Gaming Sick

[Bison]

Anyone have a "comfort food" game or genre that you like to play while sick? 

I've got a hellacious head cold and cannot sleep any more.  I put in a solid 16 hours straight.    Right now I'm just struggling on deciding which game to play.  Something that doesn't take a ton of concentration or twich reflexes.

I'm sure I'll come up with something.  Most likely something like CIV V.  Turn based and not a ton of number crunching.  Something that will allow me to nap or space out and not forget what I was doing.  Or perhaps NWN 2 or Dragonage.  Slow paced RPG goodness.

I used to play Steel Panthers.

Maybe give Naval War a go?

Sign up for netflix and watch comfort food TV shows on your PC instead. If you have a Wii, PS3, or xBox you can watch on that as well. A couple of cheesy SyFy movies might do the trickl. Or, watch a few episodes of A-team or lost in space. Netflix also has more military docs than you can shake a Falchion or Ballista at.

When I'm sick I go for something lighter - typically Minecraft or something like that. Sometimes I hit an action RPG. I certainly DON'T play heavy hitters or stats-heavy games.

Although I do tend to go for Dwarf Fortress, which isn't exactly "light."

I would agree with your Dragon Age: Origins suggestion. No big rush playing it.

Steam and Iron or WC:NAW as well.

I just downloaded the demo for Sniper Elite v2 on Steam and I'm having a blast.  Give it a whirl if you like slow motion scenes of your bullets flying through the air and then tumbling through viscera.  (Love the slo-mo internal organ damage cam!)

World of Tanks - go arty

The Diablo games are good at taking my mind off general misery. Vessel is good at that too.

The Drift, 1879. Not too intellectual, but wargaming at its finest.

Civ 5 but if I'm feeling to bad I usually watch TV online or get lost watching Youtube LP videos.

Well I went in and out of several games, but it was all a no go.  I've been watching the Stanley Cup playoffs instead.  I've got Shogun 2 reloading now, which should be done installing sometime this year.  I most likely mess around with that later on.

^I have to think a lot when playing TW. But that's just me.

[Bison]

Yeah.  It's pretty slow paced though I find.  Even the battles, which I tend to play in super slomo.

[Gusington]

Hmm...well you do get to think a lot before you make your moves, both in the campaign and tactical parts. But I suck more than usual when sick. Try out Vessel dude.
