Three Moves Ahead Episode 471: Anno 1800
Michael replied to Rob Zacny's topic in Three Moves Ahead Episodes
I'm surprised someone noticed... The short story is that after many years of doing this I asked for the summer off. -

This is an Idle Thumbs thing, back in the day on their podcast they had many animated discussions about the genre. They didn't like the acronym M O B A, so they set up the forum autocorrect settings to replace it with "lords management". The same with pine apple. I asked about that one, and they can't remember why ********* is also edited out.

Episode 461: Three Kingdoms as a Setting
Michael replied to Rob Zacny's topic in Three Moves Ahead Episodes
I know nothing about the subject and I thought the episode was a hoot, mostly because it was a great panel. Even if I don't get all of the references, I enjoy listening to people that are knowledgeable and passionate about their subject matter. -
That's coming up late this week! We had to record it a little later than we usually do, so I hope to have it up by the weekend.

Interesting take. I gave Rob and Troy a very clear task of relaying on the show that Into the Breach was my personal game of the year, but they both forgot.

That would be "Spanish Flea", most well known for this rendition by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. I haven't used that in a while, it's usually that or "The Girl From Ipanema", which was referenced once a long time ago by Tom Chick. I think I need to move onto something else like Yakety Sax. It was also one of the themes from The Dating Game. You know that's weird, it's embedded in the file and on the soundcloud page, but I must have pasted the wrong version into the thumbs CMS. Either way, I added it to the post: Troy "this is the year my musical theater career takes off" Goodfellow

Episode 453: Black Hawk Down and Zulu
Michael replied to Rob Zacny's topic in Three Moves Ahead Episodes
Thanks for all the feedback, both good and bad. It's always beneficial to hear what people think of the show. Let me tell you, that idea has been kicked around internally quite a bit over the years, we just haven't quite hit on the correct timing / format / procedure yet. Yet. The time investment required by the participants is vastly different for one or even two movies than it would be for the type of meaty books that a discerning 3MA listener would want to hear about. Or I'll just start my own Malazan Book of the Fallen podcast. Maybe Bruce will want to be on it. -

That probably means I forgot to put in the link after creating the forum post. I'll double check it! If there's no link inserted when creating the show page, it defaults to the forum page. -
Episode 451: Cities: Skylines - Industries
Michael replied to Rob Zacny's topic in Three Moves Ahead Episodes
That was an issue that I fixed earlier- delete and do a redownload and that should fix it. The wrong file was uploaded to Soundcloud originally. -
Episode 451: Cities: Skylines - Industries
Michael replied to Rob Zacny's topic in Three Moves Ahead Episodes
Glad you liked the show! I’ll shoulder most of the blame for the decreased output over the last few months. Real Life Stuff was happening for most of the main players that plan the show, myself especially. The good news is that, as of last week or so, that’s mostly behind us. We’ve been getting our planning together for what to do after this Thanksgiving week, and I’m pretty excited for what we have coming up. We have some good Winter of Wargaming content planned, several new and interesting games to cover, and something NEW to Three Moves Ahead that I believe will be well received. Stay tuned, and thanks for your patience! -
Episode 448: Valkyria Chronicles 4

Also, I'll re-plug John Bartholomew's chess channel, he was a great guest on the show. Also: Mato Jelic and Simon Williams. All great and informative chess channels. -
Episode 447: Tactical Management Games
Michael replied to Rob Zacny's topic in Three Moves Ahead Episodes
I firmly agree that we need to work more Dominions into the show somehow. -

Episode 438: Procedural Content and Strategy Layers in Games
Michael replied to Rob Zacny's topic in Three Moves Ahead Episodes
Yes, I (we) apologize that there has been a gap. We try very hard to avoid missing a single week - much less several - but some personal-life issues have come up and it caused a hiccup in our schedule. Sometimes real life gets nasty and in the way. We have several shows planned and will be back on track very soon. Sorry for the wait.
