 ====== Had to delete 0 A.D. today ======
-Alright no kidding I have very addictive tendencies when it comes to playing games.  I get locked in on strategy games like Civ, Red Alert, and others. After I loaded LinuxMint (DBE) and started using it as my daily driver a friend of mine recommended I load 0 A.D.

+//0 A.D. (pronounced “zero-ey-dee”) is a free, open-source, historical Real Time Strategy (RTS) game currently under development by Wildfire Games, a global group of volunteer game developers. As the leader of an ancient civilization, you must gather the resources you need to raise a military force and dominate your enemies.//

+I decided to delete the game after about 20 hours of game play.  Not because its not a great game and a very impressive demonstration of the power of opensource collaboration, but I had to drop it or I wouldn't get anything done.   I have been blogging more and working on side projects more these days. I may load it again, I mean I really did enjoy the game, but I need to handle these games with caution or I will be 4000 hours in and not doing anything productive in life.
