It's debatable whether or not CandyLand can actually be called a game, as there is no input from the player whatsoever. The winner is already decided when the cards are shuffled. :P
Seriously though, I really don't know. At one point I said I wanted to be a video game designer (who didn't?) because it sounded so glorious on paper, but then I realized that i have neither the skill set nor the desire to do that kind of job. I'd love to be some kind of analyst, as I'm the kind of person who gets genuine enjoyment out of examining data in front of me and trying to come up with definite conclusions from what I see, but I'm not sure that even that is something I could hack doing for prolonged periods of time. I guess I really don't know. :(
I LOVE board games. I have 4 or 5 Scrabble-type crossword building games, and my favorite one is Upwords, so if I feel like a word game that one wins out. Chess is my favorite if I want a pure strategy game, but it's such an obvious choice that I feel almost like I'm cheating by selecting it. Blokus is also a favorite if I feel like something a bit different. I'd love to get into some deeper and more complicated European board games, but I don't know anyone else who would have the interest or patence to get into them with me.
I'll admit to finding some of those amusing, despite my general snobby, high-brow attitude. :) Although not accidental, this list of top 50 pun stores scratches a similar humour itch: http://www.bspcn.com/2008/06/07/the-50-best-pun-stores/
A continuation of the Zork series would be great. I loved what they did with the last one (The Grand Inquisitor), and I'd pay good money to see a new game with a similar aesthetic. A Psychonauts sequel would be great too, but everyone always says that, so I'll shut my trap. ;)
I'm committed to beating this game without using any FAQs or guides, but I think I've pretty much done all I can do and am feeling a little bit aimless. I'm SURE I'll beat it at some point in my life, but for now, I'll have to live with a mere 289/350 points. Has anyone here actually finished this game, without cheating? If so, you earn my respect forever. :)
