Games?

Well, life isn't all studies, right? As they say, "All work and no play makes Finn a dull boy." (lol)

I'm really curious to know what games we "geeks" play. By games, I don't mean things like 2048. I mean real games, like Halo or Super Mario. Or something like that. And why? :D

My personal favourite is Pokémon. Well... I just like it and I am good at it. In fact, I want to make it to the Video Game World Championships one day, along with a few other friends too (shh... don't tell anyone XD)

Talk about your favourite games! :D

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Comments

Well, I considered myself "gamer" more than "geek" lol. I mostly play games from Square Enix like Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts (I recommend everyone to play.), The World Ends With You (one of the antagonists is a mathematician lol), and other kind of MMOs like Realm of the Mad God, Elsword, zOMG!. Good ol Playstation games like Legend of Zelda, Rayman, Crash Bandicoot. Also PSP like Prinny (sequel of Disgaea), Brave Story, Avatar. Mobile games like Tower of Saviors, Monopoly, Chess, osu!, Infinity Blade, Zenonia. My favourite genre is tower defense games, RPG, 8-bit, fantasy-ish, and lol.

PS: Actually, all of my friends don't believe me that I love playing games, because my math friends only play Tetris and normal typical games I'd say. XD

PSS: These are just 10% of all of the games I like to play.

@Katie Gardner Haha, I wish. I've never gotten any free RP except the starting 400. What champions do you main?

Finn Hulse - 6 years, 9 months ago

Log in to reply

@Finn Hulse My absolute favorite is playing veigar mid :D I also quite like playing kat mid, kayle support and malphite tank. I used to play loaaads of master yi and mordekaiser before they got nerfed :P Dont really like playing ad carry much and I'm not keen on jungle :P Although can be fun as Amumu what about you?

Katie Gardner - 6 years, 9 months ago

Log in to reply

@Katie Gardner Veigar is a ton of fun. Have you seen FB Veig yet? Malphite was my first ever real champ, so I know a lot about him. Kat is super awesome too. I'm not a great junglier or a good support. I main Jax, Aatrox, Zed, Zac, Lulu (top lane, not supp), Rengar, Corki, Nautilus... Right now I'm really into Lulu because she can be such a monster, and she is very commonly underestimated.

For example, if you're some 30-foot metal giant like Mordekaiser and you see a little purple yordle wandering around your jungle, you will want to stomp on them and pick up a free kill. This particular Mordekaiser doesn't know that the Lulu is 15-0-2 and got a first blood triple kill. So naturally, Lulu, seeing him approach, polymorphs him into a squirrel. She lands one of her Q's and an E for some additional damage. Kiting backwards, she waits for the cooldown on her W. Once it comes up, she ults to knock up the Mordekaiser and does a quick WEQ combo, reducing Mordekaiser to a pile of scrap metal and picking up the kill. :D Sorry for the narrative. :P

Finn Hulse - 6 years, 9 months ago

I love BTD!!!! BTD is awesome. I used to have a Ninjakiwi Account which was pretty OP but someone hacked it. Find my new account on Ninjakiwi, it's called xgzjx23.

I'm a geeky gamer, so I typically play Chess, Bookworm Adventures Deluxe/Volume 2, Text Twist, BattleGems, and Scrabble, but I also play Minecraft, Scribblenauts, Pokemon Online, and more... Can I have more games? I can't simply think of anything else... Oh, and I also play some MMORPGs like AdventureQuest Worlds.

Lolz. I once spent half an hour searching up how to play Halo on my com. Even if I had an Xbox my TV wouldn't support it =P I play this awesome game called Raze 2 which is awesome. Nice music especially.

But even more awesome is KoL. Its a great game which combines adventuring, economics, math calculations and of all, fun. Find it at www.kingdomofloathing.com

In short, I play awesome games that nobody else does.

Log in to reply

@Yuxuan Seah P1: KoL is a web based phone game and it is battery consuming.

P2: Pokemon Showdown is a web based phone game and it is battery consuming.

C: All web based phone games are battery consuming.
