While the last Civilization V trailer got us hot and heavy with menu footage, this one hits a little closer to home, dealing with the trauma and tragedy of Civilization addiction.
This clip marks the return of Civanon, 2K’s great promotional campaign for the series that were it any other publisher and any other series would be a stupid attempt at cheap laughs. With Civ, though, it comes across as terrifyingly realistic.
I, for example, will be requesting my wife takes an extended holiday later in the year. Better that than she see the state I get in when oneturnitis sets in, and I revert to a more primitive state…

Just wish the AU steam store wasn’t charging $30 more than the US store.
i’d already have it ordered otherwise.
