PolyCast #187: "That Was That, This Was This"

Straight through the middle. The one-hundred-and-eighty-seventh episode of PolyCast, "That Was That, This Was This", features regular co-hosts Daniel "DanQ" Quick, "Makahlua", Philip "TheMeInTeam" Bellew and "MadDjinn" with returning guest co-host "Camikaze". Carrying a runtime of 59m59s, the summary of topics is as follows:

- 01m24s | News
The release of the newest Civilization V Downloadable Content (DLC), the "Scrambled Nations Map Pack", rears older criticisms.
- 06m26s | Senate
Agreeing, disagreeing and agreeing to disagree all wrapped into the contention that Caravans are more favourable than the Great Library in CivV.
- 12m47s | Forum Talk
Different answers and varying degrees of differences characterize a consideration of thought before making a move in the game and if recent advertising in the game is presently a mountain or molehill.
- 20m43s | Open Mic
Gratitude for a fan's appreciation abounds when a request made on the show's most previous episode to separate PolyCast's past and present into eras is fulfilled and is immediately followed by the reading of the same person's original poem "The Lay of the PolyCast: Canto One" (28m08s).
- 41m56s | Miscellaneous
The branching out of some former Civilization developer Firaxis Games staff into two new developers, Oxide Games and Mohawk Games; then, how high of an influence level have CivV players been able to hit with a City State (46m54s) and a past show guest's appearance on another podcast that carried out a "Video Game Character Showdown" (50m06s).

- Intro/Outro | Miscellaneous
An uncertain reaction and looking for a promise.
