A Playthrough of Civilization 4 From A Bored Video Game Reviewer

A bored had a few beers in the evening and decided to fire up Civilization IV on a lark. After he got a bit established, he found myself thinking in the voice of a propaganda minister, and then like a real party wonk of the GOP. So he decided to approach nation building as though he were a very enthusiastic American of the 21st century.

He decided to ignore conventional research wisdom and instead rush straight toward the United Nations, so he could run it, and therefore set policy for the rest of the world.

It's a hilarious read.

Way to fail at posting a story summary. You didn't pay much attention to the test on how to contribute, did you?

Oh god I messed up the summary big time and I even put it under Rumors instead of Article.

That'll remind me not to post moments after I awake from sleep.

Sorry for being an ass. I have no right to do so, since God knows I'm prone to making the same errors.

My apologies, and I'll try to be more polite when pointing out errors.
