I was a freshman in college when Civilization 2 came out, one of the most addictive computer games in the history of that inglorious pastime. I think that, all told, that particular obsession
probably cost me an extra quarter in school. Several years ago, after hearing me fondly reminisce about those halcyon evenings conquering the known world from my dorm room computer, my wife bought me the newly-released Civilization 3 for Christmas. I soon came to realize that if I were to have any hope of completing a graduate program before the birth of my great-grandchildren I would have to part with said gift. Now, Civilization 4 is out, just in time for the holidays: it shall not pass the threshold of this home. If you really want to show me you care, buy me a book. Preferably with footnotes.
But in the meantime, if you want to procrastinate what you're really supposed to be doing and get some sweet Jedi lightsaber skills, click here.
