Are we living in a fantasy world? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

I'm beginning to wonder if getting somewhere in the game is becoming more important than getting somewhere in life for many of us

It depends on your point of view. I always loved history and this game lets me express this in tangeable terms. If your missing time with your family, or missing time at work/school, then chuck that evil silver disk in the trash!

Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Well, I don't know about you, guys, but at least I live a dual-life; at night-time I wear latex, go to the streets and use my super-powers to fight evil and make the world a better place. And in my coverage-life, I'm just a regular nerd playing Civ II all the time.
You don't believe me??
Good, at least you won't find out my true identity
So, all the superman and batman-stories, were, in fact, inspired by (who else than) me.

No offense intended but living with your parents isn't the same as having a family. It's your job to blow them off and do what ever you want (I'm assuming your a teenager or close to it...). Wait till you have a wife and kid(s), then try balancing work, family commitments and game play. Sometimes they don't make enough hours in the day to do the first 2 much less the third...

niteowl: At least I don't have to worry about my wife bugging me about Civ2. She plays also. I'm almost worried about getting a 2nd PC, because she'd want to play multiplayer and she would likely kick my poor widdle Carthaginian butt


Narrator: Then niteowl stomps off mumbling something about that gosh-darn Cleopatra and her mindless Egyptian minions.

I have it easy compared to some of you. I'm not even a teen yet. I can play Civ once I get home from school, unless I come here or have a project due the next day.
