I’m Jory. There is no changing that. Quite literally every member of my family from grandparents to grandkids have only ever called me Jory.

Dead serious. My given name is actually “Jordan” because the nurse convinced my mom that a boy named “Jory” would get bullied a lot. But my whole family on both sides just calls me Jory.

A couple years ago my mother informed me that I was named after “Jory” from the sequel to “Flowers in the Attic”

Like, fuck that guy. But I have to admit that John Mayer Trio with Pino Palladino and Steve Jordan is pretty fucking great.

I think the only way you can’t have seen this in the USA is if you dropped out of 5th grade or emigrated here after middle school.

How is this special? Every single Gary Johnson campaign appearance is a joint affair.

Tip for happiness and expansion. Luxury resources can only be shared 4 times. So one unit of Diamonds for example can provide 1 happiness to 4 cities. So when you expand, do it in blocks of 4. 4 starter cities, then expand to 8, 12, 16 etc. Obviously it doesn’t always workout perfectly but you will be best optimized…

I love how the techs aren’t always the same quote. Each playthrough. It’s a little thing that adds a bit to replayability.

I believe it actually adds more money even if you just pass through it on another route. So if you had three cities in a line and you had a trading post on the 2nd city then you would get a small boost on a trade route to the third city if the trader passed through it on the way there. Not positive though.

I’m loving this Civ a lot. Another great addition to the game are the tech boosts. It gives each playthrough a bit more flavor and context.

You should be far more concerned about what will happen if the Huskies win the Rose Bowl.

I like that a lot of the quotes this year are less seriou and more tuned into the human condition. Like the Marie Osmond quote for discovering steel.

This game is turning into hot potato.

If anything, Milwaukee is Basketball purgatory.

They are gonna sign Jay Cutler... twice.

They already moved onto heroin years ago. The vast majority of the entire drug market is run through the Mexican Cartels.

You do realize the Browns still exist right?

I love how Phil Collins is the compete opposite of South Park’s version of him.

What does this even mean?
