I will admit it here first, I am a huge sports sim nerd!!! Is there anyone here who plays sports sims? I highly recommend picking one up if you need something to take your mind off of liberals.
Here is my favorite all-time time waster (not really a time waster, this takes me away from all the crap going on in the world!) :
Out of the Park Baseball - The best sim of them all! Manage an entire franchise, including Rookie, A ball AA and AAA...bring players up over the years, trade, do it all. I enjoy this game very much.
