In the past couple of weeks my apartment has become obsessed with Age Of Empires 3. Even though it came out over a year ago, we just got really into it all of the sudden. So last Monday about 10am my roommate Peter comes to wake me up to play a game or 4 before I have to go to work. Even though we stayed up till 6am the night before playing, we started out first game of the day. But at 11 am everything went dark. We sublet a basement apartment and when the power goes off you know it.
Well just because the people we sublet from didn't set up the power, that didn't mean that we couldn't play AOE3. So we devised a plan and immediately packed up our computers and went to the Ross Academic Center to play computer games. Sure, it seemed kinda weird saying "yeah man send me some wood then we'll attack green!" in a library but then again the only people around were football players and female athletes. They wouldn't judge us. It was like the World of Warcraft episode of South Park, but in public.
When I got home from work I was jonesin for some more, but the academic center was closed, so we took the party to the basement of the Union and rock some solid games until we were kicked out at midnight. The game is addicting and we spent a solid amount of time sitting around the apartment on a Saturday afternoon playing computer games and rejoicing the power being turned back on. So if you think you can defeat me I play a mean Dutch and a meaner French.

Dutch are the easiest -- once you get banks, you're all set. Challenge yourself... be the Russians.
