Rome II

[MengJiao]

There was a local guy that people used to mistake me for. This guy got me in all kind of trouble, out at night to un-godly hours drinking and partying and seen with loose women in compromising positions. I used to tell people all the time, "That's not me. It's the other guy that did that shit. He just looks like me". Didn't work for me either Gus.

  Long ago, at the dawn of time, there used to be a bar with an arena where people threw chairs and used small flamethrowers.  Things would go wrong and i would get told "Well, just don't ever come back here."  However, it turned out if I came with a different girl, I was officially a new person for admission purposes.  And so the drunken stuff continued.

[Gusington]

I like the new girl standard better than the giant friend standard. Perhaps I can combine them both into a giant new girlfriend standard.

Yeah I used to know this girl that could really handle herself well. If I was at a bar with her and some guy got rude to me, one of 3 possible things happened. Either she put her foot in his ass-one. Two- if she liked him, she left with him and where her foot ended-up I don't know. Or 3- if neither 1 or 2 was called for, she left with me. In which case neither a foot or an ass was involved. And 1, 2 or 3 all resulted in my ass remaining intact. A win-win-win.

  And people think computer games get complicated.  Just goes to show, er....complexity....something.

[Gusington]

I think I married that girl.

[Sir Slash]

The last guy she left with did look an awful lot like Braveheart. Was that you Gus? Where'd the foot finally end up?

[Gusington]

Up in the air, quivering :)

So I finally get some peace and quiet and an hour to use the computer. I fire up Rome 2 and end up in a battle with 2 of my legions AND my navy assaulting and enemy city...biggest battle I have had. 1/2 way through my wife walks in and announces she needs then computer now to update the kids iPads and she is on the phone with apple support.

So I pause the game (can't save mid battle) and minimize the screen. 10 minutes later I hear "hey, I hope it's ok but I had to turn off the computer restart it."

So yeah, I'm pissed...but doubly so because last night I got the "hey, I need the computer for about an hour tonight". That was at 7pm...at 11pm as I am locking up for bed, out comes my wife.

So now I have to ask myself...is this worth a fight? Probably not but I'm steamed man...real steamed

This is why we have 'His' and 'Her' PC's. Saved a lot of arguments over the years I can tell you. Except when it comes to deciding who's turn it is for an up-grade.

Why did it need a restart? Wasnt it the iPads that were upgraded?

It's a conspiracy to prevent your ultimate victory

[Gusington]

The recent Steam update made my game pretty unstable today...some lockups and a crash. Anyone else?

[Sir Slash]

Don't feel bad Mikeck. I think it's a CA AI cheat built in to the game. Because every time I've got the enemy on the run, the phone rings, or the doorbell rings, or the cat needs to go out, or come in, or go out and in. And when I get that taken care of, then I have to pee. Some times I can hear the little enemy soldiers taunting me, "Your bladder's full. Your bladder's full". It takes real endurance to be a Wargamer these days.

Yes, I had one crash.. Then steam updated. Games don't like running when steam is updating

[Sir Slash]

Mine's been running fine and no update I'm aware of.

Apple needed to install it's latest version of spyware on all of it.
