    The next American realignment

    In 1968, many segregationists reacted to the Civil Rights Act's passage by switching to the Republican Party. The Democratic Party, long the party of Jefferson Davis, then the party of an uneasy alliance between abolitionists and Dixiecrats, became superficially the party of Martin Luther King...

    DLC 05 anticipation thread

    I don't care if it's a map pack in the end; this forum is demanding the next, next DLC thread. You're welcome. What clues can we find in the present code? What hints can we tease out of developers' cryptic tweets? What educated guesses can we make with past release patterns and updates to...

    What do you think is the DLC release plan?

    It's now late March. While it might have felt rather slow after Civ 6 came out, we're now at four Civs/leaders compared to the seven that were released for Civ 5's cycle, five if you count the Aztecs. Do you think we're going to see more DLC released this year before the first expansion, or...

    The Resistance!

    The Resistance is a hidden role game where there is no player elimination. Instead, each player (not all players, depending on the game) in turn chooses a certain number of other players to go on missions. Each mission must be approved by majority and then only succeeds if all mission members...

    Do you leave subtitles on?

    "Do you leave subtitles on when you're watching stuff? I personally have a hard time understanding what characters are mumbling, and I consider myself pretty good on listening to things. Sometimes the lines are also too novelistic to pick up on the first pass."

    Releasing expansions by continent/region

    I think this would be a good way to placate everyone for a hypothetical Civ release. Have the base game contain the usual suspects, then release five or six expansions that each represent a continent or region, each containing ten civs.

    Right. Time to play The Resistance.

    How could this forum not have played The Resistance? You guys. If you have, still. You guys. The Resistance is a hidden role game where there is no player elimination. Instead, each player (not all players, depending on the game) in turn chooses a certain number of other players to go on...

    New Zelda might be nearly ten times larger than Skyrim

    Um, wow. http://www.eggplante.com/2016/06/14/full-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-map-revealed-roughly-360-square-kilometres/ Not sure if I'll buy an NX for this instead of getting it for Wii U...but yeah. If you've been watching any of the E3 streaming, linear game this ain't. 1rPxiXXxftE

    What game trailers still give you chills?

    Elder Scrolls. Elder Scrolls every time. How about you? Mass Effect 2's Heart of Courage needle drop also.

    One City Challenges are going to be harder.

    Without access to pure Wonder spam and the passive penalty that comes from not being able to access some tech bonuses, this will be interesting.

    Will Civ 6 be similar enough to 5 to have improved AI?

    Or will it continue the trend of throwing all its units at you, then waiting for its demise? Combined arms likely helps the AI make some good units--those stacks of doom from 3 and 4 were kind of its saving grace.

    Will multiplayer be integrated this time?

    Civ 5 was a step backward from Soren Johnson's multiplayer-first design. Do you think MP will be integrated this time around?

    Nintendo crawls out of hole, sees shadow, falls asleep

    Strange. http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/27/technology/nintendo-nx/ I guess if they're trying to reboot themselves with aggressive marketing by Christmas 2017, they can do worse than give themselves time to get a worthwhile launch library. That's being very generous.

    The great scam of TV streaming begins

    Welp. http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2016/04/26/tcm-and-criterion-team-up-to-create-netflix-for-good-movies Just one problem: I'm already paying for the Criterion Collection on Hulu. Once Criterion leaves Hulu for yet another streaming service, I'm essentially paying for delayed broadcast on...

    In defense of long TV seasons and case-of-the-week episodes

    We're getting a lot more TV series then we did in the past. More cable channels are getting into original production, more online series are popping up from Netflix and Hulu, and some purely web series are beginning to pop up in serious form. Most of these shows are using HBO's format of...

    Fifty billion dollars for fifty Democratic Parties.

    If a movie can make a billion in a few weeks, then a bunch of nerds around the world can raise enough money by 2018 to recruit truly progressive candidates. Howard Dean's 50-state strategy is the best possible route for a truly progressive Congress. Creating long-term familiarity and visibility...

    Do you buy comic issues regularly? (Rantin')

    I hate comic books. I love comics, but I hate comic books. The 30 page floppy/pamphlet has been the single anchor that has weighed the medium down and kept it from being as visible as it could be. Monopolies like Diamond Distributors are only a symptom of what's actually now a very simple...

    Are you a mumbler? Is proper articulation more of an enemy than a friend? Do you strain to get your verbals out in a clean manner? When you speak, do people listen, or do they say, "What's that, you poor thing?" My most humble CFCers, speak on this matter...if you can. What techniques...
