Where are my gamers!

About the only game that I play these days are a stupid Facebook "hidden pictures" game and World of Warcraft, though I haven't been playing that all that much lately, and I'm not super enthused for tonight's new release. Hopefully it grows on me :)

I completely understand. That is the main reason I don't play online games.

OMG, I cannot play Skyrim. I had a friend and her husband stay with me for a few months when it came out, and I saw this guy NOT move for WEEKS!!

I dont really get into RPGs, when I saw him like that it reminded me of how many RPG's like World of Warcraft and even Second Life was ruining marriages, and people couldnt function (and believe me, I know this isnt everyone, but weird that I know about 10 people like that), so it scares the crap out of me.

I'm playing Wolfenstein: The New Order. That's an incredible game.



I don't know how far I am but to say hours into it... I haven't checked walk-throughs because it's too fun to spoil the first play through. :)

BTW.. for anyone not familiar with the franchise, the Nazis are the enemies with endlessly creative scenarios to kill them in.

I got my husband hooked many years ago when Nintendo first came out with Mario
[back in high school, that was when Atari was hot --missile command/space invaders--and of course the arcade games]

My husband being older than I, had no clue at that time about video games
But he does now!!

Anyway, I was Mario & he was Luigi
Then we advanced over time to Playstation--Need for Speed/Bounty Hunter etc.--we took turns playing

Next came Xbox 36o--which to this day is our fav console--and  PS3
No online, just single player

But now since my husband likes the military ones, I have drifted to my PC to play
He just got through with the latest COD, waiting for Farcry 4 to come out next week

A silly game I got hooked on for a while was Plants vs. Zombies
Oh man, what we do to pass the time. LOL

If this is the place to geek out about games.....allow me to do so.

Some of my my favorite games are the the GTA series, the Fallout series and the incredible Bioshock series. Both Fallout and Bioshock has amazing story lines. GTA does as well, but it doesn't quite satisfy me as does the other two choices. In my opinion, the Bishock series are on the list of the best games ever created.....right next to Mario 64. At one point I was also ranked in the top 500 players for Call of Duty: Zombies. I liked regular CoD gameplay, but zombies takes much more strategy and that's my bag. :)

Nowadays I like to play DOTA 2. It's a free-to-play game on the PC. I could desribe the game, but if you're interested....go check it out.

It requires strategy, teamwork, knowledge of the heros (characters) and the items available to purchase.

Some of the heros are easy to play, but I excel with the heros that require practice and study. My favorite and best played hero is Earth Spirit. It is among the hardest of heros to play, but I have his mechanics down to the point that it's not unusual for me to wipe the entire opposing team with a well-played series of 'grips', 'rolls' and "magnetizes'.

Well, I better stop before I get some 'geek' all over the place. Here is a video that explains what Dota 2 is...if you're interested.

There used to be a WW2 flying game called War Birds.. Hytec was the creator... He came out to my hanger and did some acrobatics with me many years ago. He had a few hours flying but did not have a license... That guy never got sick no matter what we did !!

I think I quit playing War Birds around the age of 50... Eyes we not up to the task...

What I liked about the game was it was real time and you were doing aerial combat against real people. I had a super good joystick with throttle and pedals for the rudder and everything.

There were the Reds, Golds, Greens and Purple squadrons.. JJ my wingman and I were a terror of the skies.. My favorite aircraft for most things was a J or L model P-38 with it's nose mounted 50s and 20mm..

The Golds were the most numerous so we joined the Purps who had the fewest members (purple sq)... We made it a practice to flame every Gold we could find...

One mission; we had taken off and just got our gear up when we were jumped by 7 Golds !!

Real world we would have been dead but as it was we downed them all !!! Both of us managed to limp back to base single engine.. Team work !! Very satisfying ... Sorry maybe to blood thirsty for some... But for us it was about as good as it got !
