I skipped Civ2. I had Civ1 for SNES and now I have Civ3 (w/ PTW and Conquests). Over at Civ Fanatics they still have a Game of the Month for Civ2 though. So you can go there and bask if you want.

well I was hoping we would talk about warcraft3, and that it would turn out that everyone here plays it all the time, and loves it like a newborn child of a pandabear. but as it turns out, only one or two people even know what it is. I was thinking we could set up a great big game where achwooders duke it out with little orcs running around on videoscreens.

I know what it is I was just inducted into the C&C side of the battle for RTS supremacy. Kind of like for a while Nintendo people would buy a Genesis.

I'd play with you guys if I:

a) had a free copy of the software
b) knew how to play
c) knew how to connect to other people playing
d) knew that it wouldn't take me 3 years to learn how to play

I mean, is it really that good?  Or is it just fun kitschy nostalgia for you?

I just might be able to arrange this.  Legally, even.  I'll get back to you.

b) knew how to play


It's easy when you know how!  Seriously, it's probably the most intuitive interface I've ever seen in a game -- with the possible exception of "Black & White."

c) knew how to connect to other people playing


You'll have no trouble with BattleLAN -- the program DoomGlobe uses.  If I  could figure it out (albeit after a couple of false starts), so can you.

It takes minutes to learn...years to master!

Well, it depends...are seven Game of the Year awards good enough for you?  How about nine Best RTS awards?  12 Editor's Choice Awards?  3 Gamer's Choice awards?  And my personal recommendation?  

If that's not enough, brother, I don't know what is.

Come on Jough... It's WARCRAFT!!!
I tried to resist, but then got it free and there was no going back.

Unfortunately I just got a world pass fo FFXI so I'm kind of stuck on that at the moment... As well as playing a lot of BF1942.

Yes, but only for the US, Canada and Korea.

I'll be off sulking in the other room...

(Although, what with this being the gaming section - I had an interview at Rockstar North this afternoon! I am praying in all sorts of delicious and juicy ways that I get this job!)

Rockstar North made my new favourite game, "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" although I'm at a point in the game now where I have two possible missions - one involving flying a remote controlled helicopter and dropping little bombs, and another involving being a "guardian angel" to a drug deal, killing Hatians with my sniper rifle, and then having to chase after one of them on a motorcycle, which I always run into a wall and fly off of, causing my prey to escape pretty much instantly, which sucks.

Yea, best bet is to shell out for a controller, or a ps2-usb controller, since otherwise it sucks!

And thanks V.
Needless to say, they made my three last favourite games, so I am really holding out for this job.
Probably won't hear about it til Monday however.
Their offices are lovely though!
