      Had to vote "Other", as I enjoy most reading my own articles.

      Okay, perhaps not. All sensible The Column articles are interesting, as I do want to read ones related to a broad selection of subjects, and not just very similar ones.

        My favorites got to be one with opinions on games, and criticism. It's so rare to see constructive ciriticism...

            Odd that only one other person out there likes to read game developer comments or interviews.

                I like humour (hint, hint), decent juicy interviews are good, especially when coming up to a civ title. My favourite (call me shallow if you will) are just nice pretty pictures

                And my Laz, you're really after Emperor title aren't you

                  You're shallow, PH!

                  Humour is always good, people involved with the game and opinions on the game are also usually interesting. And nice pics are like icing on the cake.

                    Given my average rate of posting On-topic I expect to get that title in early 2008.

                      Insights into mads are always revealing.

                      Please god no more disections of Civ3, or wishlists for Civ4.

                        Insights into the creation of a scenario. Every month I scen will be presented (deep inside what happened during the creation work, the most important phases, an overall view of the scen with rating of art, sounds, playability,...) and finally a detailed folder with some hints to win the scen with all playable civs. Well that would be something new and I would appreciate it if I see it. I might even volunteer to write such articles if people are interested (yup a little hint).

                          Sort of like a tutorial?

                          If you made the advice generic it might be great for a tutorial to teach people how to edit games.

                          Otherwise, that sounds more like a scenario or product review. Which is good, but I don't think the Column is interested in those sort of things.
