Civ 4 definitely feels dated nowadays, but I can't properly get into Civ V due to that one unit per tile thing. Makes me micromanage armies more, in a macro game. I prefer Total War if I have to micro.
 
I will never tire of Civ4 and ROM: AND (Rise of Mankind: A New Dawn otherwise known as that mod Tolni so shamelessly plugged in) is the main reason why. How do I explain it? Well, if you are familiar with Caveman to Cosmos, then imagine it a little like this- Caveman to Cosmos is a fat man you've met who turned out to initially be interesting, but as you got to know him better (ie halfway through a game) you realized he was pretty boring and all his topics of conversation sounded the same,and that sometimes he didn't make sense. AND is that same fat man trimmed down to a perfect weight with additional charisma and intelligence and personality added on top. Know you are talking to someone who can hold a conversation and your interest, and only rarely speaks out of his rectum. Suddenly, he's your best friend (ie you've played eighty hours, and are still planning on playing more).

Basically, AND is a hyper focused Caveman to Cosmos that starts from 6000 BCE, and is constantly fixing bugs and game play issues.
 
It's actually the other way around. To use that same analogy, AND is a smart chap who keeps himself in condition, but C2C is that same fellow who's hit the bottle after his girlfriend left him.
 
Turns out I have an uncanny knack for alienating myself from people without realising how or why it happened, it's only a matter of how long it takes before it happens.
 
I'm just tired of it all.

Funny you say that, I'm getting enraged by everything

I was planning on saying this tomorrow but eh I'm here now:

I've been ignoring the fast approaching wall but on wednesday it's going to hit me head on and my life will be ruined forever hoorayyyyyy
 
lol not really a rant, but I just sent my boss a link to a funny image I thought he would like, and wrote SFW right after so that he knew he could open it if he was at a meeting or whatever. No boobs, etc. so he wouldn't be embarrassed by opening a non-professional link among colleagues. Or whatever.

Anyway, he laughs at my link, then comes over 15 minutes later, pops his head in my office, and says: "What does SFW mean?"

The rant is.. 1. you don't know what that means?? 2. can't you google??
 
Google?

Seriously, though: what happens if you google "google"?

edit: I've just tried it. And I've just popped back to tell you I may be away for some time.
 
Borachio survived the Blitz, but he never expected that he would find an enemy far more dangerous than Nazis.

The time-wasting powers of Google!
 
It is if you just google "google". I've tried it nearly a hundred times so far and it doesn't look like I'm anywhere near an answer.

It's a trick, isn't it? One of those recursive thingies. All it keeps telling me is that "google" is google. Not helpful, if you ask me.

Still, I'll keep trying. It may eventually change its mind.
 
I can't tell if you're a comical genius or if you're just trying too hard to be.

rant: snowy rain and other poor weather scheduled all week.
 
Eh? I'm sorry?

I'd say I'm just a confused person. The best thing to do is ignore me. Otherwise I'm likely to just go on and on.

I may do anyway, though.
 
We need a "CFC Loves Borachio" thread. Please.

You guys have the same post count from the same city, do you hang out?
