I bought Civ4 from the D2D site $5 sale, and finallygot it working.
That was one of the worst things I could've done.

All weekend long gaming session, blowing off everything and everyone as all my time get consumed by taking over the world

I must delete this game from my system and never turn it on again.

strategy games suck.......all your time from you.

They rock during that time though.

I once played Civ IV for eleven straight hours. While doing that I watched the entire eighth season of The Simpsons. By far my favorite gaming memory from single-player gaming.

[BlackNMild2k1]

I just played for about 2 straight days.

I watched countless hours of television while I did it.
It was overly engrossing and even though I enjoyed it, I want my weekend back

[NWR_insanolord]

What speed do you play it on?

[BlackNMild2k1]

I played it on normal.
It was my first time playing since Civ2 I forget how many years ago.

the last involvement I had with strategy games was some version of cossacks...i played and played and played....heaven help me when star craft 2 is out.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

You mean that same StarCraft 2 that you'll have to buy 3 times?

[ThePerm]

are they charging a full price for each campain? i didnt hear about that! lame!

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Yes, 3 campaigns, each full priced, each 2 years apart.

hmm, you know i never payed much attention to the story in star craft. I read the manual...the conversations at the beginning of the level were there,but they to me as an 8th grader at the time were in the way. I thought the fmvs were damn nifty, but by the time all of these are out it will be remake time....    its already been more than a decade since the last full game not counting the expansions.

I made sure to steer clear of that.
