Is it sensible to admit to an addiction on a blog? I don’t
know, but I am gong to risk it. I am addicted to Civ V. For those of you who
know nothing of it, this is a computer game in which one tries to build a
civilisation and to beat the others trying to do the same. I find it completely
addictive.
I get home of an evening and I have to be very firm with
myself: Civ has to wait until all the outstanding work is completed and there
are no outstanding jobs to be done. I know that, once I start playing, the
chances of me returning to anything work-related are slim to the point of
non-existence.
Eventually, I have finished all the emails, written all the
papers, made all the notes, completed all the presentations. Then, and only
then, I hit the button to open the game. Who will I be tonight? Will I play as
Caesar or Nebuchadnezzar? Shall I continue yesterday’s game or start a new one?
Last week I had great fun as the Japanese Emperor annihilating the French and
the Germans!
I realise it is very juvenile, but you know what, it is good
fun. Whether it is good for me is another question altogether. Perhaps I should
be out playing?
