Civilization Anonymous : " I Said I Didn't Get Up."

Civilization Anonymous

Total Game Immersion. With 26 historical world leaders, 85 technologies, and 7 formal religions at their disposal, in many cases a hardcore Civ addict will actually think that he is “one” with the game, often mimicking the behavioral mannerisms, social interactivity and even fashion sense of historical figures throughout time. Genghis Khanism and Julius Caesarism are particularly accute manifestations of this syndrome. A Caesarism sufferer, for instance, can make a “Trekkie” (devotees of Gene Roddenberry' Star Trek franchise) look like a model of the acceptable social norm.

Prop's to Sylvain for sending me the above link which contains a linked pop-up to a 3-4 minute clip that will leaving you crying after laughing til' it hurts... In fact, I sent my response to who I thought was Sylvain, which included the titled quote, to a somewhat puzzled Uche as I couldnt see straight enough to realize I had clicked his his name instead of Sylvains on my IM client...

The video is where all the action is at although the site itself is pretty funny as well. But to save you the hassle of dealing with any misbehaving pop-up blockers or from extracing the embedded link such that you can bookmark just the vid, I've included the direct link below.

Thanks for laugh Sylvain! I was on my way out for coffee but I dont think I need it anymore as I'm most definitely wide awake from the near convulsions I had while watching this quick-flick.

Ahh.. I'll get the coffee anyway... It's my favorite part of the morning :D
