My Reelity

“If you’re a fan of the incredibly addictive Civilization strategy series and haven’t bought Civilization IV yet, you can probably stop reading now to go buy the game.”

That was the first sentence from a reviewer that gave it a 9.4 score, one of the highest score ever accorded. Within days, the game got sold out island-wide, and the three hours I spent trying to hunt down the game will bear testimony to that.

When I finally got the game and poured through its more than one centimetres thick game manual, I was surprised to find an open letter written by Soren Johnson, who is the Lead Designer and AI Programmer. The content of that letter made me realise that this game above all else, was a labour of love.

And yes even though I’m the kind that 不信邪, I have a feeling I may need to sign up for “Civilisation 4 Anonymous” soon…

“It may feel so real inside

So pressing words kinda helps in this aspect. Of course, there are still certain technicalities to it, and there are cetain things I cannot do as easily as before, but I think on the whole, its all good. In fact, I think I am starting to pick up the Greek that is HTML coding, just by pressing words.

Its always good to learn new things. Coz they help you stay young.
