It's official: Civilization is just too damn addictive

It's official: Civilization is just too damn addictive

Video: 2K and Firaxis Games want you to know - Civilization V is a threat to your life, your relationships, and your erectile function.

There's no escaping the fact - the greatest threat strategy gamers are going to face in the next six months is Civilization V. This highly addictive game, coming out in September, is a life-wrecker.

But that's okay, because 2K Games wants to help you be forewarned. The CivAnon program is for junkies who crave one more turn, and it's here to help. And you've got to believe this serious threat: we saw just a small portion of Civilization V at E3, and we're still jonesing.

We'd do... embarrassing things for more of Civ V. We're not proud, but we can admit it. And CivAnon is here for people just like you and me.

So be alert, be alarmed. Together, we can fight this. NO MORE TURNS!

"thats too many erections" = she is getting jealous!! lol

"we have 3 children" = she cheated on him coz he was too busy playing!! double lol

looks like that granny wants to grab some balls.

Out of all the games I have played in my life. CIV has clocked up the most hours. CIV II being in the hundreds and hundreds. Even CIV Revolution on DS for when im too tired to sit at my desk-- I take it to bed.

NO MORE TURNS!
