Hello!
I've been playing Civ again now for a couple of months but I'm thinking of stopping playing it and throwing the disk away...not becuase I don't enjoy it but because its too addictive and enjoyable!
I've found I'm getting more and more addicted to it and don't think I've had an early night since I got the game! Its making me tired and I seem not to be motivated to other things anymore like sports and go out so much. If I had the choice of going to a party or having a ight in with Civ, I would probably honestly choose to play Civ which I now realise is pretty dumb
I know its a brilliant game - one of a kind hence the number of people who've played it so much for so long but I can't seem to limit myself to a reasonable amount of time when playing the game and I'm irritated when I something else comes up that means I can't play! Seems silly to me and I've never been in this kind of situation before - its the only game I've ever played...but its just a game!
What does anyone else think? Have you found ways of playing sensibly? I'm probably playing for around 10-15 hours a week and I've realised the VAST amount of other, fun, healthy, interesting, challenging things I could do with that time. Are there any solutions?
Don't get me wrong - the game is brilliant - but for me, I have just realised that it is only a game, and unlike football which I also play regularly, brings no benefits to my health and fitness. The 'one more turn' problem is a biggie!
I think tonight, I will be uninstall Civilization and throw it away...however, like that shot of the archaelogists digging up pieces of a fallen empire in the game, it will always remain in the annals of history for me!
