Gamer Keeps Civilization II Game Going for 10 Years

Have you ever wondered what a game of Civilization 2 would look like after running for 10 years? According to one gamer it's a "hellish nightmare of suffering and devastation." "Lycerius" says that he's been playing the same game of Civ II off and on for over a decade. Some highlights of the marathon session include: 1700 years of war, the ice caps melting over 20 times, constant guerrilla uprisings, and "Roughly 90% of the world's population has died either from nuclear annihilation or famine caused by the global warming that has left absolutely zero arable land to farm." It's too bad you can't build the Hanging Gardens more than once.

Reddit reruns

Really? We're in the middle of a presidential reelection, syria is in strife, E3 just happened, Macworld is in full swing, literally hundreds of new IvyBridge laptops/ultrabook models have been released, Lenovo announces a no-contract wireless data plan at a reasonable price, and it's a "slow news day" so slashdot is rerunning crap from the front page of reddit? Really?
 
Oh CmdrTaco, how I miss you. Did your non-compete say anything about creating a competitor? I'm glad you got out before the corporate drones sucked the last life out of Slashdot, but you couldn't have established a safe haven for the rest of us?
