My Mom Keeps Taking Civ3!!!!

[Zild]

My major problem of late has been my fiancee nagging me to stop playing so she can watch Star Wars. Given that she typically despises all sci-fi (and anything in space with a particular passion) I'm actually beginning to look on the bright side of this

At least I won't have to watch Bridget Jones Diary every other day from now on...

Boy, this is great stuff. Jude, that piece rocked. We should have that posted here as a warning to all who play this game.


Warning: Playing this game may cause you to become like this kid
Then have a link to that site. Should be the first thing all new people have to read.

The thing is, I do have a life. I'm fine with the 2 hours a day for playing civ3. it's just that my mom keeps forgetting to give the CD back to me, so for a while I'll have civ3, play it 2 hours a day, be happy, then she forgets it for a while. The cycle then repeats.

I haven't read all the thread at this point, but if nobody else came up with it, what you might try is to buy a small plastic or metal box that you can lock and leave her with the key. Of course she might just lose the key, but if she puts it on the car keychain you'll probably be fine.
