Online Games

Just being bored this morning, so I thought I'd take some time and ramble about a few of the things I spend my time on online.

The very first things I open when I get on are several online, browser-based games. (I don't really do any MMORPGs anymore...too much time. I did MapleStory for a time, got my archer to level 30, but then I started having troubles with lag. It wasn't fun anymore. And for some reason, I can't pull up PuzzlePirates. It's weird.)

The first game I pull up is a recent one for me. I found it a couple weeks ago. It's called Legend, and it's one of those ever-so-common time-based fighting sites. Yaknow, you can fight a person, but can't fight a second one for fifteen minutes, so while you wait you run off and have an adventure for 10-30 minutes, fight someone else, adventure...and when you're done, you can 'work' for up to eight hours at a time. Most of the other ones I've tried (whether normal fighter or vampire vs. werewolf) I've quickly grown bored of and given up on, but I've stuck with this one for a while now.

The second site I pull up is another time-based site, but of a very different nature. It's called Travian, and is a different kind of fighting game, where you build up your villages and attack other players' villages. Every upgrade 'costs' in resources and time, and resources build up slowly over the day. I play in server three, name of Irian (for now...it may change, since we're currently in the endgame. I already changed mah name once when I deleted mah account - mah guild pissed off a pretty big guild and they were systematically destroying us, so we all relocated. *laughs*)

The next site is a little bit different kind of fighting game...'tis called DinoParc, and as the name might have told you, it's based on fighting Dinos. You get to pick a Dino (and you can buy more later), and you have him travel around, fighting other dinos while exploring the land. Right my Dino is dying every other day, so not as much fun. *laughs*

Finally, and among my favorites, is AlphaBounce. (All but Tanoth are done by the same company.) I have never come across another website where the mode of progression is through breakout. Yes, breakout, with the paddle and the ball breaking bricks and all. You get three free plays a day, and are a prisoner, set loose in space to mine through the dark vastness. You complete missions, earning money and powerups, some temporary, some permanent. I love this game and play it every single day. I actually have two accounts, Arianna and Fadorien.

Anyways, those are the games I play right now...not very many, but the number tends to fluctuate as I come across new sites and get tired of old ones. I also play some flash games on Gaia and a number of other message board sites, but not very much.
