  2. Games that don't require immediate button clicks can be relaxing. I bought RISK for XBOX from the store. I can take as long as I want to decide what to do, on my turn. I set one AI to aggressive, one to defensive, and one to balanced. makes for a fun relaxing game. I also enjoy a game of hearts on my PC now and then. Myst, although frustrating at times, is a play at your own pace, relaxing type of game.

  5. I'll likely get a Kinect at some point. I'd have to move my XBOX to the living room though to make full use of it. My XBOX is in my bedroom at the moment. That's where I lay back and relax when my back pain gets to bad.

  7. Do you have Xbox gold on your account?
    Not sure how much it is Canada, but here can be got for around £30/year

    A reasonable selection of well known games free each month with this (2 One games and 2 360 which are One compatible), plus offers on other games to buy
    I have quite a collection of games i have got during the years with this

    Not. yet, still in the mulling it over phase. I have to look at the cost. I'm on a disability income, it pays the bills but there isn't a whole lot left over at the end of the month. My Raspberry Pi addiction eats up some of that too.

  9. These tech devices do eat up your money *Sad

    If you do ever think of going gold, have a look at joining the xbox rewards scheme, this is free to join, you get points for every online purchase, when you have so many points MS credits your account with money to spend, with renewing my gold, i get about £8 back from the scheme each year

  10. I have 4 Raspberry Pi's now, a 3B, 2B, A+, and a Zero Calorie. And that's after selling two to Caperjack. It would be scary to add up all the extra bits for them I've bough over the years.

    My wife and daughter told me I could buy a game for the XBOX for fathers day, I may just buy a one year gold subscription instead, and get several games in the process. *Party
