Mine Craft.

You basically dig up little cubes of dirt and stone, move them around, build stuff with them. Sort of like having an infinite supply of building blocks that you can stack up in perfect little lines. Very soothing. Almost like stimming.

Watch out for the zombies, though. They can be irritating.

Not seen that particular one. But it's freaking awesome. People making actual computers INSIDE of a game!! Very Matrix. Neo would be proud.

I played around with this, smashed some stuff, dug myself into some long holes...

but I don't really understand everything that can be done. Looks like something I could get into though.

Minecraft looks like fun.

I think that another good game for aspies is MySims for the Wii. The object of the game is basically to collect stuff and build furniture, and you don't even have to socialize, unlike in regular Sims games. :D Before my Wii broke, I loved MySims. I spent over 40 hours playing it. It's a lot of fun.

Oh wow, I get it now. You can ADD blocks too.


This is a lifelong problem for me: not realizing the full controls of a game and only using some of them.

Well now I can't stop playing. I've got a labyrinth of hallways underneath my towering house.

Yup.

Sorry. I didn't mean to give you a new obsession. But it's like mental stimming ...

It's pretty great. I'm actually afraid of the night. haha. I can't believe it's possible to get lost.

I don't know, I never played Minecraft especially because that game was what a few middle school boys at my school were playing that got everyone banned from the computer lab and I NEEDED A COMPUTER BECAUSE IT HURTS TO WRITE! Of course, I obtained special permission shortly after~

However, Pokemon is a game that was created by a guy who HAS Asperger's, Satoshi Tajiri... When I found this out, I was like, it's no wonder why I have been so obsessed with Pokemon ever since I was six...
