Today's prompt is fromlilfluff: Your favorite games
Ooh!
I like games, although I am not the board game fanatic that some of my friends are. I grew up playing gin rummy with my dad, Uno with my grandmother, Yahtzee with family & Monopoly whenever I could get people to play with me. My first fiance and I played Pente a lot, and he made a stab at teaching me chess, but i have little patience for strategy.
And, of course, I'm a gamer, so there's things like World of Darkness - Vampire, Werewolf, Changeling, etc., in primarily Live-action but also tabletop forms. I'm facinated by EarthDawn/ShadowRun but have never played them. And, while we're talking about roleplaying, I enjoy playing in my own settings most of all.
Computer games: I try not to get too involved, or I lose months. I liked Flight Rising until they were mean to Djinni, at which point I lost interest completely. I was utterly into Glitch until they folded, much sadface all around. And currently I'm into FarmVille, much to my enjoyment and consternation.
Games! I like playing Scrabble with my husband, although he almost always wins. And we've been playing Carcasonne lately, and I really enjoy that a lot.
I suppose "my favorite" game is the one I'm into at the moment, whatever moment that might happen to be.

Date: 2014-12-16 08:21 pm (UTC)I definitely have a pattern of getting obsessed - the last were Pokemon, followed by Fantasy Life (which is the first videogame in which I LIKED the story, possibly because stretches of time where you were free to explore were built-in, and/or because no-one in the entire game was evil), and then, nothing. I've had the most recent Pokemon game for 2 or 3 weeks and haven't started it yet.
I loved the forum-based, rules-free, original-setting RPG I was involved in years ago, but the other writers wandered away.
And I think I'd really like to have the nerve to invite people for boargames regularly, but my friends tend to live overseas, or at least on the other end of the country. @_@
