A Mandalorian Wars Battlefront-ish game wouldn't work because there wouldn't be any recognizable hero units you could market (Fett, Vader, etc) and the grunts would have the same problem (no Stromtroopers, etc). An EAW-ish game would have a similar problem in that there wouldn't be any popular vehicles to include (AT-ATs, X-Wings, etc). It would just end up looking like a generic sci-fi RTS rather than a big deal Star Wars game.

Beth just needs to add dune buggies, combo finishing moves, and lots of lens flare. Then it will be awesome.

Rebelstar Avernum 4 Wasn't Red Orchestra a free mod at one point? Or am I thinking of something else?

Reminds me of Disneyland for some reason.

Falche is cheating, Illunder. For shame.

"Apparently Stardock is going to be working on a fantasy one next, either a true sequel, or spiritual sequel to Master of Magic, depending on if they can get the rights or not." Very interesting. I hadn't heard that. Something to keep my eyes open for.

"The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan W. Watts" I used to be obsessed with Watts when I was younger. I'd go around recommending them to everybody and not understanding why people weren't interested in these odd Buddhist books I liked. Yes. Kerouac's books overall were probably my biggest literary influence and On The Road in particular. Hunter S. Thompson has never been too far behind.

Yep, Paradox is a publisher/developer. Some games are developed internally and some are not. Stardock is the developer for Galciv 1 and Galciv 2 and they are published by Paradox.

Galactic Civilizations II Out this Tuesday However, I'm going to wait to hear from some of the other kids (who pre-ordered it) before I buy it.

It's kind of a 'jack of all trades' high level TBS game (as opposed to low level tactical). This may help.

I agree, but it's also kind of rewarding to see something your interested in from the inside and really know the nuts and bolts (to a degree).

They're accepting beta testing applications now (at least they were last week). I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 2 (yet again)

It's like a Happy Ending, only more fancy.

Needs goatse.

I tried to dl it earlier this morning from Gamer's Hell and got cut off after just 13 megs. I'll probably wait a few days when the demand has died down. Or someone tells me it's OMG! MUST PLAY!!!!

That Manowar picture should be on the side of a bright yellow van. Or maybe brownish orange.

You also might want to check out Legion Arena if you can find it cheap enough. Here's a review at Wargamer.

I just heard Teenage Fanclub for the first time in like over 2 years the other day. It was like taking a leak after a 4 hour long car ride. Yes.

"I just happened to get lucky enough to find some links to the mag scans.... But I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to post them here...no. I think I just keep them, to not violate the almighty FAQ, of course" In totally unrelated news, some guy posted the scans over at the Codex. What a coincidence.

It needs more squiggly lines.

Aphex Twin - SAW 2, disc 1, track 3

I cut my teeth on Run DMC, but these days I'm more likely to listen to Blackalicious or Public Enemy.
