Day 1294: Civilization

CivilizationIVI thought I would go through the Big Hairless Ape’s computer to see what kind of programs he has installed on this machine.

After looking at some pretty boring stuff, I came across a game called “Sid Meier’s Civilization IV” and was instantly hooked! I’ve played it all night and day yesterday. I even missed out on some of my naps due to this game.

There is just something about it that appeals to me. Sure, pitting Ape against Ape has its attraction, but what I loved is being able to tell these Apes what to do, where to go, and how to die. It kept me in a state of constant purr. 

Being a history simulator, it’s pretty accurate; kill those Apes from the other nation. Nuke ‘em if you have to! As you can see by the screen shot above, that’s exactly what I did! You’d better hope that Cats never get their paws on the actual real-life button!

I won the game by building a space ship to take me to Alpha Centauri. Perfect! An Ape-free planet for Cats to evolve without the constant testicle-hacking of Apes. Think of the glorious things we’d achieve! (After napping of course.)

If I could just find a mod for the game which would allow me to raise an army of Cats. Now that would be true entertainment!
