Although I rarely have time to play computer games, I'm a big fan of first-person shooters. My favorite game of all time is 3D Realms' Duke Nukem 3D (1996), which blends a great deal of humor with all of the action and exploration that's typical of the genre.
For over ten years, 3D Realms ran a biweekly camera captioning contest in which a prize was awarded to whomever concocted the most humorous caption to a given photograph. The contest ws tremendous fun; I entered a bunch of times and have even won a few. The following are links to my winning and honorable-mention entries:
