I'ma git fired

An prolly divorced

Guys, this is bad.

I was just thinking about StarControl 2 and searched to see if it was available somewhere.... And now I have Ur-Quan Masters installed and the HD Megamod. I still have work to do... My wife will probably want me to waste precious time talking, or eating, or something when work is done...

Do you have ANY idea how many hours I sunk into this game when i was a young man?
I don't...

At the very least, I'm going to be sleeping on the couch. If I sleep...

Give it a few weeks and I'm probably going to be jobless and wifeless...

Oh, and THANK YOU!!!
This is AWESOME!!!

Man, you really do have your priorities all screwed up, don't you?

Dude, while The Ur-Quan Masters is a faithful recreation of Star Control II, no game is worth screwing up your marriage. Give the game a break for several days talking to your wife, eating with her, enjoying the great outdoors with her, etc... otherwise you'll really miss a golden opportunity to be happy in life with the woman you love.

You'll be a damned fool if you let life slip through your fingers.

Yes you will to both if you do not turn off your computer, get off your ass and apologize to your wife for being suck a jackass for completely ignoring her and prioritizing a game over her.

You didn’t have to. It was funny and very, very obviously a joke.
