I use it mostly in games I am just trying to beat (usually cause I never beat it the first time around, and as such I am curious).sometimes it might be because of a glitch I heard about and want to try, which takes practice.

I rarely use them, I only do if I'm near the end of a battle in Fire Emblem or something and i have to go out or something!

I almost always use them, only when I'm near a save point if I want to quit I use the normal way.

i do remember one thing.
it took hours and hours but.
by the time i was done with it.
i was so involved. i didn't even know what to think.
i carried it around with me for days. and days.
playing little games.
like. not looking at it for a whole day.
and then. looking at it.
to see if I still liked it.
i did.

I try not to use them because I want to try to play without "cheating".

I use them instead of regular saves.Yeah, I know, it's dumb, but hey, I'm lazy.On the other hand, I use regular saves whenever I quit a game that I don't really care about beating.

I use it if I feel that theres danger of me dying quickly such as sometimes in megaman zero, I also use it when theres a time limit, but mostly not that much

Heh, Almost every few seconds I use them >_<I guess if you look at it, it would be cheating, especially if you use it in a way where you can get perfect attacks(like the 100 jumps on mario and the 7 stars), or finding the right path, without too many battles, or avoiding death...Oh well :lol:

I use the save states, but only because my emulators messed up and it won't save games using their normal save points.

All the time - it's cheating basically, but I do that a lot too. Anytime something comes along that I'm likely to screw up, I save, every time I do something that I'd rather not have to do again, I save, and I record 4 or 5 save states before a boss fight. I wish there were save states in real life...

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."


"You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on..."
