What Guilty Gaming Pleasures Do You Enjoy?

Thanks to GamerDad for its editorial discussing some of the guilty pleasures involved in playing video games. The author, in trying to define why he enjoys games so much, rhapsodizes: "When 3D games run at a high framerate and wow me with effects, I'm drooling like any other graphics loving moron. I don't need them, but I do respect and admire them." He continues along this train of thought: "Another guilty pleasure is the need to blow things up. Why is it that's so damn liberating? I just love to see things go boom. Zombies, space ships, tanks, cars, buildings, robots, aliens, demons - but not often people, since I'm kinda squeamish with that." What's your guiltiest videogaming-related pleasure?

Teamkilling and causing wrecks in racing games. Running over teammates with tanks/vehicles, and then denying it, is entertaining. The old days of BF1942 was heaven for TKing.

Admit it - you all like to TK here and there occasionally, or have the desire to at least...
