Clicky games
I don't do clicky games.
In general, I'm not a gamer. I have done a few sessions of a LARP before I wandered off, bored. I have never tabletop gamed. I despise first-person shooter games, and 007 makes me nauseous. The only sorts of games that I will play are puzzle-type games, like Bejeweled, Tetris, and that one one on-crack game that involves bouncing heads around that stick to each other and explode. I love those sorts of games, and will rack up insane scores on them.
Unfortunately, I am also subject to the Curse of the Geek. While I can stay on LJ for hours, commenting and posting and reading, I can't do anything that requires mouse work, especially heavy mouse work, for more than an hour, slightly more if I get smart and put on the wrist brace beforehand. I stretch my hands out often, but it's not enough to play games, and the payoff for game-playing is not worth being permanently crippled.
So, as a rule, I don't game, and I get petulant if I'm recommended games that are click-heavy, and annoyed if I'm recommended first-person-shooter games.

"Crack" is a mild word.

If you send me an e-mail (sraun @ fireopal.org) reminder, I'll look up the Linux version the next time I boot that laptop.

(I appear to be mixing up my bubble games; I now remember that the one I only ever saw for the Mac was called Puyo-Puyo.)

Bejeweled and Bubblet on my PDA. Won't play either of them on my PC.
