Favourite RTS games are probably Total War and AoE. Have also played C&C, BFME (preferred the first) and one or two space based ones.

Spent most time on Mohaa, Cod4 and recently Csgo. Played pretty much every version of those three franchises. But those titles were easily the best from their respective franchises and the only ones that held any time.

Apart from that, GTA, skyrim, and assassin's creed are excellent. Fifa and f1 get a bit of time. Simcity, railroad tycoon and those types of game are also good.

In fact, I think I like most games.

Warcraft 2 was my original favourite RTS. Since then Rise of Nations and shogun 2 have done well.

All over Insurgency coop at the mo - short bursts of happy times.

Rugby games just make me sad. As the game gets closer to wide appeal hopefully they'll make a decent one.

There'll never be a game like Jonah Lomu again. So many hours of enjoyment

Small bit of life advice: do not do Hell and back

Superbowling anyone?

I definitely should've got some hours sleep during the day. Tomorrow won't be fun. Lets gooooooooooo sports.

I've done a few multisport/adventure races but those Tough Mudder/H&B events have zero appeal. My bro-in-law keeps trying to get me to do one, but unless I'm doing basic training for the Marines I have no interest in diving into pools of muddy water in freezing weather. And I've no intention of joining the Marines!

Don't get the appeal myself either. You must feel an absolute mess for days afterward.

I dunno, I reckon our favourite sport might top it. I was told I'd feel like I'd been in a car crash after my first game of rugby. They weren't lying.

I never played but if I tried to play now I'd last 10 minutes at most before I would be ruined.

Same as myself. I ran a marathon and enjoyed the challenge, triathlons and Adventure Raves like Gael Force West would appeal to me, but the Hell and Back and Tough Mudder just seem bizarre (and easier) to me.

It's weird how the Americans sing their anthem differently every time and boo and cheer during it.

It's also really slow and almost sucks away the atmosphere.

I presume they were boing at the big screen, but their anthem is absolute torture though

Yea they were, but it's weird how they don't keep quiet during it given how patriotic a nation they are.

Like that sort of thing would be a huge no-no in Europe (and most other countries I reckon).

Not liking how fatigued I'm feeling already, this doesn't bode well for my prospects of avoiding falling asleep in front of the telly

It's also mad how all the players turn up in their own clothes

No team suits or team tracksuits.

Hate the American anthem. I find the way the crowd don't sing along (which they obviously can't because its so stupidly personalised) weird.

Anyway, it's already almost 1 here so I dunno how long I'll last but let's go sports! Can't believe I want the Pats to win

Zzippy

It's even madder how they insert some bits of a game between the commercials... what's up with that, like?

Zzippy

Not a brilliant game. I'm going to bed so the second half will probably be a thriller. Enjoy!

Think I'll give up at half time.

Yeah no way I'm watching the 2nd half.

Second half is going to be sensational.

Podge_irl

Sure the first half has been stupidly fast so may as well stay up for the second...

Half time is 45 minutes ffs.

Yeah, an incredibly annoying part of the SB really. The show can be quite entertaining and all but I just wanna watch football!

How do the players not get cold etc? They must spend a lot of half time trying to keep themselves warmed up.

Players hate it. It must be a massive problem. But D players could easily end up spending half an hour not touching the ball anyway during a long offensive drive.

Hawks TD. Ballsy. Damn.

Half time show is the main events.

There are so many people just standing around at the superbowl, it always amazes me. Wonder what percentage of people there are actually being paid to be there.
