    Could you not just go to bed late, as in a few hours from now and get up at about 9-ish? You'll be banjaxed at about 8pm then. Failing that, any Football Manager game if you like menus, or football.

    Civilization V

    You don't play Civilization to get back to a normal sleep pattern. You'll just end up in a weirder sleep pattern.

    Good choice! That and the Total War games like: Shogun/Empire/Medieval and Rome could keep you going for months.

    Euro Truck Simulator 2, surprisingly entertaining!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,640 ✭✭✭Pushtrak


    It's been said already but Civilization 5 Gold edition. Get Brave New World, too if you want to put more money in. It's worth it.
    XCOM enemy unknown is quite good too (currently a tenner on Steam 75% off http://store.steampowered.com/app/200510/).
    An Elder Scrolls game would be a good option too.

    Hey,

    Thank you VERY VERY much for the suggestion, the thing is with DOTA, like is it fun?. Because like LOL (league of legedents), I saw the videos but it seems so boring.

    Are they the games that once you play them you start to like them, and get really addicted?.

    Thank you, any feedback on that?, like because I watch the videos of them but they look so god dam boring but at the same time the game LOL is one of the most played games, eg; wow = 8 million players subs, LOL = 50 million or something, but LOL looks so boring.

    It's a bit of a learning curve to get to grips to it, but it's very addictive and well balanced. You have to be willing to put some hours into it though.

    Team Fortress 2 is a great (free) game to put a bit of time towards. It can take a bit to get used to some of the classes, but overall I'd think it's easy enough to get into, and fantastic fun overall.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,785 ✭✭✭eddhorse


    Dark Souls ! Not really fun or is it?

    Anyways love watching people playing it on www.twitch.tv

    Another good resource for gaming.

    Best of luck,

    Ed

    Why was he banned?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,912 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    The whole premise of having to stay up for 2 days to get back onto a sleep pattern is stupid.
    I worked shift work for 4 years, many weeks I'd be on nights, then weekend days and vice versa, often with 1-2 only in between to get back into a sleep pattern.
    It's easily done.

    But would also like to know the reason for siteban


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,447 ✭✭✭Calhoun


    I would say its because he started going a little crazy, look at his posting history.
