Column #202; By Bugs ****ing Bunny

Great Article Man

It had me in stitches and I agree 100%.

I'm telling you, every time I built the UN in Civ 2, I watched the movie, and every time I watched it, I got a chill down my spine...

Some of us never built the UN...

I find it hard to believe that the guy who wrote Sid and co. with the Great Wall-backpackers and Mikes Chapel-pickpockets ideas could be disappointed with a bronze foot...
Another classic column all the same.

[Lonestar]

Great column.

Bitter much?

[spartak]

Nice one bugs.

[Hueij]

Maybe Dan and Markos can hire Bugs to write a column every week? I'm sure we all can live without new upgrades of VBB or other things DanG spend their revenues on... Pay Bugs instead!

[spartak]

Thats a great idea. Bugs must be the most interesting writer on 'Poly.

Nicely written column. Not only is the writing trenchant, but Bugs had a real point to make (content). I find his humor more amusing when tied to some actual issue and when it is not "too" overblown. Liked this a lot better than the AH interview. (That one tried too hard.)

I agree that the lack of wonder movies is a step back. I think that the grinning leaders seem to repeat the bad idea of moving from video to animation. Even though video is (more lifelike). The stupid leaders seem similar to the stupid bobbing and weaving heralds of Civ2. I think the problem is that someone interested in programming graphics more than creating art was allowed his way in the project.

I found the SMAC videos better than the Civ 2 videos, even though they were CGI.

If/when Bugs is interested and available to write another article for <U>The Column</U>, I am most certain that he will submit one.

Hey Dan, could you loosen up. The overly formal language is verbose and stilted...

[Dugrik]

Excellent column and straight on target.

However, it doesn't appear that the Apolyton editor who tagged the article "As if Civ couldn't get any more addictive -- it did", actually read it.

[DanQ]

By-line typo... will be corrected shortly (if not already when you read this).

good column, and yes SMAC is still keeping it's own distinct appeal with its in-game movies we don't have in Civ III ( you did notice also without any voiceover at all....odd for a recent game ). Really, the most terrible thing Civ III can do is destroying sleeping time. It is still an addictive game even without the technical improvements it should have had.
