WHY AM I STILL AWAKE?

[telophase]

(a) Because I'm an idiot.
(b) Because I installed Civ IV, like an idiot, which means I got sucked into it.
(c) Because I was posting my last springkink pic. (rated G, Grimmjow/Orihime in a pose with a noted lack of sexual tension.)
(d) All of the above.

B.

Because that's why I'd be awake at this hour, had I not my own reasons ;)

Post descripts of how you play that game, btw!! :)

With a decent amount of difficulty, it seems, because it turns out that my sound and video cards aren't quite up to the task of making it nice and smooth. :D So I think I know what I'm asking for for Christmas - $$ to invest in upgrades.

However, playing Korea, aggressively building Settlers, and establishing a foothold on the bottom half of a very large peninsula seems to be a very good way of playing: I've just discovered radio and am working on rock & roll as of the early 19th century, and I'm way far ahead of everyone else. XD

(Also, my diplomatic habit of randomly contacting other civilizations at random and offering them a little bit of gold, or a few resources, as a gift pays off in spades, since they don't attack me. XD)

I stayed-up because of 'A' yesterday till 6:20am watching ALL OF "Loveless" o_o; [ahhh us wacky college students]

Hee. I went to bed at 12:30, but as I was exhausted from the day, staying up that late that was still a really bad idea. XD I'd originally intended to go to bed 2 hours earlier, but stupidly installed Civ IV.

The springkink pic looks awesome!

Thank you! :)

You installed Civ IV at a time when you couldn't stay up all night?

THAT was foolish. (Says the voice of experience....)

This is why I haven't bought the thing for a year and a half. But the Beyond the Sword expansion pack came out and I was powerless to resist. I only spent 2 hours on it, but when I started out playing (just to test it, of course!) it was after 10PM. *sigh*.

>is deeply envious of your Civ IV<

I have a new favorite civilization: I am currently pwning Spain, Native North America, Japan, and ... oh, damn, someone I forgot, by using Korea. I've got two opponents who can't even trade world maps yet, and I'm about to head for nuclear fission!

Mind you, I'm working at the easiest level and I restricted my opponents to four, so I stacked the deck a wee bit in my favor at the start. XD

I tend to play at tyro level most of the time. I mean, I'm doing it for fun, and the part that I like best is the exploration of the map and the business of fitting cities into it.

I might be more interested in the later part of the game if I had Civ IV, but it ain't gonna happen anytime soon ... this old Mac does 99% of what I need, it's silly to replace or upgrade it (which might not even be possible) for one game.
