Said it to me recently: "Is that really a game?"

I had Tracker open as well. Looked a bit like work I guess.

Lol @ RUPD. Crimguy's right though, Tracker DOES look like pretty serious work/business [:D]

My wife doesn't know or care what I'm doing on the computer, just that I spend to much time with it.&nbsp; Much of that time is shared with her in the office too on her computer at which time she'll sometimes say "That game again?&nbsp; You could use that time for studying Portuguese."&nbsp; She's right, but I'm an addict and not willing to give up playing.&nbsp; I tell her that it keeps my 2 remaining brain cells active.

I never thought that doing an AAR would be so time consuming and difficult.

Once I told her it was better to play on the computer instead of going to a bar getting drunk or gambling (like a lot of her coworkers husbands), she left me alone. Using a laptop is also good as you can follow her around the house faking interest in what's she's doing while playing.

Ironic isn't it, that one of the best "games" ever is a lot like work, can give you a headache, and takes up hours and hours of time.

Yesterday my wife said that I spent about 45 hours at work the week before and about 40 hours on the game.&nbsp; Didn't realize she was keeping track.&nbsp; Now I'm trying to figure out how to cut back on work to increase game time.

One day at work, I opened up the game to show to a co-worker. He said "That's not a game, that's another job!"
