Support NeoGAF

[krpiper]

I mean games that you can play in a window easy enough, while you are doing something else, such as watching TV or something. Preferably something that doesnt have a huge reliance on sound, and is dual monitor friendly

Games that I have so far:

Minecraft
Popcap Games (PvZ or Peggle)
Kerbal Space Program
Fairie Solitaire

What else do you have GAF?

 

[Wario64]

Dark Souls

 

[JeffGrubb]

FTL

 

[The Mana Legend]

Torchlight II

 

[krpiper]

FTL

Oops I forgot about this one, Great game BTW

 

[Emitan]

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup

 

[davonaytor]

Binding of Isaac is fantastic.

 

[Backfoggen]

Diablo 3.

 

[Canis lupus]

BF3, its the only way I can play it.

 

[Sethos]

Dual monitor friendly? I've had exactly one game that I couldn't play in fullscreen while having MPC running on the other monitor. I always watch a movie, a show, a stream or something when gaming ( If that's what you meant by it, if not I do apologize ). However I feel most games a dual monitor friendly because there's always something running when I'm gaming If I can't have something running I just get bored of the game quickly.

 

[insin]

POWDER

 

[bobeth]

EVE

 

[antitrop]

League of Legends.

I spend more time Alt+Tab'd to my second monitor than actually playing the game.

 

[dimb]

I usually just play Minesweeper.

 

[Deleted member 102362]

TF2 trading.

 

[SaggyMonkey]

World of Warcraft, especially for knocking out boring stuff like fishing or archey.

 

[HoosTrax]

Borderlands 2

But really, most any game that isn't:
a) [competitive] online multiplayer
b) horror
c) rhythm game (Audiosurf etc)

I don't see why the game in question has to be a non-resource intensive one. A decent PC can run modern games perfectly fine on one monitor while you're watching something real-time on the other monitor.

 

[yoshizzle]

WoW

 

[Blablurn]

Football manager series from sega

 

[PBalfredo]

World of Tanks. Real easy to jump into a round for a few minutes between web browsing.

Also FTL

 

[Bomber Bob]

 

[Grayman]

I played Asheron's Call in a window so I could chat and browse the web easier. MMOs are a good candidate because of the longer play sessions and they usually have some down time that more focused games do not.

 

[Alexios]

Infinity Engine games.

But really I play almost everything that supports it like that...

 

[Nimajneb]

SpaceChem. It's definitely a game where you want to do something else while thinking of possible solutions.

99% of the time I'm playing a PC game I have a StarCraft 2 stream running on my 2nd monitor, even just for background noise.

I don't think you read the opening post, unless you really do play BF3 will multitasking.

Anyways, "windowed" pc games are what I think of as the games I can stealthily play at work. Bejeweled 3 and Dungeons of Dredmor or my go-to's since they can run on anything and they are turned based so I can minimize and return at any time.

 

[antitrop]

I think because of the turn-based nature of XCom: Enemy Unknown, I would count it.

You thought wrong, I did read the OP. I can only play BF3 in windowed mode, it doesn't register my mouse input in fullscreen playing on a plasma.

 

[Ubersnug]

Eve Online!

Triple boxing ftw!

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

WoW

TF2

 

[StayDead]

Transport Tycoon Deluxe (don't play it often, but when I do, gotta have dat money rolling in in the background)

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

This!

Also "Same Game" or Spider Solitaire from an old windows classic game pack i have had for years.

 

[AlexBasch]

ePSXe. Just tried to play some PSX classics in the PS3 and goddamn, don't like it one bit.

Playing PS1 games on my 40-whatever inch television is unbearable.

That's really weird. Maybe it's time for a new hobby...?

No. All you care about is judder, maybe it's time you get a new hobby.

I'm only a casual LoL fan at best (not even Level 30), but that was hilarious.

I have no idea what I just watched. The Invoker look-a-like guy was basically Zeus KSing from spawn?

At the moment Battle for Wesnoth. You can get it for free from that link. Prior to that it was VVVVVV.

Torchlight II seems like a great fit, too. I loved playing through the first game.
