Poll: What do you play when you need a break from elemental?

I'm finding that the game can get a little dry after an hour or so and some of the UI and bugs can build up frustration and I need another game to play to balance this one out.

What do you play when you need a break from Elemental?

I'm playing Batman Arkham Asylum. It's the perfect counterbalance to elemental.

I've been playing some S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat with the Call From Pripyat mod. Also, some team Starcraft 2 with friends.

Good series Stalker

I mainly play FFH, but since Rife (a ModMod) is waiting to be patched too... I decided to avoid playing and get some work done, in order to play "MOAR ELIMENTAL" when it's stable...

I play starcraft 2, interesting and fun in short doses then elemental. (Starcraft gets exceedingly tedius after a few games)

I just played a satisfying game of MoM early in the week. Full nature magic with barbarians. I haven't tried that combo before.

I can't play Elemental with the fps my rig gets. So while hoping for a patch that would solve the issue I've been playing Starcraft 2, Anno 1404 and Settlers 7 mainly.

I just purchased GalCiv2...which is almost as addictive as Elemental. Almost. I also have been playing the demo of Sins for Solar Empire, and recently downloaded Mount & Blade demo. Really like the combat, but game feels very amatuer otherwise. I also bought HOMM5 a few weeks back and have been dabbling with that...gets boring after awhile. And HOW did they not get sued by GamesWorkshop? The Blood Maidens look identical to the Witch Elves, lol. I had to buy it though, brings back nostalgia...I used to play the heroes chronicles games when I was like 12.

Would play Starcraft 2 but no LAN play so we get extreme pings to play with a mate sitting next to you because you're sharing a net connection with 1000+ people deployed overseas.

Reinstalled AOW:SM and been playing that, its losing my interest pretty quick though as its so easy. I do enjoy the graphics and depth but its easy to exploit AI.

Started up SOSE again the other night to try out the bailknight's graphical mod. Was thinking of playing it today but looks like the patch for Elemental will delay that

Besides that contemplating purchasing a new laptop and researching to decide between i7 720 or 920 and if I should wait for USB3.

When not playing Elemental:

1. my girlfriend

3. myself

4. The Guild 2 Renaissance (even more buggy than Elemental, but then it appears all JoWood games are).

5. Dragon Age

When Civ V comes out I'll be playing it a few weeks, then I'll be back and forth playing both, then I have an obligation to go back to The Guild 2: Renaissance and mod the living hell out of it, then back to this. I'll just play this game until I can't stand the little voice in the back of my head screaming "Tweak this! Change that! That would be cool add that! Go look at the code and try to figure this out!" then I'll probably mod this game until I get Burnout Syndrom, release all my mods in a mega pack and take a Hiatus.

There's a pattern here.

Nothing. I find myself playing Elemental and when not, I'm dealing with the XMLs and textures. Not that I don't have an SC2 campaign to finish or other games waiting for my attention...

Dwarf Fortress of course!

I play Age of Wonders: Shadow magic and Age of Wonders. I also play Star Trek Online when not playing Elemental

I don't play Elemental at all yet because it is currently too expensive for me. I'd have to give up one of the MMO's I play to pay for it.

I was playing Metroid Prime Trilogy. Finished Prime 2 and started Prime 3. Had to stop because holding the Wiimote pointed at the TV is just getting painful. Now, I'm just bored waiting for Elemental 1.07 to release.
