out in Norway

Hey

Just picked up my copy in Oslo......

[Slartibartfast]

I've got it! Bought it in downtown Oslo a few minutes ago...

Right now I'm admiring the artwork and the rough texture of the cover..
I'm sitting with the CD in my hands. It's smooth and round, and oh so shiny... I can let my fingers glide gently along the edge, feeling the tension build...

...I need a cold shower

I'll keep you posted.

I've done it.
I've installed Civ III.

I could feel a serene calm filling my body while watching the progress bar...
Then the intro movie...
The setup screen (I had to let fate decide - I put absolutely everything on random)...

And then - the magic moment... Just like 10 years ago when I played my first game of Civ: My very own first settler. All alone in the world, blackness engulfing him from all sides.

Don't worry, little one. I'll take care of you.
Oh yes. My precious.
