Mine's a quad-core. I haven't even heard of octo-core although I'm not surprised that they exist.

My old laptop was single-core and tended to be slow.

I did notice it harder to find stuff to post in yesterday. Maybe in the summr people have more "fun" things to do.

OK, we will add 4 hours to each day, but we'll also add 8 hours to the standard work day.

I wish it wasn't so hot outside.

Today was my first day of vacation I spent most of it playing video games and napping like a kitty, though.

I very rarely buy new games, since I'm mostly interested in the 2D era of gaming and don't really want to spend all that money on modern games and consoles or souped-up graphics cards for them.

Usually for games I do buy, I order them online or get them from a retail outlet.

Any other Civ fans here? What's your favourite game(s)?

Apparently I'm unusual since I prefer Civilization III. Never could get much into IV and haven't played V.

I like SimCity 2000 and 3000. 4 was always rather buggy for me, maybe I was missing patches or something.

Also Civilization, if that counts as a simulation. It did start out as a concept for "SimPlanet" then changed to more a strategy series.
