I read the entire article while waiting for a meeting today.  Overall, pretty good.  Takes me back to a time when everything was new and exciting -- and when I had more time to play video games!

Not sure if you've posted this, Brant, but the same author has a history of the CIV series.  Given your affinity for the game, it might be worth a read: https://www.pcgamer.com/the-complete-history-of-civilization/


Thanks. I'll check it out after my son's soccer game tonight

I say that it's best to appreciate something for what it is rather than what it is not.


that is an exceedingly positive viewpoint, and we should probably all consider adopting it more often (or in Mirth's case, at all)

I am positive everything sucks.

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.
