Hi all of you,

What games do you play when you're tired and just want to mindlessly waste some time? Any recommendations?


EDIT: I didn't mean to mark this as a question but I did so... free rep for somebody! :P

The sleeping game works well for me; the UI is really inconsistent for it, though, so experiences may differ.

But I also suggest tetris.

edit: Actually, OP, I think this might be just the game for you.

Diablo 2. Seriously matches all your requirements perfectly to a degree where it's not even funny anymore. I just had a little Diablo 2 relapse myself, fortunately it's over now :)

PS: And if I'm too tired to play even mindless games, I watch 80s comedy movies. And if I'm too tired even for that, it's definitely time to go to bed.

Well the answer is obvious its Fifa14 best sports game of the year Bafta winner. ;)
Any game that let you save at any point, no matter what's going on. For example, I prefer Skyrim, just because it's the only game that relaxes me... ^_^
I've been too tired to play a lot lately. I find that the games that are most likely to wake me up are roguelikelikes like Spelunky, FTL, or Binding of Isaac. I don't know, I guess the fast and calculating nature of those games causes my brain to speed up or something.

Oddly, if I start playing before I get tired, I can play Pirates or Civilization all night without noticing if I'm getting sleepy. If I start after I'm already tired, though, I will nod off.
I've been playing 7 days to die after a long day of work at the moment. Nice relaxing game that lets you mine, shoot some zombies and build things.

PC Game or any console/smartphone game?

If PC Game, does it needs to be on GOG?

Well, if it is to just pass time I play Marvel Puzzle Quest (I even created an Alliance, you can join "Liechans" if you want)

If it is a PC Game, usually any flash game will do.

If it needs to be on GOG, well, I would go with Baldur´s Gate.
Majesty . It's really relaxing, but without feeling like a casual game .
I waste a lot of time playing Caesar 3 in the City Construction Kit mode with the gods turned off. Burns time and can be picked up again without a problem . . over and over and over. Reaching the data limit is a bummer though.
Any of the Civilization Series. Civilization 4 being my favorite time waster. I hope you meant by already tired, you were fighting to stay awake, because Civ will cause you to forget all about sleep, food, water, wife, pet, job, and occasionally bowel or bladder movements.

Sleeping game FTW. The gameplay varies, sometimes even with consequences to your trunks :D

Yeah, but thankfully most players have learned enough about game controls to not suffer unfortunate consequences after level 5.
