Default Any PC Gamers here?

I've seen some people mention gaming in their posts, and wondered how many gamers (real games, aka PC games, excluding solitare ) there are in this community and what games you play. I play Day of Defeat (a Half-Life mod) pretty much exclusively. I tried out some games my brother had (Mafia, Hitman 2), but I didn't really like them. I do enjoy playing American Conquest sometimes though. I had GTA Vice City, and beat it, but my brother lost one of the CDs, so I have to get it again, that was a great game, especially the soundtrack. I usually play for at least an hour every school day, then a lot more on the weekend (with no social life I have plenty of time to game :roll: ).

The poll says "I just play when I'm bored" but for me, it should say, "I just play when I can." When you have 2 little kids and a wife, it's difficult to spend time gaming. Nowadays, most of my gaming is done on the iPaq since gaming on the PDA is more compatible with my schedule and family life.

FPS pretty much rule the gamescape these days, and I look back when I first played Doom in college. But now that I'm almost 35, I can't play FPS anymore...I mean physically. I get nauseated even when I slow down the movement. I don't know how I got through Allied Assault but the last 4 FPS that I've tried, I got nauseous. :cry:

So now I stick to games less intense. It's sad but of course, when Doom 3 hits the streets, I'm gonna give FPS games another go. Can't miss this one.

I said 2-4... but that's not quite accurate. Lately it's 0. I'd LIKE to play 5-7. But I still wouldn't consider myself a "gamer".

Used to play CS quite a lot, but it is soo timeconsuming. I also like RTCW and other FPSs.

Recently I was sticking to pocketpc games because it allowed me to continue playing as time permitted me.

Then my kids got me to buy them Yugioh! for the pc. It is a computer version of the card game that the kids are playing. My kids (7 & 4yrs old) enjoy it because it is turn based so they can follow the action.

What makes it addictive is that every time you win a match, you are awarded 1 to 3 new cards. This allows you to improve your deck even more.

This has led to moments when me and the kids are on the computer past bedtime trying to win that last match for the day...

I play most CRPGs now. I used to play multiplayer every Sunday for a few hours with a buddy of mine, then his wife had a baby and no more fun time for him... :? So now I play alone. :roll:
