P.S. A good case of angsty adolescence will last until you're in your mid-20's.

Why be an underachiever? I'm 34 and my angsty adolescence is still going strong!!!

I've met a number of 4X gamers who know a lot who nevertheless didn't make it through college.

Being addicted to 4x games has a way of keeping you from graduating college

I never even went to college-I dropped out of highschool, for that matter.

I can say that with pride, since I have a decent job (that was held by atleast 1 person in our company with 7 separate degrees), a wife, and a mortgage.

I still want to go to college though, after the mortgage (hopefully, not after the wife, if she can stand putting up with me that long).

All right, I'm going to own up to some pretty severe terminological ignorance, but what the hell is the origin of the term "4x game"?

Google, do you use it?

"4X refers to a genre of strategy game, usually a computer game, with four primary goals: eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate. A 4x game can be turn-based or real-time. The best known example of this genre is Sid Meier's Civilization series."
