Am I the only one who hates actors pretending they actually play games?  I mean, I know they're actors, but really!  Some nice gameplay footage is alls I need.
 
(also, I love the dude's games, but Sid Meier creeps me out)

that was the funniest shit i've seen in a long time, so true 
 
i get so sucked in to civ games i end up playing them obsessively and not sleeping for like a week until i finally crack and shut it off, then i don't play again for weeks or months.  i'm sure the same will be true for civ 5, i'm excited about it and i can't wait to play it, but i'm gonna play the piss out of it for a week or two and then shut it down for a month cuz i can't take it 
 
i would totally join civanon, or my wife would sign me up eventually hah

Liked the Civ game on the 360, which is one of the few RTS games out there that I was able to do some good at.

sorry to nitpick, but Civ isn't an RTS, RTS stands fro "real time strategy". Civ is turn based, it's a TBS (turn based strategy) game.

They did one of these when civ 4 came out.

In reaction to this ad campaign I will be alt-tabbing between every single version of Civilization in order to satisfy my needs in a giant turn-based orgy of strategy.
 
This is not a threat. It is a promise. Don't you dare cut me off Sid...or it'll be your last turn!

Yeah, the only way t deal with Montezuma is not to take any of his needy bullshit and wipe him off the map as soon as possible. 
 
Also this ad spot is hilariously true, with civ 4 on my laptop if i had a free weekend with nothing to do i'd pretty much stay in bed for an entire day and play through an epic game on the largest map in a single sitting.

Figures.  I'm still waiting to upgrade my computer to play Civ 4.  At this rate, I'll have a new computer by the time Civ 5 comes out.  I guess I'm just stuck playing Civ 3 for the next few months.

Oh the irony, I just ragequit a game of Civ 4 I'd been playing for about 5 hours. God damn Montezuma and his god damn backstabbing with his god damn 59823747831 unit stack. Is it really reasonable for someone to declare war just because I didn't give them any free pig?
