The Witcher 3.

I get to ride a horse through beautiful countryside and also kill monsters.

SimplySteveRedux · 24/03/2020 21:04

Ugh.

Warcraft 3 Reloaded here. DP wants me to raid again in WoW (I have certain experience) but screw that. Prince Arthas is far more important Smile

DP is playing through the rollercoaster tycoon games, and going "wheeee" whenever she makes/tests a ride. I wish I was joking...

Theme hospital. Found my old disk when having a sort out.

eyeswideshit · 24/03/2020 21:15

Theme hospital is on origin, roller coaster tycoon is on steam. I'm also a sims player. You have excellent taste in games OP!

Lilmissmissy · 24/03/2020 21:17

Im back on sims!

torthecatlady · 24/03/2020 21:21

I've been on theme hospital, definitely going to consider rollercoaster tycoon next!

Sparklfairy · 24/03/2020 21:22

Ha! I got it a few days ago. Used to play all weekend when I was 13 and used to swap expansion packs with my friends Grin

I wasted 4 hours on it on Sunday. Have no idea where the time went and my sim is still a single bum in a shitty job Grin

juneybean · 24/03/2020 21:23

Same OP, jealous that my sim can leave the house 😂

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 24/03/2020 21:25

I'm playing it too, having recently bought a new laptop that doesn't die every time I try to load it! I didn't realise that I could download all the old versions from Origin that I had previously or that it had been updated. I'm happy!

TerribleCustomerCervix · 24/03/2020 21:26

I still pick up the Sims 4 since well before this all kicked off.

Until I realised that when my sims had babies and then toddlers, I was basically just redoing my entire day once I’d got my actual kids to bed 😂.

I started playing Skyrim again a few weeks ago- DH sits and watches me like he’s watching a movie and it’s a lot of fun.

Auntieaunt · 24/03/2020 21:27

Apparently it’s on sale on origin with expansion packs.

What expansion packs do people recommend?

SimplySteveRedux · 24/03/2020 21:28

I started playing Skyrim

Great game. I must replay Baldur's Gate actually...

Literaryseed · 24/03/2020 21:33

Pokemon ...

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 24/03/2020 21:37

I haven't played the sims since I was about 12. Wish I had it 😭

Soubriquet · 24/03/2020 21:38

I wish I could play theme hospital and roller coaster tycoon but my laptop doesn’t have a disc drawer

I was able to download the sims through origin though.

Damia · 24/03/2020 21:41

I'm playing rdr2 online. Riding my horse around killing bad guys lots of fun!

Apolloanddaphne · 24/03/2020 21:52

My DD and her friends, all about age 23, have rediscovered the Sims.

The pets one is fantastic, and Get Together allows you to live in apartments which is a lot of fun!

InescapableDeath · 24/03/2020 21:59

@soubriquet two point hospital is the sequel basically to theme hospital (same developers and same voiceover lady) and on pc and console.

PennyNotSoWise · 24/03/2020 22:11

I've never been off Sims Blush My guilty pleasure.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 24/03/2020 22:44

Ive got Watchdogs 2, Star Trek Online, The Sims 3, Two point hospital.

Ive also been writing smutty fanfiction about sexy Mass Effect and Star Trek aliens.
