1.)PC
2.)The original Starseige Tribes - In my opinion, it was the best MMP shooter ever. If it was still active, I'd be playing it today
3.)A mix of things on Steam. War Thunder, Tribes Ascend and Arkham Origins
4.)I never buy new releases. Waiting for the new Wolfenstein to come down in price.
5.)Too many to count
6.)Never, I only buy games that are $15 or less on Steam.


What amazes me most about games are the diversity. Some things so diverse, I can't even comprehend someone wanting to play them, let alone take the time to develop them. On Steam there is a game about being a goat who walks around and eats things. You play as the goat. Who finds that fun? Another one was a warehouse manager. You manage a warehouse, checking stock, driving a forklift, loading trucks. Does someone get off from a long day at the warehouse and think "I should play warehouse manager?" One of the most bizarre ones is Viscera Cleanup Detail. Think Doom 3 but instead of fighting monsters, you clean up the blood and bits after the fight with a mop, bucket and I assume a wheelbarrow to throw away the body parts while stealing money from the pockets of the departed. Who do any of these games appeal too?

Hehe Goat Simulator.....

Goat Simulator

Personally I always viewed it as a brilliant joke. The developers knew that some people would buy it just for the novelty and humor and later some just because of the noteriety, and the developers are able to use the engine for other, more meaningful games. It's a win-win for them because they can make money selling what is effectively a tech demo of their game engine while still working on a larger game.

LOL, someone had to do it.


Back in the 1990s one of the most popular games was a point and click adventure game called Myst. Then, someone made a spoof game of it called Pyst, based on the premise that millions of gamers had visited the world of Myst and left their trash and damage, and wear and tear on the place and ruined it.
