Playing Age of Empires 2 online.
Got your stream off on another monitor.
I was wondering who was watching me
How was it?It was good. I clocked out right as you reached the last age. Someone really likes building a navy....
He was about to come and clobber me with it, lol.
Hah, I'll have to jump in next time. I'm not the greatest RTS player though much prefer to go against an AI.
yeah, that's how I often played.. but 3 on 3 humans RTS was often fun too.
RTS with humans is the best, even when you lose. It's just fun knowing that it is real people and getting to be on a team with real people.
Plus I tend to find that playing with friends, we'll go for 3-4 hours in a game of StarCraft. It'll take me a little bit longer to get up to speed on this AoE thing.
As mentioned, many of use have played long cooperative games against the computer for 3-4+ hours. Please humans vs humans isn't needed for that.

Apparently I'm different in that. I either win withing an hour, or get completely trounced, haven't ever had that happy middle point playing the computer.

Especially now it is so much harder, bigger and more extensive than when we used to play long ago. How you play with a 500 pop cap vs. 200 is quite different, for example. And so many new techs.

I have all of the parts required for a Retropie at home except for the 32GB MicroSD card. Ugh! Have to wait until Thursday.
Walmart?
Amazon but the one I received was reporting bad blocks so I had them send me another.
I meant you could just run down the street and grab one
Yeah but I paid for it. I'd rather they replace it. That's like 7 dollar menu double cheeseburgers.
Everything relates to the amount of double cheeseburgers I can buy with it.

Generally the same here.

Head to head you mean? or 2+ humans against the computer?
I played with Scott, Minion Queen and Art the other day - 4 humans against 2-3 AI, game took 3+ hours.

My skype chat with MQ said over 3 hours on it. I started that with her less than 10 before we started the game, and was offline in less than 10 after.. If it wasn't a 3+ hour game, it was awfully close.

Some friends and I are climbing the ladder in Battlerite 3v3. It's been really fun.

Played an Arma 3 scenario last night... the closest you can get to a PnP RPG in a video game.

@scottalanmiller @dashrender Three hours? Filthy casuals. Try Civilization where it can take days to play through a whole game, and weeks in multiplayer. The devs even made changes to force a faster playstyle so with changes like that enabled, the timing can be brought down to 2-5 hours, though it is cheating in my mind.
Also, ARK is persistant so my ARK 'game' has been going on now for more than a year. -

If you wait for people we'd fall asleep. RTS means that the length of the game is how long it takes to play. With turn based you have to figure out how long people are just sitting around doing nothing and divide the time by the number of players. I've tried Civ before... just so slow.

Try Offworld Trading Company. It's like 30 minutes a game max, but it's very complex and interesting! Made by one of the guys who did Civ IV. Real time.

It's inspired by the old MULE game. Economic warfare on a foreign planet. Just a lot more complex than the old MULE version (which you can still play here, btw: http://www.planetmule.com/ )

OTC is one of my favorite games right now. It's fantastic.

Also, ARK is persistant so my ARK 'game' has been going on now for more than a year.In a single player game this doesn't matter - just look at console games, play for an hour now, then again later, etc. Multiplayer games that take hours or days of game play - damn talk about dedication of a group to make that happen.
though, you only have to look at the lights of Evercrack - I mean Everquest to know that there are those who will give up almost everything to play group games for near endless hours. I know several people who lost jobs over the game, and others who became part of the unclean masses
