Gaming

Whatever kinds of game you play, fire away.
I started playing AD&D about 25 years ago. I'm a huge fan of pen and paper or table top RPGs, but I don't get to play much any longer. Now I occasionally run a PBTRPG (play by text rpg) with friends from my old college group.

I love video games, too, but I don't get much time to play. The big exception is school breaks, so for Xmas I picked up a PS4 and The Evil Within. I just beat it, and I'm curious as to whether other people have played it or have any PS4 suggestions.

I enjoyed the game immensely, and it was the most frightening game I've ever played.

 

I love pen and paper RPGs with friends been playing for many years back when I was in LA, but not so much since I've been in CT. Since moving out here I play Warmachine Tactics and Devinity on the PC with them online.

I also love tabletop miniature gaming. I love to paint minis and play Warhammer 40K and Warmachine. Geeky and a s*** ton of fun.

 

So many people into League. I've never gotten into it, but I would probably be hooked if I did.

 

I don't play, but my son has every console and the only thing he plays is League of Legends. He's rated in the top 10%. For as much as he plays, he should be top 5.

I've watched him a few times. Not sure what the fascination is.

 

This is true. I have a friend that was ranked #1 in the world with Zangif in Street Fighter and he made bank with it. You can really make a lot of money playing in tournaments, so if he's going to be playing anyway, your son might as well get something from it @John3:16

 

He's top 10%, which means about 2 to 3 million people are better than him. LOL. Some colleges are giving scholarships and forming teams. I asked him if he was interested and he said he's not good enough.

It's crazy how many people play this game.

 

Cool stuff on your son @John3:16 . It's a pretty cool accomplishment to be that good at such a popular game.

I've never heard of that game though... I had to look it up and I'm thoroughly impressed with those numbers now. I'm under a rock most of the time with games.

I'm good at board games! I'm an awesome Stratego player. I've got some good Monopoly strategies. The last video game I played was Last of Us. I have Destiny and I never play it. I have Mortal Kombat which is always classic.

I have some of the Wii games for the family kids. Those are always fun. I am absolutely TERRIBLE at any Mario game except Mario 64.

I think that's about it for me.

 

I have not bought either the PS4 or XBO. I still have a 360 and play it some. I usually play RPGs like Skyrim, Fallout, etc. with some COD mixed in. The new COD is really bad. I went back to Black Ops 2.

 

That's my favorite game.

I have a few strategies I use. I love introducing it to people who have never played. Not very popular and dying off. I can never find it at Toys R Us, but Amazon usually has it.

 

It's gotten really pricey, but I found it recently at Barnes and Noble. Probably cheaper on Amazon I don't know why I hadn't thought about it. There's also an free online game site that has it so you can play people online. It's a really underrated game I don't know why it's dying off really.

 

Where do you play online? I'd love to do that.

I found it a few years back. Not everyone is a master, but there's plenty of good players on there.

 

Strategos was my favorite game as a kid until I started playing Chess and Risk came out. I'm going to check out that online version for old times sake. Man I had some fun with that game.

 

What is Agricola?

And thanks for the recommendations! When I get a chance I'll try those out.

 

Your link takes you to a restricted to spot, but I'll look into the game a bit. Thanks!
