I’ve played enough Catan over the years to know that the game goes to shit one it reaches its ‘late-game’ phase, which is when two or more players hit eight points and spend the rest of the game myopically fixated on winning their final two point by whatever tactic they think is most viable. This period tends to drag

Also, you don’t redact online documents using black highlight. ;-)

I can’t not read that as “A Derpness in the Sky”.

Errrr... I just took a look at the contents of the installer package for the Mac version of this, and it installs something called “dict.txt”, which is a 14MB dictionary file broken down into a huge number of different languages — it’s the sort of thing that’s used to crack passwords.

Honestly, the whole “talking about money is vulgar” attitude is like... SO quintessentially British.

What is the proper approach to using oral histories, especially from cultures that did not have their own written histories (but did have a rich oral tradition) prior to Euro-American arrival? In basing our narrative solely on traditional documentation (i.e written sources and archaeology), are we being

In each of these ridiculous epi's I've watched, there's always one thing that just kills me more than all the other crap. In this one it was the leet speak explanation. I mean, come on... how many times must this be explained??? And I move for someone to live tweet each episode. Because, jokes people. SO. MANY. JOKES.
