Good evening you are listening to Three Moves Ahead and I'm your host Rob Zakeney.

Joining me tonight is freelance writer T.J. Hayfer.

Hey, what's up?

Welcome back, T.J.

Yeah, it's been a while.

It has indeed. We have not had enough Viking-related shows so your expertise wasn't really

required. But tonight, since we're going to be talking about gray goo and you reviewed it for IGN,

I figured it was time to bring you on home.

Yeah.

Well, I'm glad to be back.

And we also welcome visiting from the Gammers with Java's podcast is Sean Sertis Andrich.

Hey, it seems to be.

Aren't the Guos basically Vikings?

Aren't they the Vikings of this game, I feel like?

They do have sort of like a raid and pillage and disappear into the night play style.

So I can see the parallel.

I can see the parallel there.

So, yeah.

So as you might have guessed, we are taking a little break from our winter of war gaming to talk about what I think is a pretty exciting new RTS. And from the impressions I've gotten from my fellow panelists here, I think we're all agreed that it's kind of a cool game, that we might disagree on the degree to which it's a cool game. Obviously, the person I really wish we're here,

so I could argue with him and tell him why he's a joyless...

Yeah, we're talking about Tom Chick, really.

Who doesn't love here in that?
