I feel the same. I use guides when available but feel it makes having choices pointless. I just hate missing content and there are too many games to really play through the same one again (unless it really stands out).
Haven't noticed any threads about games with good comedy story/elements. I have played a few over the years, but can't remember what they were (played too many games I guess). Let me know if any come to mind.
Most games have pretty bland or cliche storylines, but some do stand out. I played a game a few years ago that had a really good story but can't remember what it was. It is bugging me now.
I have always liked the idea of going back in time for one day with no repercussions. So pick a day to go back to and do whatever the hell you want. Works for a large variety of pleasures.
