Legend of Grimrock is second, but really Warband is my favorite game. :)

Should be an "other" option on the poll  :)
I like the Total War games before Empire, but yeah, M&B has got to be my favorite right now.

Warband Hands down.  :)  I played Skyrim last year for a while, but always came back to Warband. The mods make it the absolute best ;)

Doesn't the turn based thing make it less fun?

Meh, turn based doesn't bother me; but Xcom was WAY too expensive, and it was buggy. :-\

Um... what does turn based mean? :P
Title: Re: Your Favorite Videogame
Post by: Something unusual on August 24, 2013, 10:09:37 pm
Basically you take your "turn" and then press a button like "end turn" and then the next faction/player takes their turn   :)

I like turn based, It came way back to the GBA time with the good old Fire Emblem series.

I'm 13 and I know what GBA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_Advance) is. ;)

Post by: Thane Delphi on August 25, 2013, 08:10:14 pm
Well I am older than you are but my parent never let me get one, and Im glad of it. I became interested in reading instead.
Title: Re: Your Favorite Videogame
Post by: cwr on August 25, 2013, 08:19:20 pm
I never had one either, but I know about it. :)

Yeah  13 and reading ASOIAF is surprising, Normally you would be playing Call of Duty, Minecraft or something along that line.

The first videogame I've ever played was on the NES.

Yep. Best books I've ever read. :)

Call of Duty
... Is the same as every other game made by a major publisher.

Quote from: habeo on August 25, 2013, 08:43:20 pm
Minecraft
... Pretty meh. It was fun for a bit, but Warband is a lot better, and has more mods.

Did you notice the rooster ready to impale you if you fell?
Title: Re: Your Favorite Videogame
Post by: cwr on August 25, 2013, 09:07:00 pm
Nope. If you notice stuff like that you end up falling. I still can't see the rooster. ;)

Can you do air flare or flare yet? I see you are going power. I always like D-trix for his awesome power move, well he does not dance much nowadays but still awesome.
Title: Re: Your Favorite Videogame
Post by: cwr on August 25, 2013, 09:33:25 pm
Haha no, I can't do either of those. ;)

I can do windmills and swipes, though. :)

And I'm learning air chairs. (http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2186/2122123411_748eb2f646.jpg)

Ah gba... Pokemon Fire Red was the best, Zelda was pretty awesome too

I actually had the one before gba (can't remember name, square caryridge) with pokemon special edition yellow, the only pokemon game with all 4 starters.

If you want a good book to read try Enders Game, and the othersvin that series.

How old are you thane?

For a good read, Romance of the Three Kingdom (San Guo Zhi) and Water Margin (Shui Hu (Zhuan)) are classic Chinese historical Novel, which involves action, warring, politic and drama. I'm not Chinese but I've read both of them from a very young age, and still re-read it every now and then.

Or if you like the typical Chinese adventure, martial art novels, find novel wrote by Jin Yong, one of the most renown Chinese writer.

Haha I'm actually Chinese, and yes, Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms are great reads. I've read them when I was very young as well. One of the companions in Perisno is named Shi Jin (his presence and background is intended to be a surprise). Name sounds familiar?   ;)

The 4th companion right. Well I hope he has his dai dao, and is good at using it. In all the 108 heroes of Water Margin, I like Wu Song the most, not for his look, strength but his heart.

I'm Vietnamese you yes I read and watch almost everything written by Jin Yong, as well as the awesome Journey to the West.

Btw you guys should read this.

Well he is only loosely based on the real Shi Jin, his purpose is actually something else altogether (no more spoilers!).
