I just found a "bug" in Civ5. Or maybe it is just overlooked. If you have adopted and filled out the Patronage tree ( http://civilization.wikia.com/wiki/Social_policies_%28Civ5%29#Patronage ) City states whom you are allies will grant you great people, sometimes one of those great people is a Venice Great Merchant, a unit normally only availible and atainable by Venice. That is somewhat funny to me as you can use a Venice Great Merchant to "buy" the city state. Just something I found funny :)

@mrmattimation lol :D
-
@mrmattimation Yes and no. Yes that it is on 50% off right now. No because it has not been on flash sale yet. And every Steam Veteran will tell you to only buy on Flash Sale, Community-choice, or daily deal ( order of preference ) . I myself got it in the Humble Bundle a few months ( ? ) ago. I bought the missing DLC's somewhat before the holliday sale though ( T'was still sale ). So yea, I could probably have saved about three-fiddy. I'll try to keep in mind to call you out when it is on flash sale.

... I think, neigh, I am sure this became more a game of waiting than it is about anything else :o http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/765343

I think it is only a matter of time before Portugal or Siam are going to wage war on me. Primary reasons ? I keep proposing things they do not like in the World Congress, and I am bigger friends with City States than they are. Time to roll out Battleships ( just reasearched ) ( Civ5 ) :)
-
@metaltao Ah, sounds like a great skill for a diplomat or lawyer though.

@randomwonderbolt Hi :)

@metaltao Debunking... ... What ?
-
@techdisk *queueing*
-
@metaltao Or, you could say that Bronies love anthromorphism and/or cartoons. Although at that point I am pretty sure you'd almost go out of your way to avoid the furry stigma
-
@bakasenpai I think you narrowly miss what I am trying to say here though. Disney's Robin Hood and Sam & Max and Dust an Elysian Tail is anthromorphism done right ( in my eyes and opinion ). As such I will defend Dust an Elysian Tail stating that I love the anthromorphism art style. Furry art-style on the other hand I see something as anything between anthro and the "Furry Force" funny ( That colegehumor thing, I will not link that for I am sure I might even get banned for mentioning it ). Then again, that is what I think
-
@nicklecat Ah, I feel the same at my job. I hope you have a good day nontheless though ^^
-
@nicklecat I think I'd like to be a librarian :) Mind if I ask what you are ?
-
@nicklecat Are you a librarian by any chance ?
-
@broniebrown Ah, do not see the 2nd video then, that one made me facepalm. It might make your head explode. ( if the curves on the line on the chart of expected results are exponentially similar between you and me )
-
@metaltao Supposedly there was another act planned right after you got the whole story on how Dust came to be. Focussed somewhat on why that general-doofus and that assassin fellow came to their conclusion to do what they did, aswell as their friendship.
-
@broniebrown I am not sure what is more of a surprise to me, that you actually watched both video's, or that you did not know that stuff like this was going on in the land of video-game-entertainment.
-
@bakasenpai While I would agree on that, it certainly is one thing you actually have to mention if you want to talk about "antromorphism done right", Other examples are "Sam and Max" and "Dust an Elysian Tail".. but hey, Disney is so much more famous than the other 2 in the top 3
-
@bakasenpai I actually prefer to get a review from someone who is biassed to like the game, and someone who is biassed to hate the game. It paints such a nice picture methinks :) Also the more obvious a reviewer is biassed towards 1 side or the other, the more valuable his review is, since if he/she fakes being totally unbiassed you have to guess what side of the coin he was actually thinking of.
-
@metaltao "are the main characters", plural. I love that game :D Plan to do it again somewhere next year. I really hope the antagonist story DLC will fall into my lap one day ( it was cut from the main game due to time-contraints T_T )

@critialcloudkicker @broniebrown http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/9075-Salt-Of-The-Earth-A-Steam-Fail-Story ( Earth: year 2066 story, note that in a future video he confessed to have mistakenly thought the kickstarter guy and the earth:year2066 guy to be the same guy, they were not ) and http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/9281-Air-Control-A-Steam-Abuse-Story ( Another story of Steam abuse, this time in the light of "Air Control" ) ... Both video's are about terribad games that should have never gone anywhere close to a gaming-outlet. Although it would probably have been a 8- out of 10 as school project. As long as you are a solo-team and have a fortnight
-
@metaltao I recommend this game to everyone who can get over the whole "furry = bad" stigma. Also people who liked the furry Disney's Robin Hood http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/765338
-
@broniebrown There are cases pretty much like this one though. A game which is horribly in need of a 2 Gigabyte patch on launch. Orion: Dino Horde comes to mind. Also a whole lot which is on Steam Greenlight. And to make matters worse, some of the Greenlit games on Steam are abandoned as is. Still, not much worse than that Earth game or that Airplane-game which were the highlight of JimQuisition episodes not too long ago. Let me dig them up * goes searching *
-
@metaltao Pretty sure he is primarily talking about big titles costing big bucks primarily. If not, well, lets just say that I will not find myself weeping for 5 Euro. For I know it would probably end up spend on junk food anyway :)
-
@metaltao I usually look at totalbiscuit, angry joe, kotaku, metacritic, and/or tiny reviewers. Depending on how much dirt I am willing to dig up. I am not going to lie here though. Totalbiscuit's video's alone are usually enough for me when it comes to expenses of under 5 Euro.
-
@broniebrown "makes me moan, wanting to close the video" ... Yea that is a REALLY big "thing" on how I base my opinion whether I want a game or not. Which takes me back to the trailer and Totalbiscuit's video's on this thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S79C8NJCntQ followed by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TJYIHZ4bKM&feature=kp . Don't get me wrong, I REALLY would have liked a tactical FPS to fill the shoes of SWAT4. But after seeing that 2nd video I had the same feeling >_<
-
@mushi reviews are always biassed, but they do raise concerns. It is based upon what I see, and what concerns are raised on which I deem something worthwile buying or not. And yes, no doubt it will be one of those games which I need to have a hands on approach on before I pass my final judgement. Then again there is a HUGE caviat here, and that is that I do not own a WiiU, but do own a 3DS XL.
-
@metaltao Seen it before, I still like it :)
-
@mushi Big expense = big research in my book. I do not even have a WiiU, and since my wallets are not bottomless... Well... Yea... Also if one of my friends is going to get it ( very likely ) I might just invest in a JXD like device or a Pirate Islands GPU instead. Mainly because of the nature of party games.
