The gaming room
Intense, yet relaxing rhythms play from a set of speakers on the
floor, almost drowning the soft humming of the PC near the northern wall. There
is also a low table with cushions strewn around it, obviously meant for playing
board-games. Empty pizza boxes and cans of ice tea are scattered across the
floor. This truly feels like home.
Except for Titan, which has become our family game, and, sometimes, The Lord of the Rings Online, I have abandoned these time-consuming monsters a while ago. They will stay here for old times' sake.
Board games
Titan
This is not your average chilly easy-goer but a game which takes concentration and time. Even a two-player match can take several hours to play, and first-time players will require tons of advice as it is hardly possible to make any sensible moves at all without some experience. Certainly not everybody's cup of tea, but those who like it tend to like it a lot, like me.
Online games
MorgenGrauen
A German MUD (Multi-User-Dungeon), my online home. I'm Kessa.
The Kingdom of Loathing
A multi-player HTML-based game featuring stick-figures and absurd fun. Highly addictive.
Lord of the Rings online
A beautiful online adaptation of Tolkien's world. Gameplay is not very smooth but I can live with that. Also, players and ingame conversation are generally more mature (to put it cautiously).
