PolyCast Episode 281: “Shouting Into the Void”

By | May 20, 2017

Where your screams may or may not be heard. The two-hundred-and-eighty-second episode of [url=http://thepolycast.net/polycast]PolyCast[/url], “[url=http://thepolycast.net/polycast/season11.php#episode281]Shouting Into the Void[/url]”, features regular co-hosts [url=http://apolyton.net/member.php/2-DanQ]Daniel “DanQ” Quick[/url], [url=http://apolyton.net/member.php/22677-Makahlua]Stephanie “Makahlua”[/url], [url=http://forums.civfanatics.com/member.php?u=136315]Philip “TheMeInTeam” Bellew[/url] and [url=https://www.youtube.com/user/SBFMadDjinn]”MadDjinn”[/url] with returning guest co-host [url=http://forums.civfanatics.com/member.php?u=78007]David “Hans Lemurson” Skold[/url]. It carries a runtime of 59m59s.

The summary of topics is as follows:

– [i]02m04s[/i] | [b]News[/b]
An up-and-coming [url=https://civilization.com/news/entries/civilization-vi-digital-deluxe-new-content-free-dlc]announcement for[/url] [i]Civilization VI[/i] is generally, seemingly unexpectedly, met with a [url=https://www.facebook.com/civ/posts/10155123092215359]positive[/url] [url=https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/new-content-coming-to-civilization-vi-digital-deluxe-edition.615084]reception[/url] from the community… and some expected divergent, widespread speculation.

– [i]47m54s[/i] | [b]Open Mic[/b]
Drawing the line between too much and not enough (constructive) criticism for [i]CivVI[/i] following a suggestion that the show [url=https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/polycast-episode-279-feel-that-impetus.614482/#post-14740027]doesn’t have enough[/url], and answering an email asking about “which civs and playstyle are best for each play speed” in the game (51m41s).

– [i]Intro/Outro[/i] | [b]Miscellaneous[/b]
Unconventional beginning, second in separation and questionable recollection.
