It was Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for years, but Breath of the Wild gave it a run for its money in recent years.

That's funny. Ever hear of esports? I'm not into that scene personally but video games are only getting bigger.

I just saw an article in the paper yesterday about DISD starting esports as an extra curricular and it's been very popular. Entire generations have grown up with video games now.

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/education/2019/10/13/friday-night-bytes-dallas-isd-starts-video-game-teams-on-64-campuses/

I'm not sure if you're assuming games are only for nerds who live in their moms basements or something but that couldn't be further from the truth. Even high profile athletes post about the newest FIFA or Call of Duty pretty regularly. Henry Cavill is starring in the Witcher Netflix series because he played Witcher 3 obsessively and practically demanded an audition with the directors. And yeah, Fortnite, things like that. It's everywhere. Gaming is more socially acceptable (and popular) than its ever been.

But anyway. The Nerdery is probably the place to discuss games in general.

44 yrs young

Legend of Zelda as a kid. I played so much I could beat the game without dying. Had all the mazes memorized. Knew all the secret heart and money locations.

I did get lost in the world of Warcraft for 4 - 5 years in my 30s. I have kids now and don't have time to play video games. I have four games on my iPhone that I play on occasion - Chess.com, Catan, ticket to ride, and Cribbage.

Bloodborne and BioShock are the two best games ever made, and I won't hear otherwise.

Been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 since it came out and it's a contender. Have to finish it to be able to say for sure.

Favorite all time? RDR, Mass Effect 2 (though 3 had some GREAT moments), or Arkham City maybe.

I'm a man. I'm 40.

MLB The Show.

No game comes closer to reality and actual realistic sports than this game, and it doesn't lose any of the fun by being as difficult as it is.

Breath of the Wild

For most of my life it was the original Legend of Zelda, but then BoW came out and changed that.

I also love Civilization and SimCity. I had to quite playing those, though, because I would start up Civilization play it for 5 minutes, look at the clock and realize it was 3 am.

LoZ was before my time (OoT was my first Zelda game), but I really appreciate how closely they tied BotW into the spirit of LoZ. (Focus on exploration, open-world, no linear storyline, etc.)

Honestly one of the most rewarding video game experiences of my life.

47.

Currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS4. I play some Civ 6 on laptop while watching football or chilling out. I also play Empires & Puzzles on phone which is a great time killer/grindy type game.

All time my favorites are Mass Effect 2 and Witcher 3.

I don't spend much time these days but I enjoy an hour here or there.

If you're over 30 and have time to play video games regularly you are doing something wrong.
Or may something right.
