I was in the mood for colonizing the world again... So I dug out my copy of Age of Empires 3 and set out to kill folks. And while I am most saddened that I was unable to complete my dominating victory because I accidentally unplugged my external but hey it's the thrill of the hunt that makes me savor it all...
Which of course brings me to wonder. Why the hell hadn't I touched the game in over 2 years? Was I so out of tune with my stratestician side? (Note: I don't think that's a word but I'm not in the mood to google it to see if it is.) Well yes I very thoroughly enjoy commanding virtual troops. I'd like to think I'm pretty good at what I do. I'd consider my abilities in such matters if not exceptional at least above average.
And here of course is the wonder. What is it about games that I very much enjoy that I don't bother to touch them again? It's happened before of course. Quite a few times. And it'll likely happen again with any number of other games that I've loved before and since.
Ah well. For the time being it's linked to my steam account. So if I should feel the urge to, I'll simply pull it up again and send my army of skirmishers to chew through my enemy. (Yes I play French :) ) (not too shabby with the Dutch either).
