A collective enthuasiam for, concern cast or indifference towards not one but two sequels to XCOM: Enemy Unknown through publisher 2K Games.

Converting forests into lots and lots of gold in Civilization IV, not wasting worker turns in CivIV and CivV, and getting too close for comfort -- so to speak -- in CivV.

Giddiness sourcing, happiness for that which is lacking ever more, and now tweeting.

Sounds like nice feedback for another good season. Keep up the great work!

While there's a case to be made for all the regular co-hosts, it came down to Maki's long-standing and dedicated officiating efforts in the singing enforcement role for me.

Thanks, Joel.

Sounds like you enjoyed the episode too (pun intended for sure ).

In the title you put Polycast 138, but then you say in the description "one-hundred-and-thirty-sixth episode". Is that a mistake or some episodes don't count? I'm new to Polycast.

-- good catch. The description was in error... corrected.

I'm new to Polycast.

Greetings, new listener. Hope you enjoyed this episode.

Out of curiosity, how did you find out about the show? From the news items on CFC or..?

I found it from CFC front page. I may not be exactly new since I have been listening here and there for a few months. I just don't listen regularly and sometimes just listen to one part of the show that interests me.
