I love to mp because it gives me a chance to play games with friends.  However, my constant Civ BtS mp friend is the all time worst at being slow.  Granted, the game by its very nature induces caution and planning, but, some of my wait times with him are interminable!  And yes, I have been known to take a fair bit of time in executing my turn, but, I wish you could experience this.  I've actually timed some of his longer turns and they stretch past fifteen minutes.

That's the whole reason I stopped MP, turns just took forever in most games :/

Not that I don't love you all...

So, how do you keep your turn times down?  Less units?  Less research?  Less chance of winning?  What?

Play single player and then no one cares how long your turn takes.   :coolsmiley:

LOL! Less time flapping my gums when it's not my turn and pre-planning what to do.

Man, I've got a bad case of gaming ADHD right now. 

So far this weekend, I've played Medieval Total War/Viking Invasion, Armada 2526 Supernova, Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes, Distant Worlds: Universe, NeverWinter Nights: Diamond Edition, and Star Wars: Empire at War...none of which I've played more than an hour or two.  :-[  I just can't seem to f***ing focus for any real length of time.

^I get into those ruts as well sometimes.  That's when I stop playing and do something else to take my mind off of gaming.  It's only during the time away from playing that I get an urge to play something.  Then it's back to business again.

Played quite a bit so far, all computer stuff.

Slammed, which is an interactive fiction game where you take on the role of a n00b wrestler trying to make it big. I'm not a wrestling fan but the storyline looked interesting. Steam sells several interesting stories, and the publisher has others that aren't available through Steam. Very inexpensive. If you like Choose Your Own Adventure type books, you'll definitely appreciate the stuff that Choice of Games churns out.

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, which I just saw for sale today on Steam for less than $5. Couldn't resist. Been wanting to play a CoJ game for a while. Very, very linear with zero open-worldness to it, but the action is a lot of fun.

Sid Meier's Starships, which I bought pre-sale and just finally spent some time with tonight. Got my butt kicked, so I need to go back to it at some point and try again.

I broke out my box copy of B-17: Queen of the Skies with the intent of playing for the first time in easily over 25 years. Started an AAR thread in the forums on it, too.

I want to get to either Cruel Necessity or Ottoman Sunset/Hapsburg Eclipse this weekend (more drawn to the latter two).

Also highly distracted by House of Cards on Netflix...

I'm only five episodes into Season 2. Will probably watch another before I crash tonight.

I'm finding my opinion of it to mirror a lot of opinions I've read: Season 1 is amazing, Season 2 is...pretty good. I've heard 3 is meh/decent.

I know, I'm a terrible person for not binge watching it all just so I can tell you my opinion.

Haven't you started watching it yourself?
