It doesn't matter when to me. Just something I was thinking of as I was so proud of myself for figuring it out. I'm sure if hubby was home he would have known, but who needs them.

After some quick Googling (@Cybirdy OT idea), it appears to be a first-person shooter. I've never really liked first-person shooters. It doesn't appear to be anything special or innovative. Maybe it has a really good social media presence.
The difference between it and most fps games is the speed of play.
In Fortnite:
A: Once you die you die no respawns.
B: The map progressively gets smaller to hem all remaining players into a ever smaller area so this gets each round over with quicker and makes camping more difficult.
I'm in the know because my 10 year old really likes it. It's a big deal right now because a lot of celebrities are playing it.
It is a first person battle royale style game. You can play 1 vs 100 or on teams of 5.
The big thing is that it's actually a FREE game. You should be able to download it to your system or laptop. It's a shooter, but not overly bloody and has a more cartoony kind of feel.
I personally stink at it, because those that are good at it are able to kill me really quickly, but the kids are digging it for sure.
Sounds like it's for people with no attention span.
It also doesn't appear to be on Android yet which is probably why I've never heard of it until now.
That's a multiplayer game, but pretty much every single player FPS or third person today consists of killing like 1,000 bad guys over the course of the game. It's getting old. There needs to be more puzzle and strategy in games.
People who enjoy first-person shooters are the "jocks" of gamers.
There's a mobile version, but I think you have to have an invite for it? Not sure.
Lots of games exist that have this and are not fps. They don't get a lot of publicity because a lot of people who play games don't want to think. They use it as a way to shutoff their brain for a while.
I guess I'm just the opposite.....I like games that challenge me, and (hopefully) increase my brain power. Also trying to head off dementia for as long as possible.
Now waiting for @jcyclonee's clever rebuttal.
I mean shooter and puzzle together. For example, I like the new Tomb Raider series, the first 2 games were great, however the puzzle stuff was optional and there wasn't that much of it. The new one that is coming out is supposed to be more puzzle oriented and less focused on killing bad guys. I'm the opposite, I like to think, I want something to solve.
I definitely prefer strategy games over "who can push their button the fastest" games.
My son did get the invite. He does not like the mobile version.
I don't have a clever rebuttal. I turn 50 on Monday, have a torn ACL and am definitely feeling the weight of my own mortality. Also, I came up with a list of 11 things I need to accomplish this weekend. All of which will take a minimum of a half-hour and that's before I even look at my wife's honey-do list. There's no time for sleep but I guess that's OK because if I go to sleep I'll probably just have another gross cricket dream. That last rapture/apocalypse thing that was supposed to happen on about April 18 did not come through for me. This one was supposed to be real. Now I'm just going to let dementia slowly creep in on me. Stay off my... whatever you call that grass area in front of my house!
On a side note, my parents house is having some issues with the foundation. Do you know anybody that does that kind of work?
The Legend of Grimrock II which came out a few years ago is pretty good. Looks of thinking to get through it but still with combat.
