Morning Discussion

A video featuring the son of game designer Peter Molyneux made the rounds yesterday, featuring the young man asking Valve to hurry up and release a new chapter in the Half-Life series.

He's right. I'm looking forward to Portal 2; however, the continuation of the Half-Life series will eclipse everything Valve does for that year (in terms of expectation and anticipation) for me personally. But perhaps that's why it isn't out yet.

Until then, keep fighting the good fight, Mr. Lucas Molyneux. Oh, and ask your dad to re-tool B.C. and release it on the Xbox 360. That original Xbox cancellation still stings.

      I enjoyed being Washington, getting a free settler immediately from a ruin, and then buying the tiles between my two cities so that I controlled all of Northern Africa.

        I trapped an Aztec scout this way. He scooted in between two of my cities into a spot otherwise surrounded by my territory. I bought two tiles between the cities and trapped them in there. Watching them wander back and forth in their prison for dozens of turns was amusing.

        AFAIK they released a very small patch yesterday to address some compatibilities issues in the EU/worldwide version.
