Much like a codebase, some of the brilliant engineers I've met relish the video games that lets them scour around the universe, think about strategy, and get into action. It's like watching someone attempting an Olympic weight-lift move.

Unfortunately I don't play games myself. But Anno 1800 is something my very good colleague plays these days.
