The Syndicate

Not in that it was one of my favourite arcade games. I had seen it around but it wasn't a deliberate nod in that sense. It was just a cool name, and when I took the handle (World of Warcraft) it suited the character I was making. I don't really know why it came to mind in that moment.

It is the origin of the 'golden' handle, though.

ancient history > medieval history

I still use my trusty CDs lol!

I've been playing Hearthstone too! It's pretty addicting as far as mobile games go. What's your battle tag? (I'm Jersh#1300).

I've been playing since it came out, but the new expansion made the game a lot more fun. Especially Yogg-Saron. Praise Yogg.

Goldenaxe#1308, but I haven't been seen in the last month or two (I'm so busy).

It'd be fun to play with y'all if anyone has the games or acquires them. The two I play the most often are Age of Empires 2 (with all of the expansions) and Rise of Nations.

It doesn't have to be competitive (I suck anyway). Co-op versus AI teams is fun too.

I still play AoE. Forget AoE2 lol!!!

I never got Rise of Nations, always meant to though, but still not ruling it out in the future.

I rarely invest in new video games any more, because I have less and less time for them, and I still get enough enjoyment out of the classics I've already got.

EDIT: And I realise this is not actually online.

There is a game coming out soon that I want to get which looks quite good, but I always forget what its called. It has a sprawling universe with billions of stars and you get to name stuff if you find it first.
