I do use the notes from times to time. In most cases it is because you mention some new game and I don’t catch the exact naming, or I miss which game you been talking about for the last minute. Then I can scroll down and see. The notes are handy but not essential. I think it is good if you put up links for new games you mentioned, but you don´t need to be as meticulous as you seem to be now putting up a link for everything you happen to mention.

Disapointed Derek Paxton isnt making a deep 4X Fantasy. Such a waste of his talents.

eXplorminate 9 years ago

He is, but it won’t be out this year. At least that was the last confirmed but of info. I don’t know the title or release date for this unannounced title.

Enjoyable listen as always guys, especially Nate’s fantastic Civ6 rant. 😀
My feelings on show notes:
* show notes with links are fantastic (if I don’t have time to listen to the whole show, I can click on links of interest), but I understand they take a lot of time to produce
* show notes without links would be almost as fantastic – it is easy enough to find the relevant article/post/discussion once I know what I’m looking for
* no notes at all would be missed, I do like being able to tell at a glance what games / topics were discussed on any given show

Show notes for every thing you mention in the cast is not necessary. Don’t need a link to Galciv 3 every week.
Show notes for new things are useful. If you talk about a specific event or news story, a link to it is nice.
I also use the notes for when I miss something. I listen while I’m working on other systems. I don’t have the time to listen to the whole thing again or search for a specific audio mark or even write down a note to look for something later. So for me the notes are great.

i feel confirmed that i avoid Civ6 so far 🙂
it’s hard as i had played Civ5 very very much, but it’s just not worth to bother till they fix a lot.
just skip Civ6 and go on with DoA or GalCiv3 Crusade.
@notes: i like the list to know what contend is in the podcast and in wich order it’s covered.
don’t need the links.
great show, thanks!

Cameron Wood 9 years ago

1.8 patch is the result of people complaining about the naval aspect of aow3 for a long time, and also Eomolch’s mod “The Old Man and the Sea.”
