You are listening to three moves ahead, the official podcast of Flash of Steel.com.

This is episode 82 of the show, and I am your host, Troy Goodfell.

And with me today is one of my regular panelists, Mr. Rob Zakeney.

Good evening.

I have good internet for a change, so the sound should be perfect all the way through.

I fought, my wife and I fought with a tiny piece of hardware, and I'm now getting perfect signal in my office.

Now we just hope this recording turns out because, of course, Skype and Pamela decide tonight's the night to freak out on me.

But I hope we have a good show, we get to keep it because with us is someone

who's been trying to get for a while, but he's been very busy.

Someone who I met in Stockholm in January, a man always up for a drink and a conversation.

A friend of the show, friend of Flash of Steel from Paradox, the lead designer of Victoria

2 and copious commenter on the blog based on our discussion of this game a couple weeks ago.

Mr. Chris King, Chris, thank you for doing.

My pleasure.

Good morning, everyone.

Yeah, we have quite a time difference going on here.

So I hope you don't pass out in the middle of it.

I'll probably fall in asleep or something.

We'll try to shake you or something.

So I guess we should...

I would like to go over some of the stuff we talked about on the show a couple of weeks ago, three weeks ago,

and we talked with Victoria II.
