So yesterday morning, my plan was to play a bit of Rimworld. As usual, I log in to Forge and see what's going on. Someone had mentioned that Steam was doing a free weekend for Civilization: Beyond Earth. If you don't know, I am a Civ junkie. When I got my first computer (that wasn't a parents), the game I bought with it was Civilization 1. I had obsessed about that game for so long. I played the heck out of it and its ancestors.
I'm not really sure why I never tried Beyond Earth before this. Sure, I had Alpha Centauri, but it never really stuck with me as much as normal Civilization. The game pretty much fell off of my radar, until this weekend. I went ahead and downloaded it. I'm glad I did. I ended up having a lot of fun and the time just flew away.
It just so happened that the game was on sale (40% off). Faced with the prospect of not finishing my game, I gave in and bought myself a copy. The Steam machine does it again! So for the time being I will be playing Beyond Earth. The MMO disease will flare up again soon though, so I'll be back to them.
