RPGs all the way. Though if I have to choose a specific category of RPGs, then SRPGs.

Wait for it....
Right, now that I have my flame retardant clothes on... RTS. I just love gathering resources while defending and then sending in a swarm. Does that make me simple? I wonder if that's why I like risk so much too?
I rolled a 1 and a 5 while he rolled a 3 and 4. Then I rolled two 5s against his 3 and a 2. Then I did something truly amazing... I rolled a six and a 3 that got me into Kamchatka (no I haven't checked the exact quote, but anyone who knows, will get the gist).

Haven't played Civ. It's on my list, but I keep getting distracted. Got EU III in Steam sales, now I just want to keep playing. So if SMAC is anything like that, then I'll put it close to the top of my list.wammnebu said:
Which is still another hundred or so hours off. lol
I think I could get by playing social turn-based games forever. Games like Kingdom of Loathing, Echo Bazaar, Urban Dead, games where you play with other people and don't have to put too much effort into the finer details.
Not incredibly exciting, sure, but none of them ever end, so I don't have to worry about beating them.

Shooter's are fun, but they all start to feel a little similar after a while.
I'd go with RPG, it's probably the most diverse and consistently entertaining genre.

oldschool 2d platformer
why not rpg?
- with rpg people mostly mean shallow story and enter-point-in-skilltree mechanics. usually games end up demanding alot of tedious grinding to achieve your goals. which leads to my point that its easier to fuck up an rpg game, while platformers can work aslong as you can get from A-B. If a platformer isnt working, its cause of a bug.
Also while rpgs require 3d enviroments, voice acting and better and better graphics, a platformer is still cool in 2d now just like over 30 years ago.

See, ask me this about 3 years ago or so, and I would have said platformers. But, given the previous platformer games out over that time (Which most of them I enjoyed like a giant metal propeller to the head.) I'm changing to RPG's.
But only on one condition - Give me a copy of Contact, damnit. I miss that game.

I was going to say action-RPGs, but seeing as "RPG" seems to allow for sub-genres like "action" and "MMO", that's where I'd have to put my vote to allow myself the most options.
RPG, i love em. Also that'd include MMORPGs, so i'd be good on getting my MMO fix once every few months.
Though i would lament over RTS games...
