I seem to be obsessed with a game called 'Rock On'. It's essentially one of those 'name that tune' type things, but its huge! Helps I guess that it leans towards the heavier side of things more (great for this aging rocker!) but is also proving I know chuff all about a lot of modern tunes.
What games have got you hiding yourself away tapping at a phone/keyboard instead of doing something useful?
2048
Hill climb racing, and 2048. haven't had a go on 2048 for a good while though.
Sudoku
Preferably on paper. I find it stupidly addictive.
Maths / logic geek I suspect.
FreeCell currently on 750-0 winning streak...
Two Dots.
Agario sucked a few months out of my life last summer.
GTA V online obvs
DOTA 2 became my crutch during a bout of depression a couple of years ago. Gave me a reason not to leave the house at weekends. Whilst I've stopped playing I still watch youtube broadcasts of the tournaments, I've no patience to watch footy these days but will happily have JoinDota on in the background whilst I potter around the internet.
plus Fails Of The Week is ace whenever they get around to making an episode:
Peggle
GTA V online
Civ2. It's like crack for anyone that likes turn-based strategy.
None,I am a recovering addict.
It's all or nothing for me 🙄 🙂
I started playing GTA V online again the other week. I forgot what silly fun that game is.
Any decent first person shooter is like crack to me, so I need to avoid them.....
Started playing World of Tanks again a few weeks back after quitting for a couple of years, starting to remember why I quit again now though. Quite addicted to Olympus Rising on the iPad atm to but it's getting to the point you can't progress without spending a lot of money so I'll hopefully be quitting that shortly to...
Fallout 4. It's practically all I played for weeks on end, much to Mrs PJM's annoyance.
twenty, on my phone
Horribly addictive. A game you can play whilst participating in a teleconference. My record is 10 20s in a game. What does that make me?
My name is Torminalis and I am a Counter Strike Addict.
My wife plays a lot so a couple of months ago I installed it and started playing.Have done nothing else since.
Anyone else? (subtly searches for team mates...)
World of Tanks, World of Warships, WarThunder, Kerbal Space Program...
Xcom enemy within (although i did have the mumps so had nothing else to do).
Rome Total War and Empire Total War.
Total War games. Draw me in incredibly, even though after about the first 2 hours of every campaign they usually become 99% boring. And I know this, but I'll still get Total Warhammer on day of release, even though it'll inevitably be completely broken and need 6 months of patches before it works.
(Empire's the only one I escaped, something about the interface and regions just put me off instantly. OTOH, Medieval 2 gave me one of the best strategy game experiences ever- the plague hit, and ruined all my plans, and killed all my generals, and caused total chaos and I hated it til I realised it's the bloody plague, if it doesn't ruin all your plans it's doing it wrong. And then I loved it.
Nothing has ever got close to Rome Total War for me, the new one was so disappointing. Empire was buggy as hell, but i loved the naval battles.
Tetris been my toilet game of choice for 25+ years!!
Counter Strike does my head in. Just as I think I get good I get wiped, it didn't help playing with one of the UKs higher ranked players at one time.
Blizzard's latest interactive crack cocaine is about to launch on Tuesday. A fast paced arena FPS called Overwatch.
I played the open beta and I can tell you it's [i]very[/i] [b]moreish[/b] [u]indeed[/u]
I've done my stint with CS:GO. I got to LEM rank (3rd from top for those who don't know) and at this point I realised I was playing [i]far[/i] too much so cut my game time down and picked up much more casual GTA Online instead.

You should be flushing after each one you dirty bugger!
Starcraft/Starcraft 2
Hearthstone
elite dangerous for me.

My record is 20 x 28 ... I have proof.
😀
The whole total war series is fantastic, so immersive.
Company of Heroes, actually I prefer 1 to 2.
Speedball 2
Company of heroes 1 is basically perfect tbh, I've played so much multiplayer of that... Blitzkrieg mod is worth checking out btw, not all the changes are for the better but it adds a lot of variety
I played the open beta and I can tell you it's very moreish indeed
I can tell you it's a TF2 wannabe and wasn't great. I'm not adding to my collection unless there's a price plummet on it.
Crusader kings 2, it's like all the interesting bits out of the total war series without the (eventual) tedium of the battles. Plus it's fun changing history!
And football manager, I've banned myself before I end up divorced...
If you got a divorce, think how much time you'd have to play Football Manager.
Combat Mission for me currently Black Sea days just disapear.
Wasted a fair amount of time on Elder Scrolls Online.
Finally got Minecraft last Christmas and that's one of those, where did the day go type games.
World of Tanks at the moment but I could do with something similar with spaceships, any recommendations?

There is a game called Star Citizen which is in development and dues any year now which looks like it might just be amazing.
Raid HQ. Just out on ios , scratches that old school shooter itch.
8 ball pool on the phone. But dont say i didn't warn you!
Angry Birds
Spent two weeks detoxing from GTAV after getting to around level 250.
Downloading World of Tanks wasn't to clever, but better than going entirely cold-turkey
Desert Golfing. I'm stuck on hole 3720. Apparently there's an unplayable hole somewhere in the 19,000s.
Warcraft 2 back in the 1990's
While addicted I was on it for over 6 hours per day
Dope Wars / Drug Wars
I wasted much time when I had this on a Palm Pilot. Now some bastard has turned it into an app. It's just as addictive.
Hearthstone.
World of Tanks at the moment but I could do with something similar with spaceships, any recommendations?
Fractured space is like world of tanks in Space (ie 3-dimensional), not my cup of tea and it's still in the open beta stage, but if you wanna have big space battles.
Also more tanks Armored (american) Warfare, has all the modern tanks, from where WoT ends to the present day.
World of Tanks Blitz for me. Tend to go through phases of playing it loads and then not touching it for a while. Any STW clans?
nedrapier -
Hill climb racing
You have ruined my life.
Dota 2. totally! ( 3500 hours spent playing it already..)
Took me ages to get to 2048 on 2048! I mean absolutely ages.
Just discovered Fast Castle Defense on Google Play Store. Simple game but incredibly addictive. Level 11 is killing me at the moment.
I was actually looking for a version of the old PC game Rampart when I stumbled across it. Would love to play Rampart again...
Similar FPS addict here. Spent years playing Half Life 2 Deathmatch competitively and now just play TF2 MVM. Actually making a decent profit on it selling dropped weapons. So far its payed for Fallout 4 and Far Cry 3 and 4. 🙂
Playing [i]Don't Starve[/i] on iOS at the moment, a lot.
Also playing Ticket to Ride, but only so I can beat my brother when we play the board game (he hates losing).
Desert Golfing. I'm stuck on hole 3720. Apparently there's an unplayable hole somewhere in the 19,000s.
Ah I see it's been updated, I used to play it but stopped around 3400 as it just changed to flat ground for level after level but just checked and it looks fixed now. Damn, didn't need another timesink!
Company of heroes 1 is basically perfect tbh, I've played so much multiplayer of that... Blitzkrieg mod is worth checking out btw, not all the changes are for the better but it adds a lot of variety
The all singing all dancing COH 2 is meant to be better and more balanced than COH ever was, especially Blitzkrieg.
I am a Hearthstone widow(er).
I don't do games myself, I've seen what that shit can do to people.

I think I only played the single player of that, the UI and information delivery was just orrible... The mechanics might be better but the first one was just so clear and responsive, the sequel was like playing with a boxing glove and eyedrops by comparison.
Just having the same experience with total war: warhammer, it's a much more impressive game technically than shogun 2 which I was playing recently but the UI is pish.
RE: slither.io
Another vote for "Bastard!" from me.
I'm usually Dread Pirate Roberts, and I suck. Doesn't put me off though!

Dammit! Bloody mouse control keeps getting me eaten by bigger worm! arrghh!
2048
Candy ****ing crush!!! 😡
Flipping between Planetside 2 (which finally got a major update) and Fallout 4. Oooh Far Harbor is out!
Sensible world of soccer.
That slither is quite good. Felt really shallow at first, then a massive multicoloured worm swam by and I was all I WANT THAT.
Candy **** crush!!!
A far more worthy and noble pursuit than using FB or Instagram.
😆
Great to see DopeWars here - spent hours playing that on my Amiga 😀
Spent hundreds of hours playing Battlefield, crowning moment was blowing up a low-flying helicopter with a crossbow in BF3; less time these days so just an occasional Diablo3 session.
Squatcobbler.
Boom Beach, wake-up, put kettle on, play BB. Get ready for bed, plug phone in to charge play BB.
I just became a big worm in Slither @ 15,270 ... then stupidly rammed the wall or boarder ... 😡
World of Tanks since November 2013, during a difficult moment with the family-in-law. First ever computer game I've really been interested in: mostly I'd just watch my friends play as a kid. I have deleted WoT a few times, usually because I was threatened with divorce, but I just reinstalled whilst herself was away for three weeks. 12000 battles so far but lots of players have many many more. At one point I'd drop the kids at school, think "I'll play my daily doubles for an hour", suddenly a spot of lunch, then time to get the kids.... Work 0 - WarGaming 1. So often I realise it's making me miserable and then you get one massive one-shot kill with your Conqueror Gun Carriage and you're right back in there. I've never been addicted to anything before in my life 🙁
Twenty and Slither for me of the simple games. Got to 20 once in twenty - took about s week. How the hell do you get any further?
I'm still pretty addicted to Call of Dufy online despite the plethora of cheating idiots. No idea why really, but somehow very satisfying.
gaidong - wanna platoon for the t62 football?
(only joking, the kids will be awake in 6 hours and no school tomorrow)
*squinty eyes*
How many Cougar[s] were playing slither.io tonight, I wonder...?
World of Warcraft when it was first released, only just reinstalled it for a look as its free to play to level 20.
Transport Tycoon can eat hours and hours
30 or so years ago Elite filled any rainy days when I was a kid. Hit Elite once and deadly a few times!
Nobody else here playing Clash of Clans or Clash Royale then? (or does CoC not count because you can't play it continuously?) Also Real Racing 3.
Thanks for all the suggestions of other ways to waste my time 🙄
