    Strategy game for someone who's never played strategy games

    Totally agree with the Paradox games from this list (EU4, CK2, Victoria 2) - the only thing I would suggest is go for the newer ones like Europa 4 and Crusader Kings 2 - they are a lot more streamlined than the older games and, in my opinion anyway, a bit easier to get your head around.

    "The Wii U is crap" "awful console" "Nintendo are walking dead"

    Slightly off topic but is it just me or was the WiiU not marketed well/at all? I can't recall having seen any adverts for the console itself or specific games for it (in the UK at least) It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of casual gamers don't even know its a totally different console from...

    What is the nerdiest or geekiest thing you have ever heard or seen?

    In clubs whenever they play the song Parklife by Blur me and my mate change it to Half Life and make random lyrics up about walking round Black Mesa with crowbars...man we get some weird looks. Also we made a rap to Battlestar Galactica...possibly nerdiest thing ever!!
