My sweet ride
1978 Cadillac
I had an 8-track, an 8-track to cassette converter, and a cassette to CD car kit. My car got broken into...they took nothing. -
Dragon Warrior II
I was visiting this friend named Barbara. I noticed she had an old 8-bit Nintendo, and Dragon Warrior II. I started playing. Barbara grabbed the maps and started navigating. We played until the sun came up. We are married now. -
Civilization III
Someone was once explaining about WWI. I asked why the Germans and French fought over Alsace-Lorraine. They explained that region had both iron and coal deposits. I thought "I've started wars for that." -
Civilization II
I played this with my wife. We particularly enjoyed the Norse Mythology mod -
World of Warcraft
I saw it on the shelf. I read the back. You would be playing with thousands of real people at the same time online. I felt my pulse speed up. Then I remembered that I was married. I had no money. I had other things to spend my time on. I think Barbara my have saved my life. -
Civ IV
My son started watching me and asking what was happening. -
iPad
The school district gave me an iPad. -
Contest of Champions
The low-cost "low time commitment" app game that my wife and I have sunk hundreds of hours on in the past 2 years. We even had to upgrade our iPad. -
Civ V
I got this for my birthday... but my computer couldn't keep up. Then last year the district got me a laptop. :)
