    It's technically Tuesday already, but nobody needs to know

Here in MURICA, the only country that matters, it's still Monday. Thank you very much.

I think I'll start a session of Master of Orion II tonight. I'm in a bit of a nostalgia mood.

Now that is a game that I have not played in a million years. Does it still hold up? I went down the Galactic Civilization route and never looked back; I even paid the $100 for GalCivIII and all future DLC.

It holds up relatively well actually. It's funny, cause it's actually a much more difficult game than I remember. That, or I've lost my edge. It's one of those games where no matter what race you play, you have to rely heavily on tech tree development if you want to do well. All other racial modifiers are really secondary, whether they involve manufacturing, resistance to harsh environments, etc.
