400 Turns of Civilization V

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the but-what-about-the-grid dept.

Wes found a preview of one of the most anticipated upcoming releases by the inhabitants of my office: Civ V. It starts "This preview of Civilization V is incomplete. It takes more than nine Earth hours, you see, for the great Arabian empire — land of Mecca, Rio De Janeiro and Beijing — to assume dominance of the globe."

    The preview states

    Look for this game on September 21 and make sure you have a computer than can run it.

    So... fill in the details. Will it run on my PowerMac 6100?

    Tag op 'advert', plz.

    Oh hacker, please! A review of a new version of CIV? That's definitely "news" and that definitely "matters" you, you, script kiddie.

    I rewired my brain for CIV. I need CIV like I need oxygen and Cheetos. Go back to your Halo 3.1 or your Mario GoKarts or WTF, the grownups here are trying to <reverb> Build an Empire to Stand the Test of Time!!!</reverb>

    Sorry if you don't get it, kid...

    Seriously, why would you:
    1) Even post such a non-controversial, irrelevant thought
    2) Not even bother to see if the product you're proposing already exists
