*I've moved this from the video games forum as the direction of discussion has moved away from games, but it's a good thread* Saz

 

Is it something that only I do , am I weird?

 

There is something about opening a new game and smelling the manual which I have always enjoyed doing, anyone else does this?

You're weird, no doubt.

New Game smell is great, just when you open the box after getting the shrink wrapping off and there is that slight plastic whiff that says "Five minutes after install you'll never see this disc again".

 

See Also: New Car Smell, New Carpet smell and New permanent marker smell...

You're a f'n weirdo too. I suppose you guys also like sniffing glue ;)

nope, petrol stations though, love the smell of petrol stations...

 

On a semi-related note I have a compulsion to removes those thin plastic protective strips they put on everything these days. You know the ones that stop screens and casings from getting scratched. Seriously it's like OCD, I do it to other peoples stuff as well......

It's something people do..

 

Not something people talk about.

 

And yes, it terms of general human behavior..it is weird.

the love that shall not be named! :D

The sight of a new CD and game on my shelf is good enough for me.

Yeah ok, fair enough. I dig the smell of brand new leather when I get a belt.

and the jocks?

They do say that first step on the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem, so I think you deserve some credit for doing just that.

Please, give up trying to incite Beltster, you're only making yourself look foolish.

To be fair, everyone loves a Scotsman.

Only vaguely related to this - my girlfriend loves the smell of old books.

 

Me - I love the smell of bacon, yum.

 

Let's get all our favourite smells into this great gaming thread :D

I LOVE the smell of bacon, and hot dogs, and BBQed meat, despite eating none of those things. When my girlfriend eats meat (oh stop it), I just sit in her kitchen, smelling it.

Heh-heh, nice euphemism, J-Rock.

Nail polish smells nice as well....
