Some of my all-time favourites:
The Civilization series is certainly one of the best. I play
Civilization III - Conquests occasionally with my friends over the internet nowadays. Great fun.
Day Of Defeat must be my favourite online FPS of all time. It's a well made mod for Half-Life (which is rare).
Half-Life 2 is also worth a mention. Beautiful and really fun to play, the athmosphere is great. Somewhat linear in a way but it didn't bother me.
Dungeon Crawl is one of those games without the need for good graphics. Every game will be a different story, as you can start the game with different characters and evolve through the game as you prefer until you die or manage to retrieve the Orb of Zot and leave the dungeon alive (not an easy task, I've never even found the orb). This game is quite similar to nethack but much better in my opinion.
Fallout 2. Nothing more to say.
I also like small logic and puzzle games (and so on) such as
Supaplex,
Elasto Mania,
WAtomic
The games I hate:
- all kinds of manager games
- almost all of the sportsgames (especially the EA ones)
- games with a predictable, obvious plot
- card games
- slot-machine games and such (seriously, what the fuck?)
When I'm at my computer:
- there's music playing on the background most of the time
- I watch some series regularly, mostly comedy and scifi. Sometimes I watch movies.
- I go through news feeds and interesting sites
- IRC
Well that's about it.
