I used to work for blizzard several years ago being a wow game master and a few of my co-workers and I would play starcraft and I would nuke my team members (coworkers) bases
The pace of 3d shooters 15 years ago or so used to be at a much quicker pace. Kinda miss it.
Starcraft- Every RTS ever Runescape- Like WoW but requires you not to be braindead. 30+ different skills, and only 6 of them are killing shit. It's basically a strategy game. Rayman 3- Trippiest platforming game I've ever played,, better than Tomb Raider.
Civ 4 was pretty cool too.
First person shooters are "follow things with your cursor quickly"
There's a new "elite skill" called Invention that requires 80 Smithing, 80 Crafting, and 80 Divination. The max level you can get in Invention is 120. You develop your skills through assembly, disassembly, logic pussles, and technology trees. It allows you to engineer useful technology and perk your weapons. I'm trying to unlock it now, also get a second 99 so I can get a trimmed skillcape, and eventually get the Master Completionist Cape which indicates you've beaten everything in the game, but first I'm trying to get all the requirements for every quest in the game.
What I mean by Runescape being a strategy-based MMORPG is it's a game dedicated to economic management and efficiency. I never had more than 10 million coins but then I completed a Clue Scroll which gave me barrows dye, which makes level 90 armor nondegradable. I sold it on the Grand Exchange (runescape's stock market) for 280 million (I got lucky). Anyways, my goal was to get level 99 magic. Since there's a lot of grinding involved, I planned out how I would get 99 magic the most efficiently. I bought about 20 million coins worth of blood runes and fire runes, and a level 85 magic staff which cost 100 million, and level 70 magic offensive (versus defensive) armor which cost 10 million. You get magic exp for killing things with magic, but that requires a lot of clickage, strong monsters, and a lot of healing food and perks. What I did was, I first got 92 magic to unlock the spell Blood Barrage, which hits up to 9 monsters at a time, and siphons 5% of the damage dealt to your health. I then went to the Abyss, which is filled with dozens of aggressive (meaning you don't have to click on them to attack you) level 77 monsters (I was level 110 combat). I was able to AFK there for 3 days-- the monsters wouldn't stop attacking me, I never had to eat or use potions because the blood barrage spell healed me enough and the monsters were weak, and I was able to get multiple kills at once due to it being a multicombat area and the spell hitting up to 9 monsters at once. I got about 1000 experience every 2 seconds. 13,000,000 experience is required for level 99 magic. I got it in 3 days without paying attention when usually it would take months.
See how much thought was required to advance 7/99 levels in 1/35 of runescape's skills? And every quest guide goes on for about a dozen pages, not to mention all the minigames.
oh you play rs3, i thought you were talking about 07scape. rs3 is kinda garbage imo.
RS2 is an autism simulator. I've been playing since 2005. RS3 takes everything good about RS2 and makes it more modern and appealing, if not kind of flashy. That's what I mean by "it's like WOW but better". I don't see why anyone wouldn't prefer RS3.
because the combat is fucky and the entire thing i'm unfamiliar with. rs3 feels like uncanny valley. rs2 carries nostalgia for me and i know how to do everything already.

Minecraft recently updated to version 1.9, introducing many new features and changes. I've been playing that lately, mostly single player while I wait for my multiplayer server to finish setting up. Also waiting on optifine to update to 1.9 and waiting for someone to create an xray pack for 1.9.
I've always been a fan of classic games like The Secret of Monkey Island, Space Quest 4, Kings Quest 5, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge liserds, etc.
