Age of Empires III
Well I have decided that I will not have anything to do this weekend with photography. I was thinking about going for a nice long walk but unfortunately I have a nice blister on one of my toes so that seems to be out. Instead I have installed a copy of Age of Empires III. (AOE) I know this is a bit sad but it is a way of taking your mind off things.
The only problem with this is, of course, I still keep thinking about photography. Am I becoming an obsessive person? Possibly or just very dull. Anyway, back to AOE. The new game is not really as good as the older versions but there are a couple of problems with the older versions. Firstly, I sold my copies a long time ago and somewhat pine for them now. However, the second problem means that even if I still had my copy I probably wouldn't be able to play them. You see AOE will not run on Vista 64 bit. Well this is not strictly true. What happens is that when you go to run the program you are told to download a patch from Microsoft. Why, you may ask this is not covered in a service release I just don't know. Anyway, once the patch is installed then AOE III runs fine. I suspect that this may not be the case with the earlier versions. Such is the way of life.
