The everyday life of gamne company folk.
Episode 1 of 4027
Scene - Firaxis HQ
Present - Sid and Brian
SM : Brian, what do you think of my ideas for a civII rip o.. er, I mean follow up.
BR : OK as far as it goes, I think it should have more babes in it, though
SM : How do you mean?
BR : Well. Have you seen our new production assistant?
SM : The Brit girl?
BR : She's Scottish, actually. I celebrated St Patricks day with her
SM : So what do you propose
BR : Well, let's make her leader of the vegetarians.
SM : The what?
BR : You know the one's that live in the trees. You know, she really goes in the open air.
SM : You haven't?
BR : That's for me to know....
Enter JKM walking oddly
SM : Hi JKM. What's up?
BR : Jeff, you're sure walking funnily.
JKM : It's odd. A guy ran up to me in the street and said he was from the future and knew what I was working on.
BR : You mean one of the CtP crew?
JKM : No. Didn't recognise him. Anyway he took out this CD. Didn't see the title but it was called SMEG or something. He stuffed it...
BR : He didn't...
JKM : He did. I doubt if I'll be able to sit down and check for any bugs now.
Doorbell Rings
Sid opens door. Chinese pizza delivery boy enters.
Boy : Pizza...
SM : Just drop it on the table, son.
JKM : Christ this is killing me. I doubt if I'll be able to eat anything
Pizza Boy : What do I care for your suffering...
BR : Hey, son, do you want to be in a computer game....
Tune in later for the next episode of Firaxians...
--------------------------------------------
Episode 2.
BR : Morning Sid, I've had some new ideas about the factions
SM : Good we need more - we've only got two.
BR : Yeah but I'm proud of both the Vegetarians and the Pizza Delivery Boys
SM : Brian, I'm not sure about the names.
BR : Nah. Sid. They'll be great.
SM : So what's the idea today.
BR : Well. No new factions yet. I'm not sure that we need them. It's about the Pizza Delivery Boys.
SM : Yeah
BR : Have you noticed that when one pizza place opens, another one invitably follows and then another and another...
SM : so?
BR : We give them +1 growth to reflect real life. That'll shut up those whingers who are bound to complain that the game doesn't have enough realism.
SM : Great idea Bri. But I'm sure we need more factions.
Enter JKM
SM : How's the bugs, Jeff.
JKM : still can't sit down. I'll QA standing up in the local pub, if you don't mind Brian.
BR : fine by me
Exit JKM
SM : Well I had one idea. Why not a bunch of survivalists - we can give them military advantages.
BR : booooring. Every game has something like that. We need a new angle. Got it - the Flower Sellers.
SM : What?
BR : The Flower Sellers. They get +1 planting flowers.
SM : We've already got the Gaia... I mean Vegetarians.
BR : Oh yeah. Forgot. Have to watch the play balance.
Enter JKM (drunk) and Carmen the barmaid from the local pub
JKM : I don't know but I've been told,
Carmen the barmaid really goes,
she's gorgeous with a ready wit,
dig that crazy latin b....
Carmen : (kneeing JKM where it hurts) Any more of that and I'll do it again
SM : What's up Carmen.
JKM : oooaaahhh
Carmen : He's drunk and tried to grope me. No man does that.
BR : I've got an idea...
SM : No Brian, please
BR : Carmen, what do you look like in leather... oooaaah
exit Carmen
*********************************************
SM : Feeling better now Brian
BR : Yeah. We've now got three factions. Makes me feel really a whole lot better - the Vegetarians, the Pizza Delivery Boys and the Barmaids.
SM : Wonder what Carmen looks like in leather?
Tune in later for the next episode....

Is this true, because I don't understand, not a ---- of a word.

Every word is true.
