Things that make you go WTF

SUVs are sold as "trucks" to avoid emission and fuel economy standards for automobiles

Anyone here remember when SUVs really were trucks?

On a mildly related note, I and my wife happened to be listening to the TV one day when the announcer informed the viewers that next up was "Law and Order: SUV." We decided that this was about a special police unit that only dealt with SUV-related crimes, and that when they finally went to trial it invariably got derailed into an argument about which model of SUV was better.

"So you see, your Honor, this shows that the Ford Excursion is in all ways the inferior model, with poorer balance and underperforming engine, clearly demonstrating the guilt of the accused. The prosecution rests."

At the bus stop I saw an Amish family
Five people, including an elderly man in a wheelchair with a missing leg
Alongside them were two Sheriff's Deputies
It really looked like the deputies were "escorting" this family
Making absolutely certain that they left on the next bus out of town

I am certain this small band posed such an imminent threat to local law and order that the officers would have been justified in taking much more extreme measures

So I was playing a game of Civilization IV in the early stages of creating my new world-spanning empire. I then got the message "Abraham Lincoln has introduced Slavery."

That made me headdesk several times. Every once in a while that game can still manage to completely boggle me. That was SO not what Lincoln was famous for.

I've played I, II, III, and V. I've heard IV is good, have it from a bundle, but got V at the same time; haven't got around to doing IV. The reviews on Steam do not like VI. I also like Endless Legend, which is somewhat similar.

The whole thing of having to build and designate city sectors before you can do much was a major change compared to the rest of the series in Civ VI.

So you've played it? Did you like it?

It’s all right, but not as good as 4 and 5 IMO.

I appreciate the confirmation of what the Steam reviews are saying.

I also don't like the modern marketing model of selling you a partial base game and then selling what was essentially base content as DLCs. I avoid those games. Honest new content is fine. Granted, they seem to be putting a lot of effort into the animations and other fluff of VI, so the cost of development is some justification. The failure of the MOO franchise should be instructive that prettier is not necessarily a better game.

I love Civ 4. I also like Civ 5, but for some reason my current comp hates it and keeps crashing when I run it, so I've not had much opportunity to play it the last few years.
