Take a break, Peter. Play something horter and then come back to Xillia. It may keep you sane.

I find match 3 games to be relaxing, they let me focus just enough to keep part of my brain busy, while allowing the other part to think, daydream, or problem solve.

I have been sadly uninspired this BaD. On the positive side, I've only had to resort to one cat pic so far.

I always liked Spider Solitaire the best of the solitaire games. But then, I've been playing solitaire in many forms ever since I was a little kid. I even have a huge book of different solitaire games.

I never made it off the first screen...

Coast City Comics/The FunBox Monster Emporium has this cabinet (or at least they did last time I was in there).

That has always been one of the best things about BaD, getting to know people better and making new friends. Gabe and Alice done good when they started this!

I had a similar experience recently in a game I was playing. Was sure it was a glitch, but it wasn't a part of the main story, so I was going to just sigh and go on. Then I checked online and discovered that I'd just missed something. Restoration of happiness.

I'll have to get around to ths game at some point. I bought it for my brother for Christmas, as well.

Solitaire definitely counts! It was the original time waster, lol. And I think all of these games are real games. The fact that they are quick and easily accessible doesn't make them any less real than a big game on a console.

Ugh, multiplayer FPS. Lost me right there.

I started reading A Song of Fire and Ice when one of the employees at my favorite independant bookstore recommended A Game of Thrones to me shortly after it hit paperback, so I've had to wait for each one to be published to read it. I have to say that I've kind of lost interest now, especially when Jason read the most recent one and told me I wouldn't like it. Kind of a bummer, because I really enjoyed the first three. The fourth one started losing me, though.
