Title: Games to play when you're bored of the medium

Exactly what it says on the tin.  Grumpy old fart needs games that can restore his faith in games.

Expecting a list of shit titles, and you know what?  That's fine.  Do as thou ought, for this humble vessel of potage is bored

The economy, fool!

Paradox deserves all your money and then some.

On-topic, Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and Hotline Miami.

Have you tried the Walking Dead and Wolf Among Us series by Telltale? Real good PC games that I really looked forward to new chapters as they came out, like a great TV show that took months for new episodes.

Also the MGS HD collection if you have a PS3, its my favorite series, and I'm real pumped about MGS V being on Steam so more PC spergs can see why Kojima is the best dev ever.

Yume Nikki (http://www.moddb.com/games/yume-nikki/downloads/yume-nikki-v010)


Space Funeral (http://gamejolt.com/games/rpg/space-funeral/3492/)


They are both really strange. Yume Nikki is one of my favorite games of all time. I could write a ton of words about it but I won't. It's a good-ass game. Play it in a dark room while sleepy. Space Funeral is more absurdist and doesn't have deep meaning behind all of its imagery, but it is still a memorable experience.

Definitely get the Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. Also check out Witchcraft's suggestions. Those are two fine-ass games.

Yume Nikki (http://www.moddb.com/games/yume-nikki/downloads/yume-nikki-v010)

I should really reinstall and finish Yume Nikki, that game was a great experience, best enjoyed at night when you´re sleepy

You could also try some Alan Wake. I liked the story and the soundtrack, it´s sorta like a book shaped as a video game.

You can try Portal or Braid if youre into puzzles. Or limbo

Second life
That thing is dead bro, but I see why you suggest it
(click to show/hide)

still, there are some hilarious (and a bit scary) vids like this guy who comes into houses where people can´t kick him
"We could have been the greatest of friends, but now we´ve become the greatest of enemies."

Don't play Second Life. It is neither a game nor a re-affirmer of the medium if it was one.

Dwarf Fortress (use a graphical mod so its playable)
Tagpro

More people should play ageods games... they got thrown out by paradox for been too hardcore (okay maybe because they are too niche but its nearly the same right?)
