Or you can get dwarves that kick all sorts of ass. :P

Haha, the second scenario is awesome. I made it to about 40 days. Those raids of 3 ogres are too tough to beat, eventually they broke down all the towers.

I'm just good at bribing people. ;)

Eep, nothing related to PAX I hope Boogie :P Get well!

It's funny how a mod that's been years in development for a game after years of development and patching is being compared with a pre-beta of Elemental for gameplay. :D

If you order the box from Stardock directly, they will ship it overseas. You will of course have to pay the higher shipping, but as long as you're okay with that :)

[quote who="AgentNihilist" reply="21" id="2365799"]Another bit of news on PBEM - I was at the friday(I had the Sword, take that footman2!) showing and someone had asked about PBEM, Brad's reply was that there was no techincal reason they could not implement it - only laziness. The general gist was that they were looking into it.[/quote] Yeah, and he also mentioned that PBEM was more likely to happen than Hotseat.

SW:TOR wasn't playable and it wasn't on the show floor. It was shown off in a theater twice, but the lines were so long I didn't stand in them. On another note, I highly encourage everyone to go to the next PAX. Stardock's going to be there and they're all great fun to hang out with (except maybe Yarlen, but that's 'cause he's just drunk all the time). Ironclad will also be there and Blair is a great also (he was only there for one day though :() The 3-day PAX pass is only $50

I might still be in some of Dae's videos. Ready to play is more than just IM stuff, it will find people for you to play with based on your profile, so it's more of a matchmaker. And it's not exclusive to Stardock or games on Impulse, you can use it for any game.

This hasn't been mentioned anywhere yet that I've seen, and it wasn't part of the official presentation. However, there was a bit of a ruckus on the forums recently after Brad mentioned that they might filter out people with very low upload bandwidth on the Stardock servers. At PAX, a question was asked if people would be able to host their own servers and the answer was: YES. Stardock will provide their own servers where they will be able to guarantee quality of play (pings,

I tried the Tru Blood sample :P It's just orange soda, basically. It reminded me of some Shasta flavor I used to drink when I was a kid. It's not bad, but definitely not worth the premium price ;)

[quote]Again, really great to meet you, Kyle, Alex, and John at the booth (and thanks for driving a few demos to let me rest my poor feets)[/quote] Likewise :) It was a lot of fun to get to talk to you. See you there next year!

Yeah, it seemed like with every presentation there were more and more people gathering around to see it. I think it also helped a lot to see how much you and Scott were excited about it. People would come up to him and ask about it and he'd just talk their heads off and you could tell he really liked doing it. It definitely helps when the developers are that enthusiastic about it :)

[quote]Thought this was coming out post-PAX. Hope it's a good read...I always worry about being too technical/dry in these things.[/quote] It was a good read :) Gave some good insight into your process!

Decided to sneak this one in, did you? :) Hit the external link for the article. Some good screenshots and concept art!

Those are some great screenshots and a fun article to read! And that building editor..

Hairy man-nipples, even!

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?

That's a nice boat.

Eureka, Star Trek: TNG, Star Trek: DS9, the new BSG, Stargate: SG1. If I had to pick an absolute favorite, I'd have to pick BSG.

Is there any chance we could get an updated screenshot of what the normal map looks like currently? :D

I just hope we'll still be able to make items go through various branching "crafting" paths to really customize our units. :)

I love UI screenies. Awesome!

He's one of the IRC regulars. I can't speak to whether or not he's "very good friends", being that he gives pretty much all of them crap (playfully). :P
