Or at least she’s stunned me with her unusual enthusiasm for Pirates!
Normally I suffer long suffering sighs from Polly when I’m playing games. After watching me play online games to death (ah, free time, thou should’st be living at this hour) with friends and then even suffering my playing of Half-life 2 at top speed before we came overseas she tends to adopt a tolerant attitude to my indulgences (or at least she goes and indulges herself and leaves me to it). But having built my new toy I’ve found myself hard pressed to get any time of it, thanks to a certain lass lusting after some swashbuckling.
What will make this worse is that I’ve just bought Civ IV. It’s great, if a touch buggy (honestly, development standards these days). And it’s time consuming, which means less Pirates! time. Or, more likely, less Civ time for me – I know my place.
On the upside I’m rather chuffed to find a game she likes – the last was Diablo II. It’s always nice to share interests, even if those interests involve sitting on the settee staring at a wee box…
