mount and blade warband. i'm still impressed by how sound that game is, if not a bit basic. mods fill in the spaces left by the developers, but holy cow. the music is fantastic, the premise is fantastic, the mechanics are superb, everything about that game inspires me.

None, really. I used play the odd game of League but I recently knocked a cup of tea over my mouse and fried it.

I play video games occasionally but more so the multiplayer games where I can create my own experiences with friends rather than some shitty poorly written story (that doesn't even suit the format of video games)

[Anonymous No.5877559]

Hotline miami, Mark of ninja, Postal 2 A Week in Paradise, Hitmans, I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, Door kickers, little of EYE and This War of mine, skyrim sometimes when I don't want to think/play something hard.

Splitting my time between Sm4sh and HoMM 3. I wish there were more maps for the latter. My favorite game is Baldur's Gate 2

MGS, but I haven't gotten to play 4 yet

MGR, my sister's watching me go through it a couple levels at a time cause she's shit at it but wants to see how it goes)

Dark Souls is my general time waster

Lost Kingdoms 1/2 and Custom Robo are the ones my brother and I like replaying ad naseum.

Silent Hill 1-4 is my all time favourite franchise.

I play LoL but agree it's a goddamn waste of time.

[Anonymous No.5877706]

I used to be way more into the medium, even played a few games competitively, but now I just stick to CounterStrike: Global Offensive with friends here and there.

Anyone around MG2-DMG level in NA feel free to reply and I'll add you and we can play.

>I play LoL but agree it's a goddamn waste of time.
I like the mindgames in LoL, the whole ordered team-unit bit. Not that it's not still mostly a waste of time, though, but there are elements in it that can have real-life application.

[Anonymous No.5877745]

>>5877729
They're fun but they're hardly real-world applicable. The only thing LoL has done for me after four years and ~3.8k games is helped my ability to deal with fucking stupid people ruining everything for the rest of us.

Protip: There's huge pressure at the beginning of the game, each team member worrying about being the first to die, to let down their team - you gotta nip that in the bud fast or when (if) one of your teammates does die first, the others will generally follow him in a mix of just giving themselves to the reduced pressure/really easing off.

>>5877745
Meh. They are somewhat real-world applicable. Teams are a big thing and LoL really captures them in at-home recreation.

Wow is that true ?
That's fucking sad
Do you think you are part of a elite community or something? At least with litterateur the pros are revered for their knowledge. Pro gamers are viewed as losers who never go outside.

That said I did enjoy fallout 3 when it came out and will probably pic up 4

Probably meant funnier, not more fun.

I play games a lot still but I don't enjoy them. Its a horrible habit. I might sell my consoles and games and get a year of gym membership with the money.

The Yakuza series is my favourite.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_game

>Deus Ex Machina[45] (1985, Mel Croucher, ZX Spectrum/C64/MSX) - Based on "The Seven Ages of Man" from the Shakespeare play, As You Like It, this game charts the life of a defect as it evolves within the machine from inception, through growth, and eventually death.

>SOD[6] (1999, Jodi, PC) - An aesthetic art game hinting at private emotion by deconstructing Wolfenstein 3D, turning it into a Kafka-esque series of abstract black, white, and grey images where it is difficult to determine what to shoot.

>The Intruder[4] (1999, Natalie Bookchin, PC) - Low-art elevated to "high art" in a retro setting. An experimental adaptation of Jorge Luis Borges' 1966 short story, "La intrusa" where two brothers fall in love with the same woman and decide to kill her to resolve their conflict. In the game, players must compete for the female in a Pong setting and then act out aggressive behavior in a first-person shooter setting to progress. The piece invites gamers to see how popular games perpetuate masculine ideologies of spacial conquest, combat fantasies, and sexual domination.

>The Endless Forest[30] (2005, Tale of Tales, PC) - Originally commission for an art exhibition, The Endless Forest is an MMO in the broader sense of the word. As a stag, you roam around the forest and interact with other players; though not by words, but by sounds and body language. Players are recognizable by their unique symbol and customized appearance, but are otherwise anonymous.

>Antichamber (formerly Hazard: The Journey of Life)[147] (2013, Alexander Bruce, PC) - A first-person puzzle-platformer exploring non-Euclidean geometry.

That's like comic book writers calling their work "graphic novels," i.e. just a quick and easy way to try to legitimise the craft. It's called video games.
