¿Question #4623?
Gialmere: True Life Gaming: Have you ever opened a new game then held the box to your face and took a big whiff of the contents as though you were savoring a fine perfume?

the manatee: Yes. Especially if it was a new-in-shrink game.
Michael Dorosh: Yes, but it's far more varied an experience to do it with used games you get on ebay.
Woelf: Who hasn't?
drmark64: Yes
monteslu: Yup
aramis: Yes.
Toasty: Unfortunatley, I did this with Drakon and the tiles smelt of vommit!
arkibet: no
jakal323: Yes. Guilty. Get the cameras out of my house. :D
daveroswell: rarely but yeah
joebelanger: Every time, every time.
vandemonium: Yep sure have. Sad innit?
TheBosZ: Yes
Blade Spirit: No, not with games...but I have with books...:)
ZeroZilla: I've done it, but not with the idea of savoring... I just like to experience things.
gypsychk: Totally.
DHEK: Nope. Although I've enjoyed the ambient air that comes out of a brand new game box (much like how it is with a new computer or computer components), I don't go and take a deep whiff.
Shredder: yes
Tall_Walt: No.
Butterbane: Yes. I am so ashamed.
Timicus: Sadly that new cardstock smell is too great to resist.
onky: I'm afraid so.
mrspank: Yes, I love the smell of new games and new books.
sdonohue: Yes.
Blind Reality: No but I came close
SiddGames: Not quite.
Ebon Wendigo: Oh yeah
greglios: Yeah all the time!
southseasnurse: Hell, yes!
Godeke: Yes. However, the plastic and print of newer games lack the dry sweetness of a few years back.
FrozenHoHos: No, but I used to do that with "ditto machine" copies.
Shotmagnet: every time
Nekura: Yes. Mmmm - printer's ink.
WatchmanX2000: yes
djlg: No. Many glue fumes are carcinogenic.
Csteb: Absolutely!
Megadev: Yes, I'm afraid so.
Gregol: Um no, sorry the smell of POLYMETHYLMETHACRYLATE does not do it for me.
Kazin: No, But I do open new boxed very gently.
Sandman1973: Um, Nope!
skrutsch: Suzy has, not Scott.
bigbadsteve: absofrigginlutely
billgoode: Yes, of course. I think most geeks cherish the new game smell.
flyinghogfish: Hell, yes. Every time (unless it's second hand)
Loquutus: Yes, although it reminds me too much of the CCG days.
shizzane: No. I'm sane.
Recneps: It's my secret shame.
POvidiusNaso: Never.
ZombyDawg: yup
beakermyers: No, but I have been known to get excited enough, punching out bits, that I fall asleep immediately thereafter. Those are THE best naps in the world!
kimapesan: nnnnnnooooo....... um, don't come near me, please........
ctalbot: No.
vynd: No
puffinge: no but I've done that with monkey butts
BaSL: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Dr. No: no, only do this with books
scriptorum: I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it reveals disturbing personality elements.
phantomvortex: Doesn't everyone.
GrandpaDave: Yes...
Randy Cox: Probably so. I used to like to sniff mimeograph copies in school, too.
Tushratta: Yes. I do it with new books, too. It's so sad.
dakarp: Uh, that one is new to me.
Dave: Yes. Just did last night, in fact.
consolewa: Every time I get a new game I have this experience. I think I'll market a cologne of that scent, or an air freshener. Come to think of it, it's only palatable in short bursts.
skelebone: Sure not.
CDRodeffer: Not that I recall.
Lord_Prussian: Yes
chaddyboy_2000: Uhhh, no.
Spielfreak: All the time! The new-game smell doesn't last too long -- you gotta experience it as much as you can.
jttm: Yes
CortexBomb: No
dietevil: No... but I've savored a perfume as if it were a fine game...
