Games I play

 * La Pucelle Tactics
 * Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
 * Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories

This list is exhaustive.

I used to be a more broadened gamer but, in my old age, have narrowed the spectrum to a specific type of game that I like: the Turn-based Strategy. And then I further narrowed it to a few specifics; the near perfect incarnations of TBS presented by the aforementioned games. I play them the same way other casual folk play Bejewelled or Collapse. I just kick 'em up and enjoy a 30-45 minute brain teaser now and again.

PCSX2 : The Power of PS2 Emulation
I play all of the aforementioned games on my PC anymore, via the PCSX2 emulator. I find it way more convenient than the actual PS2 for a number of reasons:


 * Save states ('nuff said right there)
 * Can pause the action any time with a quick hit of the Escape key; no more need to fumble around for a remote with a mute button if the stupid phone rings.
 * Higher resolution graphics: All three games look much sharper at the zoomed-out levels, which is both pretty and functional (easier time seeing units and such).
 * Can load a game in 4 seconds, instead of the marathon 1-2 minutes needed to boot through the usual plethora of PS2 startup crap.
 * (subjective) I really honestly prefer controlling Disgaea games via the keyboard. I suspect most people would not agree with me on that one, though... and that's ok.

And most importantly:


 * No need to leave my computer chair to enjoy my favorite games of all time. Just click-and-go.
