- couriernew 15y agoThe more I work, the less mentally demanding games I want to play to cool off. An online match of Street Fighter 4 after a long day of coding does wonders for taking your mind off bugs and backlogs. Switching platforms also helps. Close the laptop, sit on the couch, turn on the xbox.
- starter 15y agoCool! I'm discovering that while there seems to be a high correlation between slackers who don't know how to work and gaming, there also seems to be a high correlation between human machines and modern gaming. I like this!
- blazzar 15y agoTeam Fortress 2 (PC) is still a big draw for me,even after playing it for a few years. It's easy to drop in and play but also has a lot of variety and team dynamics. GT5 (PS3) online, though unless playing with friends can be frustrating with wreckless online racers.
