Exercise and Laziness, pt 2

[rowyn]

Me: AHHHH I need to stop playing Civ5 for a while. I'll go for a walk and get some exercise. Oh wait, all my clean jeans are still in the dryer in the basement, because I didn't bring them upstairs when they finished drying. Last weekend. Maybe I'll just wear a skirt ...
Also me: Wait. You are going to wear a skirt, even though it's less comfortable than jeans for walking, on a two-mile walk. That you are doing to get exercise.  Because you are too lazy to go to the basement?
Me: ... when you put it like that, it sounds silly.
Also Me: There's a reason for that.
Me: *gets the laundry out of the basement*

I'm not saying HATE it -- I'm mostly saying, 'be aware of endemic flaws in the game' and maybe I'm saying 'mod it' and maybe also 'don't be addicted to it when the predecessor is better and deeper and allows more strategy anyway'.

The Stacks of Doom really ruined Civ IV. And a lot of the criticisms (in the article Rowyn shared with me anyway) didn't seem to still be in the game in its current patched state.

One of the earlier articles was like that, but there were like, four articles at that webpage, the most recent few are more relevant to the patched game.

Even the latest wasn't about the current version.

Well, are the patches sufficient to invalidate most of the problems in the 'what went wrong' article? This one here? http://www.garath.net/Sullla/Civ5/whatwentwrong.html
