    Oh! Thursday! It's here already (how'd that happen? It seems like only yesterday it was Wednesday). Isn't there something I'm supposed to do
    on Thursdays?

    Oh yeah... free game time!

    It's a tower-defense game. I mean, I guess it's an
    okay tower defense game but if that genre leaves you
    tired then I doubt this one is going to revitalize
    your interest. But it makes The Number happy,
    anyway.


    Well, checkmark that daily task. Now I'd better start getting ready
    for Friday. I hear it's coming up soon.

    well I got it but I don't think I played a TD game for at least half a
    decade

    Can I get a refund?

    Every now and again I try tower-defense games. They don't hold my
    attention long and, on the whole, I don't really remember them. There
    was a whole franchise --the "Anomaly" series-- that I kept going back
    to just because I couldn't really believe ALL of them were really that
    shallow. The one I played most is some no-name mobile game I had
    (probably still have) on my iPad, whose main benefit was it was so
    simple a round could be finished in ten or twenty seconds.

    I don't really dislike the genre and I don't want to imply --despite
    the snark about the shallowness above-- that they aren't fun games. I
    think if they're your cuppa tea, that's great, but they never really
    made me want to keep playing.

    I got into TD from the advent of it - Warcraft 3 originated the premise
    AFAIK. I thought it was very very fun and completed all of Defense Grid
    (but then they upgraded it over time with more maps and much much more options).

    Fair enough, they are very disconnected feeling games which I don't
    always like.

    I don't get what you mean by disconnected here? In what sense?

    Like, in terms of not directly controlling the action, but just placing autonomous buildings.
