I did join the chess society when I was in high school, but I've hardly played it since. I do have Tabletop Simulator though, so I guess I could play almost any board game I desire if I want to :P

I've only followed a few speedruns of games I really enjoy. Some of the more popular ones have phenomenal records, especially Pokemon where they aim to beat the Elite Four and Pokemon champion in just a couple hours!

MOBA and FPS for the fast-paced multiplayer element, with no need for grind like most MMORPGs. For single player games I prefer roguelikes, tower defense and other unique indie games.

They did ban many players previously for using single-player mods though, I'm not sure if their bans have already been lifted. As someone who played GTA IV mods pretty extensively I would be happy to see the ban be lifted entirely. It's generating plenty of negative publicity on an otherwise...

Lots of great titles available on Steam, such as The Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy, FTL, Five Nights at Freddy's.

CounterStrike: Global Offensive offers a bit more realism and depth than most other shooters out there (looking at you Call of Duty). It also has a very active competitive scene if you're into such a thing.

Steam has a very solid selection of games, DotA 2 and Team Fortress 2 are really well-received, and there is no pay-to-win element since they make money solely off cosmetics.

Great for the scene of course. Gives good exposure to the game, especially since really good players who dedicate lots of time to the game might even go pro and make lots of money!

Looks like you're quite the avid Steam User, with CS:GO, TF2 and Civ:V. What's your steam username? That LoL though, time to move on to DotA 2! :P

Try learning all the important flashes and smokes, it makes all the difference at silver level of play. You can single handedly defend certain choke points in maps such as Dust II B site if you do it right. Nuke is quite the CT-sided map though, I don't really like it and avoid playing it in...

Well Nintendo seems to be developing some new console to bring together all the current media platforms together. It's an interesting and novel concept to say the least.

20+ and I'm already feeling pretty old as a gamer, my reflexes have slowed down a little but I can still enjoy most games easily. However it gets a bit more lonely since many of my friends have stopped gaming :/

I've played it quite a bit, there's a problem with hackers and cheaters lurking in competitive play though. That said the game is rapidly gaining a following with the recent Katowice tournament having a prizepool of 100,000 dollars.

Agreed, people's notion of gaming together nowadays is just going online to play LoL/DotA/Call of Duty as a team. It's not as often that people actually physically meet up to game together anymore, which is a real pity.

That's easy for any older gamers! Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. My turn: Where can you find the blood of tofu
