    I honestly don't have time to play games at work.

    But a few years ago I did, and I spend all that time on dating websites looking chics to score in the evening.

    It's much more efficient, in the end it gave me more time to game ;-)

    Unfortunatelly.. or fortunatelly I cannot access any games at work... nor game sites. Everything is blocked. I guess it's good as I would  be tempted to at least browse forums LOL.

    There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

    An interesting question. I get to work at home, so my work computer is right next to my home system.

    I never play games while working.

    I did play DAOC while working from home. I would do crafting. You could buy a zillion supplies, and then just hit the button to craft every minute or two. Mind numbing, but easy when you can just work, and then lean over and hit a button every now and then. Not sure that qualifies as "playing".

    same for me but that's what a smartphone is for:)

    I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

    What are you working that you have time for games ? O_o

    Writing some sentences in a Forum alright, but playing games ....uhh

  • BenediktBenedikt Member UncommonPosts: 1,406
    i do play The West (the-west.net), browser games with long timers are ideal for work, or doing autoquests (once per 30 min, usually i do remember like once per 1-2hrs :) ) on AardWolf mud

    Ah but thats the beauty about Carnage Blender, in the 5 minutes you spent on the forums you could have done some pvp / gained xp.

     

    And as I mentioned earlier, there is a set amount of battles / hour ( so it limits your non work activity) 

    :)

    GW2, Rift, SWTOR

    But I work from home, so I do not know if this counts :)

    3. Pretent to work while surfing 7 hours a day (1 hour is lunch break)

    4. Write emails to other who ask you to do something explaning how you are not responsible even though you are.

     

    I wish my company would allow computer games to be played, at least those make me happy.

     

    This

    But also forum PVP (check my post count)

    and of course FTL !!!!

    interesting topic. I would like to know some great mobile MMOs that can be fun on the road. I believe Order and Chaos went F2P now and no longer sub based correct? problem is it requires Wifi to play, which I dont have when working.

    wow I can only imagine in the future being able to play my favorite MMOs on the road with my smartphone somehow..

    Have you tried The Infinite Black on mobile?  Probably one of my favorites when I'm on the go.

    I don't play any games AT WORK.
  • vindirvindir Member UncommonPosts: 68

    For twelve years I was a roofing contractor and there was no way I could do any gaming of any sort.

    Now I have the luxery of being able to game at work; any game, virtually any time. Right now my career is a 24/7 type where I am always "on,"  but not really. I get to schedule my own time so longs as what needs to get done gets done. That being said there have been days that I spent all my office hours in mmo's. However there have been days where I was going to do some gaming, but had to shut down due to an emergency of sorts. That plus I get to work with youth often and sometimes that means LAN parties, xbox and mmo's

    So I know we all get bored at work every so often and for those of us lucky enough to be in front of a computer with an internet connection we have some options.

     

    I've been playing a game called Carnage Blender for the last couple weeks:

    Carnage Blender

     

    Why is it great?

    1. Its text based so it wont catch peoples attention as they walk by your desk

    2. It has a great community of helpful players

    3. Its PVP and involves major strategy

    4. Super addictive.

    Carnage Blender

     

    So what games do you guys play when you're supposed to be working?

     

     

    None, have more then enough work at job to spend time for gaming. Only place where I play is at home, as it should be.
