MISSION IMPOSSIBLE- Give me some non-grindy timewasters!
« on: October 05, 2010, 11:54:20 pm »

So, recently there have been no games to waste my time with. Aside from EVE, Civilization V, SS13, and Shores of Hazeron I don't even play games at this point. ANY suggestions that will waste my free time will work.

so, besides those 4 games you listed, you dont really play any games right now?

I recommend finding other ways to "waste" your "free" time besides games.

Clarify. Be blunt about it, stop beating around the bush

OK!

Go hand out with friends, get in trouble, pursue sex with other humans, learn a valuable skill, help some other people, etc.

If you like lord of the rings you can try lord of the rings online. It is the least grindy mmo you can find, basicly you level up by doing quests.
I play it and enjoy it very much, it even has a music system where you can play a music instrument by using your keyboard to play the different notes.

Then again, I consider Infinity to be overly ambitious, something that might easily spell it's downfall.

Along those lines, I am playing a fair amount of Puzzle Quest 2. I enjoy it.

You could always try the Uncharted Waters Online, not that I am looking for people to join from Bay12 or anything, but if you like spending time just doing trade or earning coin to go search for famous landscapes and stuff like that you can with minimal grinding. The more trade you do the more Trade Fame you get and the more Fame you get you can get into different ports. Or you could do the Tutorial that explains alot of things and makes it clear on what is what and what to do after and you get the Euro port permits for free no matter your fame...

People complain about the Tutorials but unless this is like your 6th character or something its worth doing...

Yep, Minecraft is awesome. After a short while, you begin to realize it is part construction game, part survival horror. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Minecraft
It will make you paranoid when you play it, especially when the sun goes down. "Oh shi, was that a creeper?? RUN! Ah, wait a minute, that's just a tree." *turns around* "OH GOD OH GOD SKELETON ARCHER OH GOD" *turns around the other way* "SPIDER!!! RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN" *a few seconds later* "Phew... finally safe... I think I got aw... OH SHI CREEPER!!!! *explosion, followed by death*

Toribash has been a big time sink for me recently. For some reason I can't reach their site though, hope you've got more luck.
