We've got one here. It's overrated. I mean it's good and all, but it's still a big chain.
I'd be up for a fancy black tie dinner next year though. That would be cool, then we could just walk around downtown all dressed up really nice and see if we get robbed outside little darlings.
Could always go to Ivars down on the water, you guys like seafood, and I'm sure they serve steak or something.

I never liked Civ4's treatment of religion. I vastly prefer the social policy system of Civ5 (which is a lot like Alpha Centauri).
Transports have always been annoying in every 4X game ever.
I like espionage in MOO2 and GalCiv, but having little spies running around on the map like military units was always kind of dumb.
the elimination of tech trading was a bold move
really, a whole lot about civ V is turning out to be a bold move
i am really admiring what they did, especially after their philosophy on civ IV
This is interesting. Is Civ V kind of busting loose of some of the hoarier old elements? I hadn't really been following it.
Kinda. It got rid of some of the stuff people hated. Transports and stacks. But somethings like Civics and Diplomacy have gotten even more complicated much to their benefit. It still can be a very neckbeardy game, they just decided to make it more accessible.
That's cool, civics and diplomacy are two things I actually liked.
Civics are now mini trees. Culture lets you unlock them. So you can get a lot of little bonuses or really focus in one area. And the addition of City States just adds a whole new dynamic to the diplomacy. Now we can have proxy wars like they did in the Cold War.

Have you seen Serious Man? I wonder if the Cohen brothers have read Pnin.
i've not
i wanted to, but frankie doesn't really like the coen brothers and doesn't like dramas or movies with frustration as a central theme.
i don't really know how she feels about jews. probably is not particularly patient with centrally jewish themes anyways
so that's my excuse for not seeing it. i'll probably download it to itunes and watch it sometime when she's asleep.
does it have some pnin parallels?
Pnin is a tragic character wrapped up in comic mishaps.
Serious Man is basically the same thing. It's not a story about Larry's frustration, but instead details the hilarious but also terrible things that befalls him.
Like Pnin, he's a tragic character who cannot escape his fate. Instead of focusing on the man and his attempts at changing the world around him, we laugh at how fucking ridiculous the hidden hand of the world is at making sure Larry never catches a break.

I dunno, I like Zooey better. To me, Katy Perry looks like Mattel tried to create a Zooey lookalike in a Weird Science lab.
I'm the opposite, Perry is a better singer, better looker, and I haven't seen her act, but if she can do more then just a doe eyed expression, better actress.

Sometimes I really love my job. Most of the time I like it. But these moments are special. Because I get to break a stupid idea and someone's dream at the same time. And it always kinda goes the same way. I say that we aren't interested in their business and that we wouldn't be a good fit. Which throws them off balance. No one expects to have their business declined. But then they go in a spiel about how we're a perfect fit. And then I break down their idea in detail. Ripping holes in it and giving them facts. And there is always a moment of stunned silence akin to telling a proud parent that their kid isn't evil because that would require some motivation and skill at something.

Man seriously just gis the dress she wore was not that revealing at all. I think I say the part of the video. Its not like they were bouncing willy nilly tantalizing the youth with their bounciness.

It's always lovely when you get to tell somebody exactly what you think in a work environment.
So much hedging of words and biting of tongues, normally, that when the gloves are off...

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

What exactly does the... hell I forgot. You have a pact for X amount of turns and have to spend over 300 gold before those turns end.
Is that how you generate new tech quicker?
Gonzo makes it with a fucking chicken, and Katy Perry worries people?
PUH-LEEEZE.

Also Civ 5 is the first Civ that has eaten enough time for me to win.
Only because they lifted the idea from MS a year after release and after seeing the fanbase reaction to gamerscores.

Nah just that I guess sesame street pulled a video with her in it because she was dressed too sexy.
pleasepaypreacher.net
Katy Perry did a bit for Sesame Street with Elmo.
She wore something that showed her hipster boobs.
People do not think children should see her hipster boobs.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall for the conversation where you ask her her opinion on the Jews
Katy Perry is not a hipster man, not even close. She's a pop startlet.
pleasepaypreacher.net
i, too, would be interested in this conversation
:P
i had garfield up there first but decided that cathy was kind of a better fit

ScarJo can pull off a lead action role! WHO THE HELL THOUGHT SHE COULD?

yeah
at the end of the treaty you get a free tech assuming you haven't cancelled it
(i think you cancel it by going to war or something)
hipster is basically like the wild card in a game
it can mean any and every thing, these days
Or you don't have a real marketing department yet.
But yeah, the first one is the safe bet.

Some website called them hipster boobs and I like saying hipster boobs so hipster boobs they'll stay.
Throwing shit at a wall really, I mean think of the ladies in hollywood, how many of them can headline their own non rom com movie?

when both of them vociferously deny being hipsters. It's like that problem with the islanders who only tell lies.
edit: that said, katy perry is so not a hipster
