This fourth of July, I started the day at a family dinner pool party, spent the early afternoon watching BBC’s Sherlock with my grandmother who instantly fell in love with it, and tonight, I will be in my home study playing Civilization V Gods & Kings probably until 4 or 5 a.m.
However, I have discovered I have been outclassed! This will not stand. Exhibit A: This is my Civilization V setup …
My setup for Civilization V Gods and Kings … I haven’t been using the room because the furniture companies are still dropping stuff off (hence the delivery tags) but I’ll break in for the game.
Exhibit B: This college student hooked his laptop up to a 64″ high definition television screen, just like our friends Ashly and Ian out East. I need this! A trip to Best Buy or Nebraska Furniture Mart will be happening shortly. Better yet, I need to create a Civilization V war room like the White House Situation Room. That would be amazing.
The best part? The soundtrack will be through the Bose surround sound system, meaning when I declare war, the game will be intense. I don’t want to go to work tomorrow … but I will. I should. This needs to happen ASAP!
Update:
I played as General George Washington and the United States to celebrate Independence Day. I crushed the world. I turned on my youngest sister, who betrayed me in a game three nights ago, and burned her cities to the ground.
If you have never seen how nuclear missiles look in Civilization V, watch this demonstration:
And this one, but start at 28 seconds:
