well chatting to people via Skype while playing games is fun, especially when you suddenly yell at them "shuddup there's a cutscene!!!" :) Or, in the case of Civ, you casually say "and now let's nuke Berlin..."

Erik, it's certainly interesting. And it's kinda what I wanted for years, a challenging city builder without all the hassle of combat.
I'd have to say "shut up" a lot while playing something like SWTOR. I can play a game like Civ or even WoW (no real voice acting) without needing sound.Quote:

I agreed, because that'd be fun, so I build my GDRs and put them in the area described. After expressing surprised repeatedly at how many I had, he later asked, "So you're build up the army around Vatican City, right?" I confirmed I was indeed, as agreed.
And he dropped atomic bombs on me, wiping out my army.
I responded by starting production on my own nukes (missiles), and a fleet of stealth bombers. Once he realized the futility of it, he said something like, "Watch this"... and quit the game. :-P (We started a new game. I wasn't upset, we both knew how that war would go.)
well today I traded my Xbox 360 in for an Xbox One. it is an enormous great big box and looks very 80s. Got Titanfall, which I have had my first round of and is excellent. currently downloading Ori and the Blind Forest, Peggle 2, Massive Chalice, and Pool Nation (all free). Ordered Killer Instinct Season 1 online, because I loved the original Snes game and was feeling nostalgic.
Titanfall is pretty fun. I especially enjoy dropping your Titan on another Titan when the person isn't expecting it.
When you get auto-eject and nuke-on-eject, the fun really starts. "Oh, you cornered me and have beaten my Titan into submission? Cool, it just ejected me before it dies, and is now going to explode all over this city street."
picked up The Stanley Parable earlier today - half-way between amusing and disconcerting... really well done, that...
Might stay up inadvisably late tonight to order me PS4, as Amazon do same day delivery round where I work...
do it
I'm gonna!
Can't get same day delivery though.
booo
