Age of Empires

I have a really bad urge to play Age of Empires II right now, and for me that is not a good thing because I will be playing AOE II for hours. I can honestly say that my addiction to Sims and AOE II type games could be just as bad as cocaine, just saying. I once spent about 3-6 months of my life playing Zelda for NES and I would not stop until I beat both worlds. I realized that I had a problem when Kyle came over to my house and I was sitting in my gaming chair and I had Zelda maps printing out of all the castles and the general game layout laying on my lap, bed, chair, and floor...it was a serious problem. After that I became addicted to Zoo Tycoon and I played that for hours everyday trying to make the perfect zoo... :) It was pretty fun. Age of Empires has always been there though...I just have to be in the mood to play it and I can play it for hours, days and even weeks...I have a sad and lonely life...I really want to get Sims 2 or 3 for my computer, but at the same time I don't because I know what it would become...just me alone playing Sims and not leaving my room or having a social life. One of the reasons that I will NOT play WoW is that I know for a fact that I would get addicted and it would take up too much time and money. 


Oh, AOE II is a game where you create your own civilization and then there are other civilizations that try and kill out yours. Through out the game you advance to different stages in time (from the feudal age to the castle age etc..) and with each advance you get better stuff; military, housing, buildings, powers. You can also have allies during the game and you can choose where you want to play and who you want to play as (Franks, Mongols, Celts, etc..) and I typically play as the Persians because I like their Elite Mamalukes because they do a lot of damage and their bombardier towers are the shit! It is pretty much the best game ever...

  1. Isn't Zelda a girl? I thought is was Princess Zelda? Did I miss a joke!

    I have fond memories of AofE, though I was not very good at it. The gods would become irritated with me. :) Apparently I don't take something seriously enough!

    There are some games that will just suck me in. Pretty much any Mario game and I'm toast.

  2. You missed the joke. :) A lot of people think that Link is Zelda...because they do not know enough. :)

    I am amazing at AOE II and I think I am going to go play some right now and waste some time! :)
