A famous model railroader constructed an absolutely huge layout in his basement, composed of chicken wire, plaster, homosote, and concrete, ... etc ... after his death, his wife had to pay many thousands of dollars to contractors, with jackhammers and sawalls, to demolish it to smitherines ... And too, after his death, the late John Allen's home burnt to the ground, and that too would have cost thousands of dollars to demolish ... a businessman in S America, that often visited dozens of Countries in his lifetime, had 30 two hundred gallon drums full of coins in change, and it took thousands of dollars, and many trucks, forklifts, and dozens of burley men to cart the coins away, to be sorted, counted, and sent back to their respected Countries.
I alone probably have bought $1000 of lumber and construction hardware, and allot more in model RR track, cork roadbed, wire and electronics ... most of it all thrown out in the trash.
Now with Trainz I can have a completely obsessive compulsive disorder hobby, that overwhelms my life, ruins my free time and eyesight, cancels my vacations, and destroys my marriage, leaving the pets water and food bowls empty, and the baby left ignored crying in the crib :hehe:
The game should come with a warning label: "Caution, Highly Addictive" ! Once you play, your entire life will be consumed in Trainz ! Your night time (and daytime) dreams will be in surveyor laying track, and driving in Trainz, and you will no longer have any pleasent dreams of being on a sunny vacation beach in the Carribean, Your family will be having fun at the Casino, but you will be down at the railtard (where you purposely booked your 3rd rate motel room) in Las Vegas, your wife will leave you, or go on vacation without you, and you will not even miss her for 3 months, the kids will be left unattended in the playpen crying, and you won't even hear them, the dogs water bowl will go dry for 3 days straight, your school grades will plummet and you will get kicked out of college, you will get fired from your job for not showing up for work and callling out sick (when you are not even sick at all), your neighbors will hate you, and will call the cops on you for (multiple) excessive noise complaint(s), as they will think that a train station has moved in right next door to them, you will sit in a chair for 18 hours straight, and get carpal tunnel syndrome, you will sit in front of a blinding PC monitor so long that you will go out and buy "Blue Blocker" gold tinted oudoor sunglasses, and will instead wear them indoors while playing with Trainz, Do not use medications, nor drink alcoholic beverages while operating Trainz (as you will most likely spill your drink, and forget to take your medication), If you are pregnant, do not smoke while playing Trainz, as your ciggarette will totaly ash, and you will have wasted your money on cigarettes, and your baby will grow up to be a RR engineer, and his first words instead of being: "Da Da", will be: "Wooo Wooo", do not cook or barbeque while operating Trainz, unless you really like totally incinerated burnt up foodz, everyone you know will look at you in wonder if you are crazy, when you say outloud: "WoW ... That beautiful sunset sky looks just like Pomme13 ! If you can not afford to buy Trainz, DLC content, or a 1 year FCT (costs @ 0.06 cents per day), N3V may be able to help you, by once again having their "Sooper Dooper 75% Off Sale" on TS12" !
