    [​IMG]GameDaily has come up with this wonderful list of things every gamer should do before they kick the bucket. Most of you will grin at the memories of at least one of them. Here's one of my personal favourites:

    12. Try and ask out a girl using a video game pick-up line.

    You're going to find rejection with a girl in one form or another, so you might as well have fun doing it. Walk up to one and ask her out by going "Elf needs food badly!" Go all out and try to charm one with "I need help, and you are my master of unlocking." Granted, you'll probably get slapped or have a drink thrown on you, but at least you can say you did it.

    The list is pretty fun to read, and you can grab it at GameDaily. Maybe it's time for an unofficial contest as to who's done the most? Post away!

    A good laugh. To my disappointment (well...), I've lots of work to do to get all 25 done before death.

    I don't know if it's not worse to have done a few of these. I guess I'm a no life.

    Done seven of... no, eight of them actually, since I've tried jokingly a game pick-up line.
    The Halo one I'll never do, I hate that game. Also, we don't have any big waiting in lines stuff in Luxembourg, games tend to be released randomly here.

    Don't think I've ever done a single one of these. The only one I've seriously considered is starting my own video game blog. However I have neither the time nor the patience at this time, but I may do that if I end up looking for a job and with a lot of free time as a result.

    Most of the stuff listed I would never even think of doing... but I have done a few less extreme ones.

    Headshot seems too easy for must-do-before-death category.

    Super Mario I haven't played in years (10-15), and even then I was usually Luigi. I did save the princess once :p

    Breaking a game accessory? Malfunctioned joypad. The right arrow is no longer working. Does smashing a Rubic cube count? :p

    Human activities disrupted... Sleep excluded... not really.

    One that I might do in the future (no idea when) is Portal. Sounds fun.

    I'm gonna quickly say this:

    Portal is one of the best games ever made. It is the ultimate in dark humor.

    Aw man, I have to ask out a girl? That's so unfair. My marriage would surely break up if I started doing things like that before I even get to the altar :p

    I'm pretty sure married straight women would also have a problem with that one! How inconsiderate of the straight guy who wrote this! :D
