Yeah, that's one of the good things about patches: how they can revive one's interest in a game that one has sort of set aside. I must confess that I sometimes "get bored" with even good games (not exactly that, but just stop playing them because something else snags my attention). A new patch, however, brings me back to see what's been fixed/improved

And of course the fact that anybody who plays a game so frequently and for so many hours a day like I do, at a certain stage simply needs a day off to recover and get renewed hunger to find out about the next challenge this game has to offer. Seriously, guys, during the normal working day for me it's almost impossible not to think of the next challenge SE IV will give me when coming home. What kind of excuses do YOU use to your partner to play this FANTASTIC game?
I've run out of the normal excuses

Thanks MM, Shrapnel and you Modders!

The thing that helps me get time to play is that we have a six-month-old baby. This is one of the very few games that can be played while holding the baby. Therefore, I volunteer to hold the baby ALOT.

Wait until the little one gets a little older. Mine is almost two, and that makes playing the game and babysitting almost impossible.

Actually I have 4 children in all, so I know that the "holding the baby" thing isn't going to work much longer. Actually, she is starting to get active enough now that it doesn't work all that well. It was great when she was only a couple of months old and would be perfectly content lying against my shoulder.

Oh well, things will at least not be boring!

Well I promised my wife I would take her to dinner if I win the twingalaxies tourney. That seems to have satisfied her for now. I am not sure what I am going to do after March though. I don't think "Honey, I have to be the top of the ladder!" is going to fly. laf
