Hello people,

Unfortunately later today I will have to sit in airport for around 10 hours till my flight. That is not ideal, however, I will have my laptop with me and I was starting to think about games and TV shows that could help me kill time. For example when I was binge watching breaking bad, back in the day, I could watch episode after episode and time would fly. And when it comes to games I remember that recently Age of Wonders III provided that "just one more turn, oh snap it's 4am and I have to get up after 4 hours".

Please share your time killers. Shows you've watched or games you played where time just flew by without noticing.

Please do keep in mind that while my laptop is quite ok, it probably won't run witcher III, GTA V with low/medium settings on the other hand could be playable.

Here is the giveaway link, I hope I didn't mess it up (for lvl 4+ users, who have sent as much as they have received) P.S. I don't mean to be offensive to anyone, but I really do think that one should at least send as much as he receives ;)

Thank you for the overwhelming responses, a lot of great suggestions.

And thank you for the 8 blacklists as well, not sure how this topic could warrant a blacklist, but thank you nevertheless ^^

Terraria and FTL is a good fun indeed, multiplayer might not be possible in airport ;)

Anno is added to my wishlist :)

I'm pretty sure ME3 Multiplayer is pretty dead by now (I played ~ 3 years ago) but since it's PvE Coop and you only need 4 people for a fireteam it should be still possible to find matches. I just listed my worst time assassins :D

No, ME3 is still working beautifully. I switched from XBOX to PC multiplayer, as my friends stopped paying for Gold. We never have trouble finding matches, still the best MP-game out there IMO.

That's good to know. I used to play on XBox 360 as well but stopped buying gold when I switched to PS4 (although I had already pretty much stopped playing at that point because it was taking up too much of my time). Yea ME3 coop is awesome. I specially loved the constant flow of new maps, weapons, races and classes (and all of that for free due to booster packs) and how different each class played and since it was coop the community was great as well. I'd really like to play a match or two sometime for old times sake but if there are still free Gold weekends I always miss them and I'm to stingy to have 2 console online subscriptions running at the same time :D

That, by the way, is my typical reaction to killing those f... banshees. I hate them!

I'm proud to say I didn't buy a single one (with money) and still managed to get all my weapons (except the very last one they added, the Lancer) up to Lvl 10 :D Yea, Banshees are really annoying (and that creepy noise they make) but I have to say those moments when one of your teammates manages to pull out the rocket launcher fast enough to take care of them after they have already picked you up (or in some very rare cases even did enough damage with a shotgun to make them drop you) are truely awesome. I never really played much with the Krogan Warlord but that was really convenient about him that Banshees can't pick him up (just like the huge Geth dudes). And those Cerberus Instant Killers weren't much better IMO.

Same here. Buying booster packs just feels anticlimactic. I did not manage to level them all up, though. Switching systems meant having to start all over. That was painful, but better than not playing with a cool group of people.
Hope to meet you on the battlefield one day.

You can get a gold game right away on the PC and plat pretty easy too.

The ME Trilogy is on sale right now for $15 on Origin and ME3 including all co-op maps for $10 and Origin does recognize the Steam licences for ME1 & 2 and allows you to import your saves.

Don't tempt me! I'll have to think about this but I'll probably stay strong :D I still have to play the story mode someday (I pretty much jumped right from the MP Beta into MP and never played SP further than that ice planet with the research facility where you pick up Liara :D

It gets better and better.

There's also 3 books set between each game by the original author and 1 shovelware book after EA bought them where the guy pretty much did a search & replace on proper nouns for a book that was written for another IP.

Most people don't realize the ME author also did Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire and other award winning games.

Big time killers for me?

Fallout 3. With all the DLC and mods added. Hundreds of hours there.

Titan Quest: Immortal Throne. I installed the Collector and the Vault, which made it worth playing through a LOT of grinding for items.

Just a couple of examples.

Solid suggestions. I've played Fallout 3 a while back, but it really was a good time! :)

It is so much better with mods added, especially ones by Puce Moose (the add quests and locations to the game). I have the one called DC Interiors (adds some locations and LOTS of items), the one that adds working lights (Christmas lights, street lights turn on at night, etc.). Stuff that adds atmosphere.:)

I also have a mod that allows me to have Bittercup as a companion (as well as Jericho, as I'm playing a "bad guy"). There is an option that makes her "integral" to the game so she cannot die. She is actually pretty cool as a companion!:)

I wasn't even aware of those aftermarket mods, that sounds really cool! I will have to check it out. Hopefully I have enough time to prepare this.

I believe the site is called Nexusmods or something like that. It's been a while since I've been there, so I might be giving you the wrong name. Something to do with Nexus anyhow.

If you check out the site, search for Puce Moose mods right away! I think they're actually good enough to have been in the vanilla game or sold as DLC!

Hm, as you're going to sit at an airport, I take it that you don't want games that requires you to constantly have to pay attention?

Here's a bunch of games that work well for me:

Cities: Skylines
Europa Universalis IV
Stellaris
Tales of Maj'eal
Anno 2070
Homeworld
Panzer Corps
Civilization series
Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim
Silent Hunter series
Heroes of Might and Magic series (just avoid 7 for now, it's still really buggy)
Diablo series
Age of Wonders 1 & 3 (you mentioned 3 already)
Populous
Dwarf Fortress
Master of Orion 2
Cities in Motion

edit
Theme Hospital
Theme Park
Republic: The Revolution
Freedom Force
Commander. Conquest of the Americas
