This is awesome hahahaha

I might just go to Maryland to celebrate on the streets... or just play Civilization alone in a hotel

Now that's what I call game advertisement! 2k taking it to the next level! That also shows how our (U.S.) government works, give someone in power enough money, and you can do/get anything! Power to the corporations!! Err I mean people!! **Raises fist in the air**

grant2004 · Jul 29, 2010, 03:51 PM

Ok everybody. If anyone asks why you're not at work on the 21st. You're celebrating an important holiday recognized by the state of Maryland.

Disgustipated · Jul 29, 2010, 03:51 PM

Is the game coming out sept 21st?

bjbrains · Jul 29, 2010, 03:52 PM

That would be correct.

I rather think it's insanely silly.

I just went: "Americans... sigh" in my head.

Dale · Jul 29, 2010, 05:30 PM

Yeah, this is just taking things too far. Yes, celebrate a computer gaming pioneer and legend, Sid Meier, but a GAME?

Dark_Jedi06 · Jul 29, 2010, 05:37 PM

Hopefully the release date won't change...

kurtkage · Jul 29, 2010, 05:39 PM

I am an American and I just went: "Americans... sigh" in my head. With an added lol

So yea either the Gov is a civ fan that just finished installing the latest build from Firaxis...

or some campaign contributions have been made.

Edit: ok it wouldnt be fair to not say that I think it's cool too!
must be brainwashed by consumerism.

civ_king · Jul 29, 2010, 05:46 PM

psst governor, we heard you were a civ fan, how about we give you an early copy in exchange for a Civ V holiday on September 21st?

small states often do these types of corny things. They weird things for other industries too, why not civ? Didn't Topeka rename their city Google for a day or so?

moysturfurmer · Jul 29, 2010, 06:02 PM

It's not just small states. California (among others) had a "Guided by Voices" Day.
I doubt any of those governors actually listen to them. He(ck), I bet they never even downloaded any of their singles.

Le Sage · Jul 29, 2010, 06:13 PM

Whoddya mean "Americans... sigh"!? If I was the President of Finland, we'd have a Civilization V day here as well! I think it's an awesome idea.
