		You know, I have actually read some developer comparing their games to movies... In average cost per hour of play... and concluding that the game was moderately better than the movie in terms of price. 
 
If I assume only an hour a day, over the years... 
SE4 is roughly $0.08 per hour!

		Atrocities, 
You obviously have some marketing talent.  That is quite a hook to attract people into this thread...     
BTW, I couldn't agree more.

		Hmmmm, the only game that sparked my wife to intervene was me playing MEDAL OF HONOUR ALLIED ASSAULT at full volume on my surround speakers.. 
The main reason was that my wife's old German friend was staying over.  I cannot stand the German friend and my wife thought me shooting up half of the Wehrmacht was not appropriate hospitality..
 
Can't understand why, the girl got a bed for the weekend didn't she?

		Today is a holiday        but my wife says playing games today brings bad luck        and going against my wife's advice  always brings bad luck      
So I'm going through SE withdrawal and compensating for it by reading the forum.

		You mean I'm not the only one who's wife has developed a spontaneous eye-roll reflex whenever she hears the words "Space Empires"?
