not to say that I'm above using things like walk-throughs and cheat codes if A) I'm horribly stuck,or B) I've gone through the game, and want to do it over and get every single thing, just to be OCD about it.
Been wanting to play video games lately, too - haven't done that in MONTHS. Well, except for Deb's Wii, but that's different. That's a social thing, not sitting around wearing a hole in the couch and getting thumb cramps.
By the way? I am SO FUCKING TIRED OMFG.
