All gaming is divided into three parts, one of which the handheld gamers inhabit, the console players another, those who in their own language are called the master race, in ours PC gamers, the third. All these differ from each other in language, customs and laws.

Why are there practically no games that have Hitman's disguise mechanics?

I don't have work because of the impending blizzard. I haven't played games in forever, and I was thinking about getting Civ 5. Does it suck?

Civ 5 is fun and I like a lot of what it tried to do (less micromanagement, better UI, minor power politics, more interesting factions), unfortunately it's got terrible AI and the dominant strategy is throw food at everything. If you were super hardcore Civ 4 player then you might not like it, but it doesn't suck and it's got some cool stuff to play with.

e: yeah get the expansions

e2: also don't get beyond earth

Baba Yetu owns and The People Are The Heroes Now is cool but honestly I like Civ V's music better. And the narrator is better than Nimoy :colbert:

Ha, yeah, okay, cool. I suppose you also enjoy scratching your nails on a chalkboard and have a recording of that which you listen to instead of say, a beautiful symphony. Great taste, StashAugustine.

Cool part is that there's no combat or unit creation. I'm very curious to see how this plays out. It hits early access on Feb 12, but apparently the price tag is pretty high, around $35 or something. But at least the video has a shoutout to SA/Goon Squad

Interrupting fartchat to point out that this looks really great, he's been on Three Moves Ahead a couple times to talk about it and I've really been looking forward to it.
