No, what you want is a complete guide that takes you through it at a more absorbable pace. I recommend Pandolfini’s Ultimate Guide to Chess.

Wow, not bad. Sejong was my dude, I hate to see him replaced, but Seondeok seems like a worthy replacement.

I was 8 when the thought first entered my mind. Fortunately for everyone around me, I ruled it out.

Or, more often, don’t.

Were you planning on offering any analysis with your before-and-after pics?

I actually dig the districts. The only problem I have with them—and with units—is that you simply can’t build them fast enough. Like, you start building one when you hit the Medieval Era, and by the time you’re done, all the other civs are in the Renaissance.

One of the things I’m gonna be watching for in this expansion is whether other countries continue to hate you forever for fighting back when an enemy declares war on you. Crowd me, then stab me in the back? You’d best believe I’m taking that city you plonked down on my doorstep as restitution. That doesn’t make me the…

This could be risky, since he might receive the coded message loud and clear and decide to teach you not to meddle in his affairs (double entendre intended).

Because historically those…

Underrated album, IMO.

Also, punk Sombra already exists. It’s called Los Muertos/Azúcar.

Docs are work boots, not “soldier boots.” On the other hand, in the mid- to late ’80s, the market was flooded with surplus olive drab army jackets from Germany. Those were very big among the punks I knew.
