Diamondeye · Dec 24, 2007

I'll watch it asap - go Kmad!

Julian Delphiki · Dec 24, 2007

You can only listen it

Listening girls talking about civ :goodjob:

"Tries to be one not to giggle" :lol:

"He's got really pretty color too!" :goodjob:

Btw, it's very disturbing to watch Cow & Chicken and King of the Hill on mute while listening this (not to meant as an offence in any way

)

"Which Caesar?" :lol:

Now its getting mega-giggly .. 65mins ->

Diamondeye · Dec 24, 2007

Great - Kmad is doing good. That giggle is becoming legendary!

Great quotes:
"...and then I ask Hubby: I just founded a city, guess what resources it has?"
"Pigs and iron...?"
"I got pig iron! I got pig iron! I GOT ALL PIG IRON!"

"sometimes, not very often, I name all of my cities after candy :blush:

"

"For me an early war is around steel"

"I can lose on all difficulty levels"

ZOMFG KMad's gonna be on PolyCast????

"Which Caesar?"

that is a fully legitimate question! there were two caesars in history you know ... julius and gus. i get the feeling gus was easier to get along with.

we had way too much fun doing it!

the older episodes are fun ... especially where DanQ gets details of the game wrong

. he used to play on pre-settler level, but he's actually learning. he was a noob but he's not a permanoob - only some of us get that distinction.

it's true! not even "gonna be", it's already up there. i'm kind of afraid to listen to it. it was a blast to tape it but i said so many dorky things! anyone who's read at least 7 of my posts knows i'm not above admitting embarrassing things, of course, and that i'm completely silly. but i dunno, this might be too much *giggle*.

I fixed it for you. Caesar is the Roman equivalent of Pharaoh. :dubious:

OT: anyone ever notice how few people use :stupid:

?

KMadCandy · Dec 24, 2007

how many pharaohs were there? i've heard of King Tut, i even saw his stuff! but i can't think of Pharaoh Anybody. :confused:

so caesar is the roman equivalent of a word that i don't know what it means. very useful, thanks!

*giggle*

Spoiler :

Verge · Dec 24, 2007

Excellent! This will make for some great listening later tonight!

Thanks in advance, DanQ.

PimpyMicPimp · Dec 24, 2007

I like this format much better.

No moar boyz plz

And now that I've actually heard to infamous Kmad giggles I'm going to have a lot more fun reading her posts

kniteowl · Dec 24, 2007

"I can lose on all difficulty levels"

Hey DanQ, you finally got yourself a rival

.

Hey Kmad, do you raze AI/opponent cities if there's a location where you could get PigIron????

Angst · Dec 24, 2007

Haha, this is awesome! :goodjob:

I'll probably listen to this a couple of times xD

Both Ramesses II and Hatshepsut styled themselves Pharaoh, for a start, as did Tutankhamun. The word is most commonly used as a synonym for "king", and Hatshepsut actually dressed as a man to legitimize her claim to the title.

"Caesar" just went on to mean "emperor" - actually, the word for emperor in several European languages evolved from the word "Caesar".

The polycast was great fun, as always. It's always interesting to find out what the different people behind the handles and avatars around these forums actually sound like.

-- we're our harshest critic!

Spoiler :

i bet dan didn't edit the show enough to make me look actually smart about history or geography. even he can't do the impossible! *giggle*

Poor KMad...

Welcome! Hope you'll follow-up when you've had a listen.

What an unexpected turn in the comments...

The format for this episode was atypical and its panel not a regular composite. Still, scheduling permitting one or more of the first-time guests here may return for another episode or more come the New Year.

And now that I've actually heard to infamous Kmad giggles I'm going to have a lot more fun reading her posts

I effectively listened to this episode some times more still before it was even released :mischief:

and it does have replay value. :yup:

I hope that Polycast would make a new year 2008 special.

Very entertaining.
