Tales of a Civ Addict
Stayed at my Aunt Carla's last night, which was nice, it gave me a chance to get in a little bit of a visit, plus I got to play Civilization III. For those who don't know, the Civilization games are the only computer games I've ever been truly addicted to (though I am quite fond of Zoombinis) and it was my Aunt Carla who introduced me to the orginal Civilization several years ago and then later, she got me hooked on Civilaztion II.
Yes, I'm totally a closet-case nerd. There are many dorky things I'm quite fond of. I just don't usually admit it. Of course, my choice in friends should make it at least a little bit evident that I'm kinda geeky.
Let's see, other than that, today was the first day of the Kelley Armstrong board (of which I am a member of the online writer's group) Toronto meet. Today, there were only a few people, as the main event as on Saterday, but it was still nice to meet people face to face. Though, I actually skipped the excursion to Niagara, because I just wasn't feeling up to it.
Promises to be a busy weekend I'm sure, but that's always good...

Well, as a fellow 'Civ Adict' I can tell you civ 4 is head and shoulders above Civ 3. Aside from the new elements it adds(religions, civics), it fixes some of the problems with 3(resources, while still important, aren't quite as 'breaking'). Yeah, I would suggest buying it in the strongest terms.
