Fuzz on my eyes once again

[joe4iz]

I just finished my first campaign (Teotonic) and I have over 12 hours in it. I was up to two AM and did not realize it.

I know a lot of folks have complaints about the game. My only complaint is no sleep!

[_Tristan_]

Yeah, I could voice the same... I played last night from 9 PM to 3 AM, getting up at 7 AM to get to work...

So i'm a bit down under at the moment...

My only complaint is no sleep!

I also have a big complaint (for vanilla, no Kingdoms yet). I got a sore neck from playing almost a whole night. Not to mention lack of sleep

12 hours, is that it

When i used to play Rome a couple of years back, My sessions could last days if i had enough smoke and beer

It would be the same here if the lady would only let me but I think that if I put more than 6-7 hours at a stretch, it's a divorce case...

You manage to get 6-7 hours

Please tell me how you get that one past the wife cos I'm lucky to get 2 hours without being told off

I play at night when she sleeps and lie about the hour at which I get to bed (shame on me...)

For a long time of my married life, I use to have a secret plan to find myself a job in the gaming industry, be it in a gaming magazine, development studio or website and have myself a permanent ultimate excuse – ”hey honey, I am bringing work home tonight and need to play...errr...work late again, sorry”.

But alas, my career path took me elsewhere so later I employed a strategy that whenever I was torn away from a game I was addicted to at the time, I would talk about it constantly and in great detail, be it my latest conquest and strategy in RTS games or my adventures and character development in RPGs - until she got tired listening to me and said ”oh shut up and go play your stupid game already...”

Nowadays we have sort of unspoken agreement and reached a status quo – as long as I fulfill my fatherhood and husband responsibilities and the only thing I am sacrificing is my own sleep, I am free to play all nights long and unofficially allowed to drop dead the next morning or call in sick.

I am trying to not abuse this situation too much and save it only for games that really worth 12 hour long gaming sessions, red eyes and kids trying to remember who is this strange unshaved man walking around the house mumbling ”just...one more...turn/level/boss...”

I'm hearing you there mate, my missus is always screaming out at the top of her lungs while she is lying in bed wanting me to turn the computer off and come to bed.

I think I might take Barvas' advice and start talking about the game in depth, its a sure winner! She'll tell me to #$%#^$ off and play the #$%^$% game.

Thanks Barvas you may have just saved my relationship with my m2tw.
