Skyrim.

I'm not sure if you know what you're saying. lol. Do you mean that you love Skyrim to the bone, or are you sharing too much information?

Yes, I mean I love Skyrim to the bone. As in too much, every little bit?

But I didn't get the part about sharing too much. It also means something naughty?

E: Ah I forgot the 'the' that's what you mean?

If you use "bone" as a verb, as the sentence structure suggested you were, it means something completely different.

LOL. Yeah, as I said, forgot the 'the'.

To be fair, it is a hell of a game.

I like the older games.  I'm not a thumbwhacker on shooter games.  Or even a joysticker.  Real time games don't interest me.  I think I might even look at my old Sim games.  I'm a builder, not a killer or a room-memorizer.

I just finished a Civ2 Game as a winner at Emperor level.  Had the only Spaceship.  It was scheduled to land in 1921, but I actually killed off the last Civ in 1920 so my SS didn't land.  I've never killed off the other Civs before.  It's not my style.  But I got so far ahead for once that I didn't have much else to do.  It was actually rather strange.  A combination of Fighter Planes, Cavalry (for the movement across terrain) and Transports really worked very well.

Usually, when I win (and I don't always), I build and protect my cities as best I can, suffer a few nuclear strikes, and get my SS to Alpha Centuri before the combined other Civs can kill me. 

This time I just went after them.  And that was deliberate.  I wanted to try killing the other Civs.  It worked.  You leqarn something new about a game every time you play if you try new things.

War is a combination ... who brings the mostest, soonest.  You met the "soonest" criteria.

But that's the point.  You have an option to just build beyond the other Civs.  And it USUALLY suits me to do so.

May I ask what games you have ever played?  Or do games (other than here) escape your interest?

Curious what youngsters like yourself are up to.  Only play Rome:Total War now.

Tell me about that.  Is it a real time shoot or is there building involved.  I once joined a Roman game about building villas, but I figured out I could sell stuff to myself and left.  It wasn't fair to the other players, and not the purpose of the site.

Rome: Total War is not as fun as Caesar III.  My ex plays that on-line.  "Rome" is about fighting, "Caesar" is about building.

OK, I'm into building games.  Tell me about the building.  Do you have to find stuff in order to build?  How engaging is the game?  Is it complicated?  Would it keep you up for hours?

Yes x 4.  Not sure how to get to the on-line version (Steam etc).  The rules are easy.  Fighting is small.  Kind of like a natural disaster, if you have a enough men to fight off the barbarians.

The online version also does Egypt and China.  Individual people can be clicked for info (from distant perspective) to determine current morale.

I might get it for nostalgia, after I move.
