I actually thought you were older, but that is because of your signature (55-65).
Keep up the RPC's, maybe you will have that three hour marathon tribute someday.

For reasons unknown to myself I imagined you as about 19 years old, and because I am so suggestable I always pictured you as a misanthrope wearing a lab coat sitting in a dark secluded area cackling at anything and anyone.
Here is what I think now

Coincidence?! You decide.

NOW that is truely a frightening comparison!!!!!
To set the record straight, I mention teh age thing in my signature because I went through pretty much all of school without a computer, something I think is unusual for most here. And the older crowd (I know I am not the oldest) were into the computer business earlier than myself. AS a chemist that means all the science courses were we studied/reviewed via the old fashioned way, with a pen and paper and your brain. Calculators were a newer thing and we were happy to use them. Sure I took a BASIC (the laguage) computer course, but at that time computers held you back more than helped you. I also typed everyone one of my term papers through high school/college on my father's old 1930's ROYAL typwriter (I actually still have the damned thing) in which letters had to be slammed hard on each to force the ribbon to imprint ink onto the paper (you NEVER made a spelling mistake, thus rarely proof-read what you typed, you relied on what you accurately handwrote before). A real hunt and peck with two fingers method. Also in submitting papers then spelling counted (for some reason spelling is held in less regard for my teenage daughter's teachers, go figure) for part of the grade. Now everyone who was born in my time types like a barbarian, my wife is quite fast and elegant and NEVER mistypes anything.
So if anyone want sto know why I type like a drunken Ragnar with 10 thumbs it's for several reasons: 1) Modern keyboards allow me to soften up my key hits so I type faster, 2) I still do not proof-read, a habit from my school days, 3) I do not feel the desire to proof-read and consider myself liberated from the old ROYAL barbaric typing days.
And finally, if anyone has ever wondered what my wife looks like

I grew up with computers, so I'm a very fast typer. I make a lot of mistakes but usually correct them while typing. Also oddly I don't use my pinky and ring finger while typing.

You think you make a lot of mistakes? Try an alternate keyboard layout!:
Spoiler :
This is what my keyboard layout looks like.
I found that once I swapped to the Dvorak layout, I made a ton of mistakes, but after about two years I now make far fewer mistakes! And the mistakes that I do make are usually vowel swaps. For example, I might type "thinking of yoi un Rome" instead of "thinking of you in Rome." But it's much easier on my hands.
The first month was hell, but after I got over that, it is definitely preferred to QWERTY.

I've never used it, but I could tell just by looking at it that it'd be less cumbersome to use than QWERTY. The problem is...well...that because of work/school/etc I'd still wind up having to use QWERTY also, and concentrating on using two different keyboard layouts is

It's not as bad as you think. I can flawlessly swap between QWERTY and Dvorak. The only problem I ever have is if a sentence or thought starts with "AM" or "MA." Because both the A and the M keys are in the same places on both layouts, I'll forget which one I'm using and start typing gibberish

this is what typing qwerty on a dvoralk layout looks like
the problem is QWERTY is universally accepted as being the mainstream even though it was designed to produce the slowest possible type speed
old type writers used to broke because people typed to quickly so QWERTY was designed to slow them down

Yep, this is how it starts. A couple of perfectly innocent comments about how it'd be nice to have him in the game.
But, before you know it, we've descended into a whole world of war-crime comparisons, alternative histories and other such tomfoolery.
Turn back now, before it's too late!

Brilliant. I'm happy someone bumped this video as I must have missed it somehow.
Hilarious and a great tribute to one of our civ forum heroes madscientist

Yes thanks for bumping this, as I hadn't seen it. Definitely my favorite part was near the end when the two girls were crying and one turned to the other and said "Don't worry, he'll play as financial next game."

Absolutely hilarious - I have seen a parody of this scene before, but this was even more hilarious
