House Plague: AOE 3

Certain members of the BOX who shall remain nameless have fallen victim to a problematic scourge. Age of Empires III is a computer game that incorporates medieval game play in a strategy setting; during this game, one can play against other people set up on the same network. As an individual who considers himself fairly open-minded, usually I would not mind this kind of behavior. However, I have the sad duty to report to my audience that yesterday, on Saturday afternoon (during which may I add the rest of the house was day-drinking heavily), 4 members of BOX played this game for 6 consecutive hours. These poor souls sat together in a room strategized there conquest against the computer foe(s). There is vehement divide amongst house members as to the role and place of this game. Upon questioning one of the non-AOE players, I was told to name this post, "Age of the Gays." I must say, I too disagree with the actions of those who have decided to follow the path of Age of Empires. The author on the blog known as Mary Swanson, the only female author of the blog described her feelings toward this humiliating practice as "so embarrassing." What began as an innocent Christmas gift for one person has now taken over the majority of the house. One by one they have fallen to this adversary. I will leave my reader with a ray of hope, the most ardent of drinkers have stayed strong to their commitment refuse to let themselves be infected with the poison that is Age of Empires III.
