that's not the author's point. It's basically "don't be a dick" to the devs. Let them know everything that's wrong with the game, give them a low score, but consider that they might not have been fully satisfied with the end product either, not because of their incompetence, but rather because of a time crunch or…

Perhaps I should have blockquoted the one that I replied to. In any case, I only contradicted Tyler because he was contridicting someone who posted something that agreed with him ;) I'm just pointing out that GeekyJ posted a (largely) Pro-Tyler response to "G", who the only anti-Tyler in this thread who won't let it…

putting "beef-free" on the label might help, but then they might think that it was free range beef.

As I've clearly failed to provide a timely music link, the following will serve as semi-relevant references.

Bevell didn't consider that the QB that he was coaching would ever throw an interception in a goal line situation late in that game because that QB wasn't Brett Favre

(I think he totaled -1 yards from the 1-yard line this season.)

incidentally, "lil' something" is the pet name for my dingus.

heh. 4 byte integers? As if. Civ came out when the typical PC OS was DOS 4 (5 being released the same year). It had FAT16 support. The typical variable declaration for integer (in BASIC and Pascal) was 8 bit (with double or long being 16-bit). I believe the standard x86 assembly language was capable of 16-bit ints…

Overflow/score rollover was a common issue in old Atari and some arcade games though. The devs of Civ should have been well-versed in such issues.
