Hahaha, they have links to real articles talking about the addictive nature of games like Civ

Surrogate Reality. In many cases, particularly for those gamers who take in excess of 80-90 turns at a single sitting, a false reality will set in. Addicts find it impossible to separate their game life from

I'm afraid it was too long ago to remember. I think it was just one of those portals filled with banners taing you to pay sites.
