I was supposed to be productive today. I was not.
Last night I took out a five year old computer game, “Majesty”. I really got sucked into that.
The game is like Warcraft, i.e. real time strategy. The big difference is that you aren’t in control of your troops. You can only give the access to resources, like better weapons and magic items. It’s up to each individual to fight, explore or run away. Their choice. It’s an interesting twist, and I enjoyed going back to it. Of course I got into the “five more minutes” trap.
In the evening there was a RAOG. We tried out “Pimp: The Backhanding!” Totally politically incorrect, but good clean fun. I won the one game we played. Even got my favorite “Ho” into my stable. Good times! Then we played a variation of Empire Builder, but set to the rail system of Britain. We didn’t finish that game (it’s still a long play time) but everyone seemed to say that I won.
