[QUOTE="bavelb, post: 38531, member: 358"] Considering your affinity for runescape and having a nintendo bias for consoles, may I suggest: "Xenoblade Chronicles" for Wii. It's the Wii's swansong and in some opinion the greatest game for the platfrom It's a singeplayer game with a strong MMO vibe. As you are asking for some general entertainment options: If you are into crimeshows: -watch all seasons of dexter (a show about a serial killer that solves crimes...no really) If you enjoy fantasy -watch (or read) game of thrones. Id recommend to watch the first 2 seasons and pick up the books where they left at season 2. Season 3 is being produced right now -Walking dead (the tv show is decent, the game is astounding and the comics I dont read) -If you want your fantasy to be really deep, enigmatic and a road of discovery on how the world and its people work: read Malazan book of the Fallen. Its a 10 book series (wiuth subseries on the way), and I recommend it highly. But make sure to read it along with the reread analysis on [url]http://www.tor.com/features/series/malazan-reread-of-the-fallen[/url] or you might feel clueless at first (and at some points in other books as well, but that is essentially the point sometimes and you get used to being clueless because you kow things will be explained bit by bit later on). If you enjoy Scfi -I personally enjoyed the new series Battlestar Gallactica. - Games on pc and/or nintendo console -Xcom -Borderlands 2 -The latest Zelda was very decent, assuming you have a motionplus on your wii -try to learn how to play Starcraft 2 competitively. I gave up on it because I just dont have the multitasking capabilities (and subsequently apm) to play it on a level I enjoy, so I moved on to dota2 which needs less multitasking and apm but still scratches that same strategy itch for me. -Those who can, can, those who can't.......watch comepetitive SC2 (Im not enough into Dota yet to properly enjoy watching it competitively, SC2 is much easier to get into).
