Games are a warp hole when you don't have a control over yourself... And strategy games can be the worst, cause most of them last long, really really long... Of course FPS are more fun, especially on a network!
Started off with AOE, I even downloaded the demo of AOK (AOE2) from the Net on a Dialup in 2000! Took me ages! But then, my SSC vacations started, so a quick rush to the local piracy (oooops

) store, and got the full game! No seeing back...
In sleep I could see the heliopoli and ballistas!!! And when would I sleep? In the day, cause then the PC was used by dad too, so that way most efficient utilization!!! Food was boring, everything was fast food, sometimes, food was in the games, when the Mongolians were waging a war!
Found RR2 then... Oh boy, another good one... Ages and ages spent... People would swear at me for the continuous ding ding ding of the money making trains... Complain about how I'd lose my eye sight! (Luckily I am still with a 6/6 vision!)
But then sanity had to return... Can't keep playing... Got in control... And decided to stay off games for a long time... Still trying to do it though!
HAPPY GAMING!
