Best game for a rainy afternoon?

I've got the afternoon free and nothing new to play. What do you lot load up when the weather is rubbish?

darkangel you ever played deus ex? perfect for a rainy day. also has anyone else noticed how the game's plot about conspiracies and surveillance is basically the news now? i swear some of those in-game emails match up with real stuff i've seen on usenet. anyone else find that creepy?

lol kev deus ex is good but its a bit slow for a rainy day. i usually load up cs and just deathmatch on some random server, kills time fast. or maybe some old quake if i feel like going old school.

deus ex is good but i'd go with quake 3 for a rainy afternoon. just load up a dm map and frag bots for a few hours. way more intense than deus ex's slow pace. or if you want something newer, counter-strike is always good for a quick game.

1. Deus Ex is too slow for a rainy afternoon. You spend more time reading emails than shooting.
2. Counter-Strike is the obvious choice. Quick matches, no plot to get in the way.
3. If you want old school, Quake 3 Arena. Just load up a DM map and frag bots for a few hours. Simple and effective.

Quake 3 is a solid choice for a rainy afternoon. Just load up a DM map and frag bots for a few hours. Simple and effective. Deus Ex is more of a long session game, not really for a quick fix.

lol siliconsam 'counter-strike is the obvious choice' is what people say when they have no imagination. also oldmanbyte 'load up a dm map and frag bots' lol you mean play against the same ai over and over. get a real opponent.

lol metalhead84 quake 3 is for people who cant handle teamwork. counter-strike is way better for a rainy afternoon, just hop on a server and own some n00bs. deus ex is too slow i agree, but cs is quick rounds and you actually have to think.
