That's also where the fairly awesome Space Pirates And Zombies is only currently sold. Worth a look :)

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

I, for one, don't read that thread, what with not owning Star Ruler. :P

I tried getting impulse to work once. That was fun. Should have just pirated the bloody game but after toying with impulse I didn't want to do anything that did not involving bashing of objects for quite some time. It was back when Stardock still owned it though.

Yeah... between these two things, I don't use Impulse anymore. In fact, once the games go on sale, I'll probably be buying them off Steam instead. Already done that with one game. I can't even tell you how many times I had to pirate games and use the Impulse-given key, instead. Anything above a certain size simply won't download via Impulse. They claim it's my brand of modem, but it's been like that for years and they haven't fixed it. I have no problems with any other download managers like GoG's downloader or Steam.

Sorry. Mini-rant over.
