    There comes a time in a man's life where he has to make a decision, and it's not any easy decision.

    So...

    Prison Architect or Sniper Elite III?

    Well thanks for the help guys! I just got both because my self-control is about as reliable as a dial-up connection.

    Now who wants my spare copy of DEFCON? You gotta do the quiz, and then I'll randomly choose people at the end of the weekend my time. Assuming you got the answer right.

    According to ____, in the game ___________ the only winning move is not to play.

    (2 marks)

    Oh and you can't enter if you already have it. I'll be checkin'.

    I was going to say Sniper Elite, but my rationale didn't apply to you so I figured I was better off saying nothing.

    Looks like I should have.

    Joshua: A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

    I knew it was Wargames. =P

    Fun fact: Speaking of Wargames and Introversion, did you know that in their game "Uplink", there's a Wargames Easter egg that may have inspired DEFCON?

    There's a website in the game called "Protovision Games Server", if you access it and type in the password from the movie (the password can't be cracked like a normal one) you'll be shown a list of games. You can't play all of them but there's an invisible option at the bottom that takes you to a map screen with several major cities on it, when you click on one it'll show a nuke fly down and hit the city.

    Even cooler, after you do this if you check the news bulletin of Uplink's internal services system, an article will appear saying that the U.S. computer system was almost tricked into causing WWIII.

    (I'm guessing Introversion REALLY liked Wargames.)

    Why wouldn't anyone like Wargames?


    So are you in or not?

    Well there's only two of you and I've just assumed tehtrekd was in. I flipped a coin. Squishy gets heads because he was here first and heads come first in the "most important part of your body" competition.

    It's heads! @squishypon3 blunders into victory! PM me a link to your steam profile and I'll gift it to you sooner or later.

    Gonna have to disagree with that one. Can't live without your head, but living without certain other bits would be worse.
