Inside the mind of a Civ fanactic

[I_Self_Destruct]

As a little insight into the minds of my fellow Civ Fanatics, i was wondering if any of you 'chaps' (oh, its so great being english - i'll be signing my messages with 'tally-ho' next) would mind telling me what other games you like playing when you're not conquering the world.

To start off. here is a list of some other games that i play

Max Payne
X-Com Apocalpyse
M1 Tank Platoon II
Stronghold
Age of Empires II
Monkey Islands Series
Championship Manager (English Soccer Game)
Half Life
Dungeon Keeper II
Sim City

Peace

Golf. Anyway, the thread should be titled "Inside What's Left of the Mind of a Civ Fanatic."

All things Madden, since 1990.
Halo
Sim City
The Sims - but i don't like it enough to buy an expansion pack.
Close Combat.
All types of card games.

I don't have time for other games... But on occasion I'll play some Madden Football, or RPGs (ie forgotten realms). I also like real life games, you know... the kind that require fresh air and leaving the computer...

i usually play games in cycles. right now i'm playing civ, counter-strike and risk a lot.

i get warcraft 3 at 11:30 today (July Second) and i'll probably play that instead fo civ for a while. might as well start "fresh" when PTW comes out.

list:

FPS
Halo (Xbox, 16 player lan parties rock)
Traditional Half-Life DM
Team Fortress Classic
Firearms
Counter-Strike
Max Payne
Unreal Tournament

Hmmm... A lot of people seem to be playing Max Payne. Is it really good? I ask it because I generally don't like FPS, I only play RTCW because of its nostalgic value (to me, at least), and never liked Quake and its cohorts.

BTW, this thread will soon be moved.

There already is this exact thread in the Off-Topic forum.

Max Payne coz of the storyline: there's actually a good reason why Max goes around killing everyone, albeit a cliched reason.

If this thread does get moved to the OT, does that mean our thread count will go down?

That not the only place then ...

There's also essentially the same thread in this forum:
http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=54185

Shouldn't everyone be putting [+1 pc] at the end of all their posts in this thread?

The mods never come here, though, do they?

Pfft. Max Payne has no replay - Zero. People are probably just adding it cause they've played it before, I doubt that anyone would actually play that game on a regular basis.


As I said in the other thread which has the same topic, the only games that I am consistantly playing these days is Space Empires IV (PBEM), EU2, and Neverwinte Nights. (actually, I'm not really playing NWN a whole lot at the moment - I'm waiting for ALFA to get going, and a multiplayer game that I'm going to start with a group of people next week.)
