Gaming Question

[oldmangrouch]

Just being curious/nosey.

Are all of you into computer gaming, or does anybody else prefer actual live interaction? (eg Star Trek Attack Wing, X-Wing, etc)

I would much rather war-game against a live opponent across a table. (Not that I get much chance anymore)

I only have two to four hours a week to play games. It's almost always League of Legends.

I have to agree with you, as I find it far more enjoyable to play in the same room. From the marathon risk games played as a kid to when they fell out of vogue in the mid eighties.

The modern game play is in some ways more convenient, but like any ninny net interaction, often one has to deal with people at their worst. The use of skype, ventrillo and interacting with known players is the way to go.

I love board games, my friends and I generally play them when we rent a house at the beach or at various peoples BBQ's, if they choose to bring them out. Catan, Pandemic, Game of Thrones, Battletech, etc.

However, in my free time, I play various PC games; Counter-Strike GO, Ghost Recon Phantoms, Insurgency, Mechwarrior Online, LoL, Divinity.

Next on my list, is Destiny on PS4.

Fucking Risk is worse than Monopoly. Those never ending games are so goddamn annoying.

When there is voice chat over just text chat, there does seem to be a marked improvement in civility.

Monopoly is a great way to learn how to hate board games.
