Ep.4 – Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate

Dave and Rob take a fond look back at 1991's Sid Meier's Civilization. While doing so, they discuss the history of the game, and the origins of the 4x genre before figuring out whether or not a player can be successful without one of its four phases. A quick look back at some user reviews for this game shifts the conversation to its addictive nature, while the podcast concludes with Dave dropping some mad science on why time seems to fly by faster as we all get older.
