@Aractain - Worthy of karma that post was! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] [e digicons]k1[/e]

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="7" id="2338006"]Frogboy, even though you speak the truth about the Stardock betas - good lord, man, you're scaring the children! Won't somebody please think of the children?[/quote] To hell with the childern! Just think of the gamers! [e digicons]:w00t:[/e] After all they are not everything; they are the only thing!

[quote who="Zaisha" reply="155" id="2337252"] Quoting Ron Lugge, reply 154 It would only seem fair to assume that Stardock employees are eligible for an Alpha slot. Although I don't think they would have to sign a NDA. More like, 'they already signed an NDA'! Brad doesn't need an NDA to control what Stardock employees say, he has bees. But seriously, there are lots of professions that have a built-in NDA. For instance, translators tend to sign one th

In the place I grew up "jock" was as bad if not worse than being called "gay". Jock = very stupid gay = strange Which is worse to you?

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="74" id="2335082"]That's a nice boat.[/quote] Yes it is. I love it but I lack the $25M to buy it - for now, one day however....

[quote who="Draginol" reply="72" id="2335051"] WHAT a deal! HEY, that reminds me, he never did send back my credit card. . . Those boat payments don't take care of themselves you know... [/quote] Boat? I figured you for a yacht kind of guy. Specifically the 118 WALLYPOWER ! Given you position and all that jazz!!! See it has all the Amenities a mod

[quote who="kryo" reply="144" id="2335061"] I think asking something indirect through which the information can be gained doesn't violate the NDA. We have asked the alpha testers to not disclose their status. Though it is not explicitly a clause in the NDA, they will be removed from the alpha if they do so (actual NDA violations would be more unpleasant). As slipping up would be bad for anyone who is testing, I'd ask that people don't try probing others for clues. You mi

I'm still waiting for another episode... I liked what I saw so far.

Removed comment to prevent any bullshit from occuring.

[quote who="Star Adder" reply="93" id="2333616"]The delay is most probably due to EA trying to pull another DRM stunt. MUHAHAHAHAHA...!!! [/quote] That is exactly what I thought as well as to make sure the console market is not undercut by people who own both platforms choosing to get the PC version over it and there is also the pirate PC version vs console issue to consider.

[quote who="Jalicos" reply="34" id="2332226"]Ignoring the flames... I interpreted Brad's statement a little differently from how everyone else seems to have interpreted it. I don't think he means that your sandbox game will have a storyline, I think he means the things in your sandbox game will have a story. If you discover a dungeon, you can learn who built it and why. If you find a powerful artifact, it will come with a history of how it was made and what heroic deeds were done w

I concur with GW as well as Ron. @Ron - I like exactly that type of sandbox game. Random events that can lead to others in a chain or not depending on what you do mixed with a host of other things...

Good stuff for sure. You just know it will rock on dual 30" monitors!!! [e digicons]B)[/e]

[quote who="Zubaz" reply="29" id="2329328"]For real game tie in we need something like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choose_Your_Own_Adventure [/quote] Exactly what I had in mind! I loved those "chose your own adventure" books.

Wow! I thought for sure all the IRC guys were the ones selected but then again it is Eets we are talking about here...

I'm glad to hear there is such a project in the works. If this game is done correctly it would surely warrant such a thing.

[quote who="Sammual" reply="26" id="2328600"] Quoting Spartan, reply 4For me it was the setup options, diversity of the game elements and dynamic play. Ditto. Just add kick ass Hero units you could customize with spells and artifacts and you have my list as well. Sammual[/quote] No doubt. I "included" that in the "diversity of the game elements" expression. [e digicons]:andrew:[/e]

[quote who="ChongLi" reply="18" id="2328269"]Why should you be concerned with that? Do you own stock in Starvault? If not, why does it matter to you what people think of the game? If you like the game, shouldn't that be all that matters?[/quote] StarVault? [e digicons]:typo:[/e] I think he is concerned - justly so, that the nostalgia factor may be a huge hurdle for SD to overcome for proper evaluation of its work. In short he wants the game to be judge on its o

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="116" id="2328265"] Wow, of all the postings only one individual posted a cheer for being in the Alpha. I didn't actually see anyone post that they were in.. who're you talking about?[/quote] I think he was referring to my "congrats" post to those that were selected. On a side note, I must admit I'm a little - OK, monumentally heartbroken I was not one of the lucky ones. I guess in the end I did not have "all the right stuff". [e

For what it is worth, as far as I'm concerned all the big dogs can simply vanish. They have manipulated the industry to the detriment of customers and fucked over gamers countless times. I don’t really see a need for giant publishers anymore to be frank. Especially those that compel developers to use bullshit on their products and severely limit the support and community interaction options and try to take away rights from gamers. Small developers and publishers like SD and PI w

Good news! Be sure to file it under "must use accolades" as well as the other recent article about both games for GCIII and SinsII. [e digicons]:beer:[/e]
