I’ve always been a sucker for board games like Catan, but when it comes to video games, I’m hooked on anything that challenges my brain. Lately, I’ve been spending way too much time on math playground, haha. They’ve got some cool logic games that keep me entertained when I need a break from the usual stuff. What about you, any favorite games that make you think?

Are you talking about the RTS with tanks and howitzers, oil wells and energy bars?

If so, yes. Kind of a trite story, but interesting gameplay. The "New Paradigm" voice-overs were nice. "You are in contravention of the New Paradigm."
yes.
everyone else says "call of duty?"

Yeah, the kids at w*rk were talking about Warzone 2100 and I thought they were talking about something that involves planning. I was quickly disillusioned.

I'm more campaign than PvP though. The online Warzone 2100 players have become so meta that newbies don't have a chance. With the tricks they use, even the game devs would be wasted before they knew what happened.

I'd play card and board games if I had people to play with. Haven't played them in years, so can't really say any are a favorite.

I play some PC games, but I'm not a "gamer". I'm not the most talented player.
Story heavy games can bore me. I'm there to kill things. Serious Sam was my kind of game 😂
I don't like online games anymore. I played WoW for 15 years and got really tired of the people. Since I'm not a great player most people would be frustrated with me or just leave me behind. And too much can't be done solo.
I enjoyed Skyrim a lot, as many have. Mostly prefer to play as some kind of caster. Sometimes as a sneaky type.
Mostly played casters in WoW too.
I prefer shooting games to have more futuristic or something not common. Fallout 4 was fun, for example.
Also don't much enjoy straight shooting games usually. I like extra powers or other things as well. Mass Effect Andromeda, for example. Though, yes, the story heaviness of it got old fast.
Only game I'm currently playing is Minecraft. I like the building/creative aspect to it, even though I'm not very good at it.

Skyrim is so broken. I got four pieces of gear that each had minus 25% destruction magic cost, and ran around throwing fireballs at everything for free.

Yeah. There were all kinds of ways to get around limitations on that game. Like the helmet and stone boosts (blanking on what they're called at the moment) with rezzing. Kill stuff, rez it, kill something else, take the helmet off and put it back on, rez the old and new stuff. Wait 24 hours to use the stones affect again. Bypass all rez limitations. Could get an army of just about everything, plus whatever you could summon. Was crazy.

Ritual Stone and aetherial crown. I remember that trick. The spiffing Brit covered it, so I tried it myself. Totally broke the game. Again.

I tried it combined with a popular mod that turned you into a lich. After a few minutes the whole game crashed and crashed every time I tried to load that character in. So that was a waste.
And yes, those are the names I was searching for haha.
