Wargame is regularly used as a verb out here in skiffyland. The hyphen is a little weird.

I haven't read anything since the Baroque Cycle. Not that that was bad but it was kind of burnout-inducing just by scope, and I haven't been in the mood for anyone's giant tomes since. It kind of reinforced Zodiac being my favorite.

I used to wargame as a teenager.

As of this year, WARGAME+, WARGAMED+, WARGAMES+, WARGAMER+ Get with the times, bro.

I try never to use the word "bemused," because even though I know what it really means, it always conjures up "wry amusement" when I read it.

I find myself bemused by the usage of that word by others.

I'm about 4 hours into the (27 hour) audiobook. I have such faith in him that I deliberately avoided synposes and summaries and previews of all kind. When the premise got set up in the first few minutes, I knew it was going to be a good one :)
