I'm bored so I thought I'd take loads of people in the forums and suggest what games they like just because of their names. Remember I have really no idea of what games people like as I don't really notice.. :). So I am just guessing based on what your names like. People like Dan2k weren't done as they didn't have unusual names that I could do anything with unlike Ant. Also some people I just couldn't do... if you know what I mean. Tell me if I'm right with any of them... it would be interesting.

Ant - a very simple creature maybe simple in choice of games. I think it can be said he likes a range of games none in particular.. whatever takes his fancy.

Fantasymeister - RPG games with a fantasy world feel to them ie. final fantasy.

Meka Dragon - RPG games again I am led to believe.

Grix Thraves - a hard one. A complicated name so maybe he's a bit picky about what games he likes. I'm guessing he's very critical of games and notices all of their bad points. ie. He will only play good games with good graphics - basically all the top notch ones.

Sniper - I'm guessing shoot em ups :)

M16 - Shoot em ups again.. :)

Time Warp - A hard one but RPGs I think. However I think he'd like more action/adventure ones.

Turbonutter - Racing games? Maybe a fan of the likes of games like Grand Theft Auto and Crazy Taxi.

Goatboy - Goats get a common mention in communities like Counter-strike and Quake so I'm guessing he's a fan of online first person shooter games.

er-no - Another hard one... but I reckon he is picky like Grix about which games he plays. They have to be near perfect or Er-no will flip.

Your Honour - Gives all games a fair chance but in the end either likes them or doesn't and is critical when he doesn't.

Sheepy - God sims I'm thinking like Black and White.. also maybe likes platform games?

RastaBillySkank - I'm guessing he likes wrestling games but probably doesn't like the sport. He's a hard one.

Armitage Shanks - It has to be shoot em up games I'm sure. He's into blowing stuff up big time.

Monkey with Attitude - the likes of Black and White please Monkey with attitude.

SXPro - sport games

Jet - flight games where you get to attack things kind of like in Rouge Squadron I'm guessing.

Darkness2k - Darkness likes any type of game but does like games with a dark sinister feel.. he also likes mysterious games where you don't know something but find it out if you know what I mean. Probably likes Resident Evil I wouldn't know.

Were my predictions better than Mystic Megs? Were they ??? They weren't? Damn I'm bad.. :D

Nope. I've never played the game and never want to.. I just adopted the name. So you have me completely wrong. I'm more a shoot em up freak... like you in fact. :D

I'm guessing you are probably a hardcore gamer that has played nearly every game. However I think you are a fan of handhelds and won't go on holiday without one. You probably have got a Gameboy Advance - probably as soon as they came out.

My nickname actually comes from my E-mail address. [email protected] . If anyone sees the name "turbonutter" around the net, chances are it's me.

That's one at least :) The turbo was like speed and I thought the nutter bit might mean you liked mad racing games where you run people over etc. :)

Ok from your various names I'm guessing you are very picky of which games you like. You probably like fast games and dark scary games but are very hard to please!
