Cracked.com and a Civ 3 screenshot

[Xeer]

Just saw this at Cracked.com's website. In the story 6 Books Everyone (Including Your English Teacher) Got Wrong, entry #4, Machiavelli's The Prince, uses a screenshot from Civ 3 as one of the illustrations.

So? Civ is a popular game.

 

[DJNotNice]

Heh, cool. What's not cool is that I'm now going to waste a good hour looking at articles on cracked.com.

 

[Takhisis]

Well, is very Machiavellian. That's why it's the best civ out there.

 

[Azale]

That was a great article.

 

[bombshoo]

Yeah, not really surprised, but thanks for the article.

 

[Tee Kay]

Well, Civ3 is a great game.

I have 31 Cracked.com articles open currently. I made the mistake a couple of weeks ago of following a link from a TVTropes article, knowing full well what I was in for.

And as for TVTropes? I've currently got around 33 open tabs for that...

I used to believe there's nothing more addictive than Civ/CFC. Then I discovered that site.

I actually started on the warhammer 40k page. And if you look at this page

You might understand why I was on the site for so long...

Just check out the Doctor Who, Mass Effect and Fallout pages. You'll be there a while as well.

I always hated that whenever someone gives me a piece of nonsense saying that Machiavelli's Prince is for the purpose of giving an advice to a ruler, and forget that it can be interpreted as a satire for persuading rulers to do the quite opposite.

 

[Ajidica]

I still like The Prince. He does have some good advice in their, what with getting the people to like you instead of the nobles.
