Lots of people watch movies, read books, or sleep on our team flights, but me? I love to play Sid Meier's Civilization. I discovered this amazing time sink of a game back in high school, shortly after the last DLC for Civilization V came out, and I've been hooked ever since. There was just something about building up a civilization and seeing if you could stand the test of time (or Gandhi's nuclear power) that allowed time to melt away, and you always wanted to just play one more turn, even if it was already 6AM and you've been playing for the last 12 hours. But this property comes in extremely handy on long flights, as I can always just pull out my laptop and open up the game. While 6 hours may have passed by in real life, it will have felt like half an hour to me as I've spent the last 4 hours trying to get my revenge on that goddamn asshole Alexander. When Dwayne Aaron was still on the team, we used to play all the time on flights, passing the laptop back and forth and working as a team to take over the world. Even without that, playing the new games and expansions continue to help me through the long travel times from the middle of the country.
