GC2 12 Step Program

May 3, 2006 2:22:22 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Seriously! We need a 12 Step program! This game has taken over ALL my free time! Can't read books, can't watch TV, can't get a decent amount of sleep anymore...

Could you folks maybe come out with a 'make game less interesting' mod pack? I need my life back!

Step 1: Admit that you are powerless over GC2!

I'm reading a book (Terry Pratchett's Nightwatch) between turns on the gigantic galaxy game I'm playing now.

Terry Pratchett owns my soul already, so I have no worries about galciv2 doing it.

Step 2: Apoligise to loved ones about your problem.

I'm managing to read Neal Stephenson's "Cryptonomicon" (all 913 pages of it) whilst also playing Galciv, so I think it might just be personal weakness on your part CitizenJonnyEntropy

Not much they can do about the addicting... I mean existing version.

For future versions, though, they could follow in Creative Assembly's footsteps and team up with publishers like Activision and Sega, whose execs will demand that each progressive release will be geared more and more toward the discerning and sophisticated 10-year-old gamer. By the time they come out with GalCiv 4: Hissy Fit of the Poopy Lords, which will require Mommy to log in for you before you can play, you will be well cured of the addiction.

Have you considered that playing the game is a choice? Granted using too much time to play the game was my choice, too, but it was still my choice. The choice not to play the game during finals week was again my choice. I could have chosen to blow everything off and play the game, but instead I chose to not play the game. As hard as that sounds it really is easy. And yet it is hard. But it's easy.

You didn't play games during finals week? Isn't that what finals week is for?

Oh well, I guess that's why I studied throughout the year; so I wouldn't have to cram during finals

Actually, for some, they only need three steps. Load, save, crash. It seems to work pretty well, although it does have the side-effect of causing frustration, but... it seems to be a nice trade-off for your life, social or otherwise, am I right?

DAMNIT! They fixed all my crash bugs in 1.1, so now what do I do.

GCSEs... must... be... done...

NO PRECIOUS! WE SHALL PLAY THE GALCIV GAME!
no... No! we pokes it's motherboardses out!
(My girlfriend actually tried that. That's what you get for going out with a tech-loving girl. Go downstairs for a cup of coffee... come up and she has a screwdriver and my case open "It's not what it looks like!" )

Dang it, MarshallONeil, my coworkers are looking at me strangely now because I was laughing out loud! Seriously, that's the hardest I've laughed all week thus far. "Hissy Fit of the Poopy Lords"--classic!

(And yes, I too was disgusted with how RTW turned out.)

I have said it before, and I will state the fact again.

The Mind Control Center is not just an in game feature. The devs have modified our computers EM fields slightly with an ever so subtle, but ever so real, Mind Control Center that is embedded into the .exe file. It is so subtle that the virus checkers don't pick up on it.

But, I know it is there.


I know it is.




I just know it.





Can't control my own thoughts anymore.
All I can think about is the next battle, the next upgrade, the next embassy, the next game...
