Hi Ellis. I haven't been around for as long as you have on WGT but it's fair to say I'll have played as much as anyone during my time, excluding Spozz & Yoban.
I go though days every single month where I shout, curse, thump, throw and all but stop short of taking a fit in my fury with myself and the game. I wake up the next day and the boredom/anger/frustration with the game has disappeared. I have no idea why? I have no idea why I have not consigned WGT to the been there, seen it, done it pile along with C.O.D, Empire Total War, Civilisation etc.
WGT is a bit like Tomacco to me. Tomacco being what Homer Simpson produced when he accidently cross bred the tomato and the tobacco plant. Tomacco tasted like crap but they had to have another after trying it, lol.
No matter how fed up with this game I may be on any given day, I keep coming back for more the following....
