Oh god! I love tower defense but I hate the ones that sort of force you to crunch numbers. Maybe this is why I love games like Orcs Must Die and Dungeon Defenders :)

Defense Grid 2 (and most good tower defense games) are fundamentally puzzle games. Solving puzzles is fun for lots of people. I'm one of them, though I haven't had time for Defense Grid 2 yet.

I have 6 industry characters in EVE Online. My usual calculation software is broken, so I'm having to do everything manually.
I spent 5 hours going through markets, costs, profits, construction times and fuel costs yesterday.
This reminds me when I played OpenTTD. Trying to build an efficient railroad, build atop an outdated railroad system. Also, managing signals to maximize the number of trains in the same rail. Also using the same rail for many different routes.

I do believe this comic refers to mission 12 "Incursion" in Defence Grid 2. I too kept loosing a core on wave 10 and that was just not acceptable.. I must have tried that mission 7+ times tweaking tower placements and upgrades just to beat wave 10. It was a lot of work but it was worth it in the end
Well I'm not like this with Tower Defence games (not a genre I'm a fan of), I've got papers spread all over the place for modded minecraft stuff. Sometimes the problem solving really is the best part.
This is me and my fiancèe perfectly. When I'm playing Civilization I'm in deep thought about how to proceed, and she's looking at me like "that is not the face of someone having fun."
I was trying to play this game on Competitive Hard without losing cores ... but after about the 7th level I just kept running into walls. Finished the game on Competitive Normal.
I think they should have allowed tower items on competitive hard and orbital as well on competitive elite.

[url=#user_comment_351732]@Verteros[/url]: Yep, it looks like Defense Grid... I discovered that game a while ago, and I'm having a blast with it... It's amazing that such a simple game can be so much fun. Games like Battlezone, Defense Grid, Sanctum, Orcs Must Die, etc, are simple, yet amazing. Reminds me of the good old 90s :P
Yeah, I know this!
<Playing a turn-based game>
Me: Hmm, this enemy is weak for dark magic, but I wear an item that buffs my ice skills... Should I attack it now, or may be buff myself, or...blah-blah-blah...
My friend: JUST KICK IT WITH SOMETHING!
People look at me this way when I play Wartune, but through research, study, and min-maxing, I've done things they haven't. Things they could only dream of being strong enough to do.
Get on my level. Then give me your credit card, I want to upgrade my sylph(pet) to legend.
