I did this too, just picking up Civ IV since my lame laptop can't run Civ V. I played the tutorial scenario last night, and I've been thinking about it literally the entire time since then. I even dreamed about it.

In case you want to play it for historical research into the series? You want to play Civilization on a laptop that you've had since 1999? I do have many good memories of CIV 3, but CIV 4 surpassed it in nearly every way.
I've played them all and I still like CIV 4 the best.
I haven't played a game that's less for me than Antichamber in a long while. I'm pretty "meh" on the Portal games, but hot damn did I hate Anitchamber.
THE SWAPPER is what got me to buy. I have MONACO and GUACAMELEE on other platforms--you would probably dig those, Josh. GUACAMELEE is a very well done Metroidvania game, even to the extent of making fun of itself at being so slavishly devoted to the genre. Tons of jokes in there too.
