Podcast Information
This podcast is a discussion of our favorite genres and games we've enjoyed over the years. It begins with a comparison between console and PC games and develops into covering both RPG and RTS games. This should be of interest to any long-time gamer.

The Friday podcast is an off-topic discussion. These are unscripted discussions with a general subject, and do not have a transcript or pre-recorded outline available.

When available, Donors will see both the outlines and podcasts in advance of their post date.


Did you find this subject utterly boring? Please, suggest topics and discussions, and ask questions for us to include in our upcoming podcasts.

Oh man, recognized that song immediately, brought back happy memories of playing my friends over the phone. When anything over 28.8 kbps was considered a fast connection lol.

That's why I preferred the Civ series to C&C and also the age of Empires stuff. Quite simply if a habitation centre needs a resource I expect them to be smart enough to walk to the nearest hill or rocky outcropping and quarry it. I don't mind micromanaging and building infrastructure and so on but things like that annoyed me. Despite that I just couldn't get away with the Sim city series as there didn't seem to be an end use.

One game that was pretty good that I found by accident was Ascendancy, kinda sci-fi equiv, but more galactic orientated than Alpha Centauri. Every time I unfortunatly go through an elf area the music does sound like a direct rip off.
