Three Moves Ahead 132: Age of Level-Grinding Empires - a podcast by Idle Thumbs

Soren JohnsonandTom Chickjoin Rob for a discussion of Age of Empires Online. Tom opens by short-listing the game for "worst RTS ever made" and it's rough-sailing from there. Soren marvels at the disastrous interface, while Rob wants to napalm those cutesy Smurf villages. Then the panel talks about how AoEO could be redeemed, and finds there are some simple changes that could make AoEO a very good game.
