Hope you enjoyed/are enjoying the episode, ChinaBlue.

Burn!

Aww don't be like that, I love you too DanQ

Spoiler :

for providing me with the opportunities to hear Wouter's voice and his adorable accent

Hope you enjoyed/are enjoying the episode, ChinaBlue.

Yes I have, thanks. I like listening to "boysplayingciv" talk about the game.
Having said that, now and then more girls joining in the conversation would be nice.
I know there is Makahlua and i wish she'd talk more.
It's comforting to hear evidence there are more like me out there,
all the women I know play sims and dinerdash
Then again, i don't know many people because I play civ you know
Anyway keep it up, I'm a fan of the polycasts and hope you have Kael back someday, the ffh ep (#23) is my favorite.

 

[Elhoim]

Glad to be a part of it!

 

[Fjordson]

good, I was wondering when the atheism topic would be featured

-- I said what is was I said because I thought you were joking about affection for Wouter because you ended the phrase with "".

Same here... it's oh so very dreamy, and... 'errr...

But that episode had no Maki!

Glad to be a part of it!

We (I anyway) had no idea that it was a topic any of our listeners were hoping we would be cover, but we aim to please!

, the ffh ep (#23) is my favorite.

I'm guessing you haven't heard the episode without Dan (with the extra benifet of no Imran). From what I remember, much more Locutus and much more Maki.

Lots of cathing up to do, hadn't heard that one yet but listened this morning and enjoyed the pre-bts speculation locutus/makahlua overload "guy with suitcase nukes" chat a lot. Thanks for the link.

@DanQ
As much as i love civgirltalk, i still prefer anything fall from heaven (and that episode got me into it..)
Another thing, would or wouldn't it be a waste of my time if i pm you a few questions for makahlua to answer in a next polycast?

... enjoyed the pre-bts speculation

For other pre-BtS release speculation including episodes than 15, there's 12 through 14 and 16-20. The 12th, 16th, 18th and 19th episodes are especially "pre-BtS-centric".

Ahhh.

Not a waste of time at all; in fact, it sounds .

Another great show! Interesting about the Mac part, even though I didn't (and still don't) understand it. I'll pass it along to our Mac HOF Staff.

 

[Locutus]

Wow, I wasn't present for that segment (had a prior engagement so I had to leave a little early) but I'm amazed even tech-savvy people can be that ignorant about such basic things. I'm not a Mac user either but even I know that Boot Camp = multi-boot tool and Parallels = virtual machine. Quite a huge difference...

Woohoo! My first groupie

BTW, you guys may be interested to know that we're running a series of polls on Apolyton about different aspects of the show, so that we can improve upon it in the future. Right now we have polls on favourite host, favourite guest, and preferred episode length -- and we'll be having more polls like this in the weeks to come. Please check it out, vote and let us know how you feel about these issues.

Yeesh, no one's perfect. Of all of us, you should know that...
