Will this be interactive where we get to ask about planned bugs or an article where we get to hear about new graphics?

Holy GOD! That is one of the funniest, most brilliant things I've ever read in gaming! This piece NEEDS more press. It's sooo classic, Raingoon!!!

Although several parts made me actually laugh (very hard to make me laugh, sadly), here's one that really got me:

quote: CARAVAN: I'm still in program. That's not a pun -- I'm serious, I'm completely sober. And I have Sid to thank for it. Q: Wow, there's something the fans never knew: Caravan is on the wagon.

"Caravan is on the wagon"!!!! Oh, God. Tears in my eyes it's so damn funny. I also like the whole: "I'm made of light. I've got game" thing!!! Christ.

I bow before the master.

Freakin' brilliant! LMFAO! You can tell that Raingoon is a professional writer. And even if he isn't, he should be.

	Suffering from ads?

I really enjoyed your column, Raingoon.
Is there anyplace we can read more of your stuff? What kind of work do you do? Freelance?
Very nice...smooth and engaging...perfect.

A classic! Some honest-to-god-laugh-out-loud moments! Just one problem. Who's the lucky guy who gets to follow THIS act?!

Would add some critics here. Not good at all, IMO. Some average writing and pointelss article. Not to be painful, but... my thoughts.

Absolutely wonderful!

As others have asked... Have you published any of your work yet?
Where might I find some? You have an almost Douglas Adams touch going on there. I loved it. It was all so sordid

Keep up the good work!

Great article except for this line...

quote: Q: How did you meet Sid Meier? CATAPULT: Sid used me as one of the engines in Railroad Tycoon 2.

I may be wrong but I am pretty sure that Sid did the first RRTycoon, with PopTop or some other company doing the second game.

I just wanted to point out my one concern with the column.

Well, that's what they call high cotton! To the question what else have I published -- I'm in the process of publishing my first book, a very different type of fiction. But one of my most favorite things to do is to write an Apolyton column for absolutely no compensation other than your great reactions. I'm a Civ nut, no apologies. Been coming here for years. Great, great site for a great, great game...

And to the person who thought it was a pointless article, really I couldn't agree more. Shamefully pointless. But who are we two against so many? Thanks for the feedback!

Hats off to you, sir. A fitting adornment to the great game - and I can see you will appreciate how high a praise that is.

In fact, if you don't mind my saying so, I think the idea would sustain a short series - and that the advertising/promotional guys at Firaxis would show interest. Might be worth sending them a copy to see whether I'm right.

If I am, my fee is a copy of your book, once published. In case I'm not PM me with the title and publisher. Suspect the other posters would be glad of that too.
