Ah, yeah. Had forgotten it was windowed, actually. And not an issue for higher resolutions, just lower ones. Aurora has this thing where it'll only display properly above a certain resolution (1200x1028, iirc) and there's absolutely no support for what happens if either of those dimensions are smaller (Say 1400x900). I feel your odd resolution pain, which is terribly strange considering how much time I spend with games that won't go over 800x600 ::)

Non-widescreen is better for old-gaming, I guess. Or having a CRT monitor (they're cheap, these days, if you can't just go and pick one up from someone's garage or whatever.) laying around to plug into stuff. Multiple monitors are kinda' neat anyway.

As for its interface, it only takes maybe 20-30 minutes sitting down with the wiki to figure out, more or less, what everything does. Not that bad, so far as that goes, but Aurora's even less of a game than DF is, being almost entirely data-driven simulation. Good for what the dev uses it for, not quite so much for the playings.

I tought i was the only one who plugged a CRT into a laptop with a broken srceen XD
Anyway, about WoT, it's actually one of the less grindy games to me, since really if you are having fun blasting other tanks into oblivion that doesn't count as grind, and once you die you can exit the battle and join another one in a different tank.

Also i think Battle Realms is free and it's a sweet little gem of RTS uniqueness

Allegiance, it'll be funny since I don't think any of us have decent experience with it. Why are people voting infiniminer?

There are two days in a weekend. We can do both and make Orb depressed that he'll never player Warzone 2100.

Two game nights in one week?! That's unheard of!

I was looking at TripleA and from what I can tell it's like Risk? If I'm way off then I suggest a risk clone as a game. (I should really stop suggesting games >_>)

I heard your like sieges so I put a Goblin fortress in your fortress so you could siege while besieged.

It's Axis & Allies.
I do put up board games on the list. Hence webDiplomacy.

I've got enough experience at commanding to at least not lead the team into permanent doom from the first thing I buy. Would need to refresh my knowledge of the tech tree a bit though, especially what goes on what rock. At least Bay12 pilots can be expected to do something useful if you tell them how to do it...

Well...I got the massive(grindy) campaign to play through. Got to missiles so far(whoever said they sucked should die). Also, didn't you say you could do some during the week? We could have a mini game or something.  :-\
